So how much did you raise ? Must a sight to behold you in a leather thong.
Your not on holiday with my mates are you ?

thanks Doc , you can't unsee that !
Eh, there are at least two on here that have them and one of them is an Elite model.
So target audience is potentially Tossers; there are many admirers of them on here.
Ignore the form they are all about the function and in that respect they are hard to beat. But for some the fact they are not a HD Will forever be a sticking point.
Even our own Doc has stated his Indian is better in all respects than his HD, but he wouldn’t have another as it’s not a HD. So people care more for the brand than the quality or performance of the bike, otherwise; as Sonny Barger once said “we would all be riding Hondas”
Here’s mine and I love it;
Very true my Indian is a fantastic bike, and much better in every department than my Harley.
A bit harsh of me to say I wouldn't have another because it isn't a Harley but I don't think they will ever compete with them but those who have given Indian a go know.
Size is also a factor when I eventually sell it.
Just had a look at the HD CVO equivalents and they don’t have one listed (Ultra Glide) which would be the closest comparison with the rear topbox etc. But all the others which are lower specs than the Roadmaster prob more Chieftain equivalent; start at £38999. I like HDs but most of what you get on a CVO spec model is standard on a normal model Indian. That does make the Indian Elite range look better value.
That said I don’t think Indian models will hold their price as well as HDs as it’s just not a well enough known brand here.
I picked up my Roadmaster at only 8 months old for £20k less that that Elite model. That’s an awful lot of bike for the money and not a lot of difference from the Elite. Personally I think it’s the HDs that are more overpriced, that said there’s not enough difference between the standard and Elite / CVO models to make me pay the extra to own one.

Think its the same suspension on the Cvo ? as the cheaper model. So it will still be rubbish.
Just found this CVO Limited price
This would be the full dresser comparable with a Roadmaster, starting price £50395
for the 2023 model the non limited CVO model was starting at £42k So the Indians are looking like a bargain by comparison.

There are people with money who will buy it on the company books as alternative transport.
A bit too Wurlitzer for me;
