QUICKSPIN I 2022 Indian Pursuit Limited
P94
all-American horses from its 1768cc
V-twin. Unlike the Road Glide, the
Indian is completely water-cooled
and the front of its motor is hidden
by a massive radiator, flanked on
either side by aero bodywork that
houses handy wind flaps to allow
cooling air to the rider's legs.
You're dealing with a motor-
cycle that weighs a massive 882
pounds dry, with a wet weight of
925 pounds and a six-gallon tank
of gas and the assorted trunk and
hardware exclusive to this model.
That's one big bike you're riding,
but the weight is centered well.
I'm not going to BS you and say
it's "light on its feet" or "the weight
disappears when you ride it," but
the Pursuit is surprisingly nimble
for such a beast. You need to be
careful, especially on corner entries
under brakes, as that massive girth
moves onto the front tire for turning,
but you can hustle the Pursuit hard-
er than you'd think at first glance.
The Pursuit will pull away nicely
from standstill, barely at engine
tick-over point, and the torque
comes in smoothly with hardly a
dip until you're past the 4000-rpm
range. At that point, you're better
off shifting because you're in the
meat of the torque and this is not
an engine you need to rev out to
gain the best performance.
You've got 31 degrees of ground
clearance to play with—it's not
much—but if you plan your corners
well, that's all you'll need. Scraping
(Above) Thirty-five
gallons of storage space
means you've got plenty
of room for a night or
two away. (Below left)
The PowerPlus 108 is a
torque monster and is as
smooth as Barry White.
(Below right) Handy wind
deflector flaps flow a
surprising amount of air
when open.
