5 Of The Most Underrated Indian Motorcycles Ever Made – SlashGear

The Indian Challenger Limited is a quality touring motorcycle that entered the market as a direct competitor to the Harley-Davidson Road Glide. For this reason, it sits within a niche component of the overall motorcycle marketplace. Yet, with such stiff competition from the likes of Harley-Davidson, one of the most prominent names in motor vehicles on the whole, the Challenger Limited can easily shuffle into the background of motorcyclists’ attention. Even so, the bike brings considerable style elements and integrated features to the fore. Not only does the Challenger Limited offer a large forward fairing and windshield section to keep your long-distance rides comfortable and enjoyable, but there’s also ample storage space in the rear side compartments and a comfortable seating and pillion layout to enhance the overall experience of touring even further.

In 2020 models, the Road Glide and Challenger Limited each come in at roughly the same price, but the Challenger Limited weighs a bit less and is powered by a slightly smaller engine. The Challenger Limited is a worthy competitor in the field of touring models, but with the prominence of Indian waxing and waning throughout the years alongside the brand’s financial performance, it’s easy to see why a shining example like this might be overshadowed by name recognition alone. Even so, the 1,768cc, liquid-cooled PowerPlus engine produces 122 horsepower and 128 ft.-lbs. of torque, making this a firm favorite among riders who are in on the ‘secret.’
