    First new bike....ever

    Hi gents, I jsut picked up my first new bike ever. This does not mean I will be selling any of my GS's but I was looking for a little more comfort on my next long trip. My wife and I are planning on a ride around lake superior. This bike came stock with seat and hand warmers, electriconic cruise control and an electric windshield. The first owner even put the stage 1 kit on it with nicer exhaust and a nice aircleaner. I don't have to do anything to this bike but ride it. Which is a strange situation for me. All my other bikes have required a winters worth of work to get them running. Its a 2016 Indian Roadmaster. The PO traded it in for another 2016 with nav but I use my phone so I don't need nav.

            Nice bike! If I were hunting to add a new bike to my garage, Indian would be on the list.

                  You got the MN motorcycle instead of the WI machine..... Have a couple buddies riding Polaris. One Indian and one Victory. They both love them.

                          I can understand the confusion so let me be more clear. It was purchased late in the summer and rode 2000 miles. Indian then came out with the Roadmaster with Nav, an option either not avaliable at the time or the dealer didnt have any in stock. When they got them in i assume he traded my bike in and got what he wanted. If you ask me a 2000 mile bike is not even broke in and still new.
