One year warranty, four additional years extended warranty.ĭoes the engine put off heat? Yes. Generally, I'm getting about 35-37 mpg in the city, and 44-47 mpg on the highway.

I also got the accessory headed grips for the passenger. And you can set the levels for High/Medium/Low heat in the infotainment system. This is also my first bike with heated seats and grips. It's easier to list what doesn't come with the bike than what does come with the bike, which is saying something. I haven't use the CB yet (I have along trip coming up), but I've taken in most of the other audio options. I have the Transcontinental model, so features are vast. The cubbies elsewhere are nice but I haven't found a use for them yet (yet) outside of holding and charging my phone. What I normally carry fits well in the saddlebags, leaving the trunk to stash my helmet and jacket when I stop. This is my first tour trunk, I've been kicking myself for not investing in one sooner. The transmission shifts easily (though I find myself occasionally over-shifting neutral). I'm not a expert (this is only my third bike), but I haven't found myself wanting for power. Now that I can rev the engine beyond 2600, I've been able to get a better idea of the engine's capabilities. Despite its bulk, it is a well-engineered machine. The passenger seat is equally comfortable, and I find myself debating on whether I really need highway pegs (I'm 5' 9" in boots). Indeed, my son, having eaten good BBQ before a leg of a ride as dozed off on the back more than once (he's ok, no worries). At low speed it feels like a much lighter bike. Now that I've put 2000 miles on the bike, I'm comfortable saying I am more confident riding this bike than my Victory Cross Roads, which surprised me given the 200-pound difference in weight. When I returned to the dealership, I bought the bike. It accelerated far more effortlessly than I imagined and it turned and handled very well. It just didn't feel like a 963-pound bike, even at low speed. I was so nervous I was going to drop the thing, but I didn't. It was another week and a half before I returned, having done due diligence on finances and whatnot. Told the guy I was still seriously considering it, and left. A week later I brought my teenage son in try out the passenger seat. I let the guy "tell me all about it" (not mentioning the research I had already done), told him I was considering it, and left. I made the mistake of sitting on it and letting the sales guy hold it so I could check my sitting clearance for my legs. It was then I saw on on the showroom floor at the same dealer where I bought my Victory. So I did my research, read the reviews, kept up with things in the news and bid my time until my daughter finished school. My biggest concern going in was the weight 963 pounds is nothing to sneeze at. I wasn't yet in a position to be able to afford it, and I didn't want my fan-boy feeling to cause me to overlook flaws that may give me reason not to buy one. I was hooked, so I had to force myself to curb my enthusiasm. My first reaction was, "Yeah, like that!" on the styling. I still remember the first time I saw the new Star Venture. I'm a bit of a geek (as some might have noticed), and while the traditional styling of the Indians is nice, it just wasn't really my mug of coffee. I had mentally settled on the Indian Roadmaster, as I wanted a v-twin touring bike, but I wasn't completely thrilled with the option. I was still feeling the effects of the Victory closure announcement (I had a 2011 Victory Cross Roads), and since that time I had been window shopping for my next bike. I'd had my eye on this bike since it was announced back in the June timeframe last year.
