This review was created by Kirk Johnson from Phoenix Bikers for all the motorcycle enthusiasts. I’ll post a review every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of a different motorcycle on this page. If you have any questions or want to request a motorcycle you’d like reviewed, please email me at kirkinphx@gmail.com.
Indian Roadmaster (2026) — from $31,999
Roadmaster is Indian’s full-dress tourer — trunk, fairing, maximum passenger comfort for Southwest distance.
More complete than Chieftain for two-up weeks away. Premium pricing.
Measure storage and garage; it’s a proper dresser.
From a Phoenix garage point of view, that matters: summer heat, monsoon oil slicks, and freeway miles on the 10/17 stack reward honest ergonomics and modern rider aids more than brochure poetry.
Who it’s for: two-up full-dress Indian touring fans
Who should look elsewhere: bagger-only or sport-tour riders
Bottom line: Indian’s max dresser for long American miles
Roadmaster for your next national-park loop?
