Driving experience

Driving experience for the 2022 chieftain dark horse is phenomenal.That's much power in this bike.I rarely use sport mode so that's saying a lot.The bike also feels pretty nimble being an actual bagger.The only maintenance i've had done is it's first oil change, Which i think was reasonable.There are parts accessories that are very affordable that can be found online.But honestly, I have put mostly indian genuine parts on the bike.To sum things up, You will not be disappointed with this bike.It's the price of any other full size bagger so, Don't thing you going to cutting any corners.Only thing is, You get much more for your money in comparison to the competitors.
