#327: 2018 Indian Roadmaster Elite - Coolness Factor = 42.4%

[Gummiente]

Ok, let's see here... V-Twin type touring bike, check. Disparaging comments by the usual suspects, check. Yep, looks like another normal week in store for the TMW Cool Wall.

Gee Boss... don't make us blush

No offense intended, was just sayin'.

The passenger area looks excellent. Here is a video I came across.

OMG, the comments are funny this week! Quite a few times I had to snort laugh.

I wasn't too sure on this one, so I went with the "it's a little too pimpin' for me" and voted uncool. Ok, maybe there really isn't anything TOO pimpin' but 23k gold leaf paint and a price to match a luxury car? Wow. Does it come with Car hydraulics to make it jump? (oh, I think I just created a new marketing opportunity for Indian!)



I have to agree, it is odd it only comes in one colour. and it is an odd blueish purple. Not bad, but at $44k, I'd like a few colour choices please.

And why is it 23k and not 24k? I've never heard of 23k. 22k, sure, but 23k? Was there a discount on 23k? Maybe the 24k was defective? I can see it now "Oh, so you didn't get the 24k option?", "Cheaped out on the 23k gold eh?".. lol.

Lux-o-barge.

Remember when the GL1500 came out we thought it was a Winnebago on wheels? Well, this is crazy.

Sorry, uncool. But cool if you are into this sort of thing.

= a Coolwall Factor of 42.4%

Total Motorcycle's Take-a-way: Unique, comfy, stylish and horrendously expensive. Overall 42% Cool. Ouch. Shockingly the new 2018 Indian Roadmaster Elite finishes less than Cool than a 1/11th the cost ($3300) CCW. Ouch. I'm not sure Polaris is going to be celebrating this "Victory" anytime soon.

Best comments of the week: "Lazy Boy Recliner on wheels"; " But I'm still gonna laugh behind my hand while I pass you on the left. You probably wont notice over the Steeley Dan blaring on the 300 watt sound system though" , "I like the idea of buying 11 other rides instead of this one. That way you could at least rent them out and make a decent income.", "Disparaging comments by the usual suspects, check. Yep, looks like another normal week in store for the TMW Cool Wall".
