2025 Indian Chieftain PowerPlus Review | Rider Magazine

3 weeks ago | ridermagazine.com | Kevin Duke

Indian’s liquid-cooled and overhead-cammed engine in its Challenger changed the game among American V-Twin baggers when it was introduced in 2020. The 108ci Indian Chieftain PowerPlus motor cranked out more ponies than the air-cooled Milwaukee-Eights from Harley-Davidson. The Challenger was aptly named, as it was intended to confront the venerable Harley Road Glide for supremacy in the battle of American baggers with frame-mounted fairings.

1 month ago | ridermagazine.com | Kevin Duke

If you were riding a motorcycle on the roads near the southern edge of Portugal, you’d feel lucky to be on the new 2025 Triumph Tiger Sport 800. Its balance of agility, comfort, technology, and performance are exceptional. Essentially, it’s a Tiger Sport 660 with Street Triple 765 performance, resulting in a machine I dubbed “the practical hooligan” after riding it around the wonderful roads of Portugal.

Daytona Bike Week is the unofficial kickoff to a new riding season, so we had boots on the ground from opening day (Feb.
