I had one of those! It was beautiful, too. This one's nice but I do take umbrage with the "Indian" logo on the tank. It's not an Indian, don't call it that.

A buddy has one, he jokes about it being a bit of a barge but he also loves it and won't part with it.

Another guy I know has a Mean Streak. Same engine (I think) in more of a Sportster-like chassis. Thing is fast for what it is.

Apparently they're very reliable.

That's a Drifter 800, basically a tarted-up Vulcan 800 Classic. GREAT bikes!

I always thought the 800 was better looking than the 1500 with the hidden shocks. Especially the early ones with the blacked out vs chrome treatment.
