I believe he went with the Honda, mainly due to cost.

I rode the Chieftain and own the F6B...can make an argument for either one...I think the F6 has a few more pros than the Chieftain, mainly due to the engine and overall reliability.

However, keyless start, Bluetooth, storage, ABS and the ride quality on the Indian is superior to my Honda...just my opinion. Man, that flat-6 sure does weigh heavily on the pro-con scale to balance several features that the Indian trumps the Honda on.
