I used to never even consider a reverse gear to be necessary, based on my ability to think ahead with regard to parking, and my youthful strength.
I'm 66 now, I don't think ahead as well, and my youthful strength is a beautiful thing of the past.
If my conjecture that touring bikes are marketed towards the more "mature" age group is correct, why hasn't Indian, along with everyone except Harley, introduced an electrically-driven reverse gear to alleviate the anxiety and facilitate the ability of older riders to navigate tricky parking situations?
I've been riding on 2 wheels since I was 2, so it's not like I'm a clumsy newbie, I'm just old (never thought I'd get here)!
Does anyone know if a reverse gear is in Indian's future for the heavier touring models?
Thanks!
