Indian Chief Classic (2011 – 2012)

Indian Chief Classic (2011 - 2012)

The Indian Chief Classic embodies the spirit of the open road, its sleek lines and classic design paying homage to the iconic motorcycles of yesteryear. Powered by the potent 105 cubic inch PowerPlus V-Twin engine, this machine exudes a deep, throaty growl that’s as much a part of its character as its aggressive styling.

The engine’s Nikasil-plated cylinders and electronic closed-loop sequential port fuel injection system deliver a smooth, responsive power delivery that’s perfect for both boulevard cruisers and highway warriors. And with the six-speed Baker transmission delivering power through a smooth-shifting belt drive, the Chief Classic is as comfortable at a standstill as it is at 70mph.

The result is a riding experience that’s nothing short of exhilarating, with the perfect blend of raw power and smooth, effortless acceleration. And with its array of premium features, including all-leather seating, chromed spoke wheels, and a Brembo brake system, the Indian Chief Classic is a true masterpiece of motorcycle design that promises an unforgettable riding experience.
