Indian ChiefVintage (2016 - 2017)

The Indian Chief Vintage is a masterclass in nostalgic design and engineering prowess. Its Thunder Stroke 111 engine unleashes a staggering 119 ft-lbs of torque, delivering a rich, rumbling exhaust note that’s equal parts raw power and refined sophistication.

Its styling is a loving tribute to Indian Motorcycle’s storied past, with an emphasis on classic lines, elegant chrome accents, and attention to detail that’s simply exquisite. From the comfortable desert tan leather seat and saddlebags to the iconic War Bonnet proudly mounted atop the front fender, every aspect of this bike exudes a sense of timeless, blue-collar American grit.

Whether you’re cruising the open highway or carving up twisty back roads, the Indian Chief Vintage is a thrilling ride that’s as much about the experience as it is about the destination.
