Two New Models Released by Indian Motorcycles

The North Carolina motorcycle manufacturer revealed two new models at its first official dealership network meeting late last month. Named the the Chief Bomber and the Chief Dark Horse, the models feature a 105 cubic inch PowerPlus V-Twin powertrain with electronic closed loop sequential port fuel injection.

Engine cylinders are Nikasil plated and the stainless stell exhaust system is an integrated 3-way catalytic converter with heated oxygen sensors.

Inspired by WWII aircraft, the Bomber is a limited edition Chief model and will only be available for one year, in Military Green and Silver Smoke finishes with the pin-up girl tank artwork inspired by the Bomber nose art of that era.

Moreover, the leather used on the seat and saddlebags are reminiscent of the feel and color of an old bomber jacket. The Bomber is priced at $30,999.

Moving on to the Dark Horse, this Chief is looking kind of mechanical, in a sinister kind of way. With a smoke “matte” finish, the bike is available in Thunder Black, Indian Red and Deep Water Blue.

The chrome components are highlighted by the bike’s dark components, such as the blacked out headlight, tappet blocks, suspension, engine components, exhaust system and hand controls.

A six-speed Baker transmission delivers power through the belt drive. Stopping is achieved via Brembo 4-piston calipers, with 11.5" dual rotors up front. Standard 5.5-gallon tank helps extend cruising range. Seats are all-leather and built to exacting specifications. The Dark Horse is priced at $27,999.

"We're very excited about the new Indian models which bring a more distinct range to the Chief line," said Chris Bernauer, General Manager. "Releasing new, superior product is a legacy that we are happy to continue."
