Australian Road Rider — Bike Guide 2017

Australian Road Rider Bike Guide 61

Cruisers

With a modern, lightweight chassis, lower centre of gravity and a liquid-cooled 100hp V-twin, it’s

time to take control on the legendary Indian Scout.

Want to experience the purest expression of an Indian motorcycle? Then look no further than the

iconic Chief Classic. It features abundant power, timeless style, restless innovation and, at its heart,

the legendary Thunderstroke V-Twin.

With its matte-black fi nish and blacked-out details, there’s no ignoring the Chief Dark Horse. Every

square inch was designed to not just make a statement, but to make a permanent mark. And thanks

to its distinctive engine, all it takes to announce your arrival is a twist of the throttle.

Embrace the past without getting stuck in it. The Chief Vintage may look like it’s from times gone

by, but everything about it is for the future. Behind the vintage facade lies a modern motorcycle with

keyless ignition, cruise control and a quick-release windscreen for cruising around town.
