2016 Indian Chief Classic Preview

Indian Motorcyclesannounced its New 2016 Indian Chief Classic with color choices and accessory options. The Indian chief classic has a starting MSRP of $17,999

It’s abundant power. Restless innovation. And unmistakable style. The stripped-down essence of this iconic marque can be captured in a single word: classic. The Chief Classic, powered by the Thunder Stroke 111 engine, is our most awarded bike, unquestionably worthy of the high praise it has earned. We know that it takes a classic soul to leave a legendary trail.

The Chief Classic comes with Anti-Lock Brakes, electronic cruise control and standard chrome that is an upcharge on the competitor’s machines. Deep and bright chrome mixed with the new pearl white color make for an unmistakably striking impression. New for 2016 is the cast black wheels that reduce unsprung weight and increase on-road compliance.

Additional chrome accessories and accents including ape hanger bars and a variety of windscreens and accessory engine covers let each rider customize their Chief.
