PICS: Move over Harley, Ducati, KTM. The Indian is here!

Iconic brand Indian Motorcycles has launched three stunning bikes from its stables ranging from 26.5 lakh to 33 lakh

Indian Motorcycles is an iconic brand, dating back to 1901. The company seized operations in 1953 but was revived time and again but to no avail.

In 2011, Polaris Industries bought Indian Motorcycles and since then, the company has found its flavour.

Polaris has launched Indian Motorcycles in India, offering three bikes -- Indian Chief Classic, Indian Chief Vintage and Indian Chieftain.

All these three bikes use the same platform, which is a cast aluminium frame, telescopic front forks and rear monoshock. The bikes are powered by a 1811cc, V-twin, Thunder Stroke 111 engine which outputs 139 Nm of torque at 2600 RPM.

The motor is coupled to a 6-speed gearbox. The Indian Chief models come with a 21-litre fuel tank.

The Indian Chief Classic is priced at Rs 26.5 lakh and comes with cruise control, keyless entry, light bar and leather seats. These features are standard on all Indian Chief models and the Chief Classic is the entry level offering from the company. 

The Indian Chief Vintage gets a quick release windshield and quick release saddle bags along with a highway bar and vintage fender badge. It is priced at Rs 29.5 lakh.

The Indian Chieftain is the flagship model, priced at Rs 33 lakh (all prices are ex-showroom, Delhi). 

It gets tyre pressure monitoring system, remote locking hard saddle bags, driving lights, 100 watt stereo system with FM, Bluetooth and smartphone connectivity.

All bikes are fully imported from the USA and currently one dealership is operational (at Gurgaon) and another one will be opened soon (in Bangalore).
