2014 Indian Chief Classic Motorcycle Photos/Wallpaper/Images/Specs
Following a reported $100 million spent on R&D, and over 2 million miles of testing both on road and in the lab, the new Indian Chief models were unveiled at Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
The new Chief will be available in three models – the Chieftain, the Chief Vintage, and the one that most follows the rich heritage of the Indian Motorcycle company that began in 1901 – the Chief Classic.
The 2014 Indian Chief Classic dons all the legendary style of the original Chief, including valanced fenders, rich genuine leather saddle, classic tank-mounted instrumentation, tear-drop fuel tank design, and sculpted and lighted front fender war bonnet.
But though classic in design, the Chief, along with all the others in the 2014 lineup, features Indian’s new Thunder Stroke 111 49-degree V-Twin, which produces a reported 119 ft/lbs of torque. Handling all this power is a cast-aluminum frame with integrated air intake.
The new air-cooled engine is hooked to a 6-speed transmission, and features true-dual exhaust. Modern electronics also highlight the Chief Classic, including ABS, cruise control, throttle-by-wire and keyless ignition.
And to further add to the iconic styling of the 2014 Chief Classic, Indian Motorcycle has hatted loads of chrome, high-quality chrome laced spoke wheels, and brake caliper covers.
Indian Motorcycle, which plans to have up to 150 American dealers by year’s end, will offer demo rides at dealers starting in late August. Indian expects the new Chief to arrive in dealerships in September. The Chief Classic carries an MSRP of $18,999.
