STYLING
The first thing that will surely strike your mind is that this cruiser is huge and if you love getting attention of everyone then perhaps this is the ultimate attention magnet. The Cruiser is seriously huge and measures about 2571mm in length and those who prefer chrome in their cruisers then perhaps this is their Chrome mine.
The Chief Classic styling has been inspired from the original Chief motorcycle that dominated the streets in the 1940’s. The retro theme is maintained throughout the motorcycle, take a look at its front and you will surely be impressed by the swooping valenced fenders which has been a standard part of the motorcycle since 1940, the huge fenders are not only meant for styling they also provides safety by blocking the gravels and other materials kicked up by the tyres, the front fender also has the iconic War Bonnet mounted on it which also has been a part of this motorcycle since 1947. Even the brake calipers are also covered to give the brakes a clean finish, the tyres has been painted in white which itself raises the standard of this cruiser quite high and adds an overall premium finish to the motorcycle.
The huge chromed headlamp cluster looks solid and gives you a sense that this is one serious cruiser which is meant for tough people. The instrument console is mounted on the tank which consists of an analog speedometer which is quite clearly visible both under the sun and even in the dark, the instrument console also has a digital display which informs the rider everything about the cruiser including the fuel data.
The saddle itself is quite comfortable and seats quite low which is a huge advantage for all the riders. The huge chromed out engine bolted to the chassis will surely attract everyone’s attention. The Indian Chief Classic is powered by a new Thunder Stroke 111 V twin engine about which we will talk about a little later, at the rear of the motorcycle the curvy fender itself with a slight hint of chrome itself is a piece of art and take this for granted that you won’t find any other motorcycle on this planet which has a such an attractive looking rear fender.
If you are a Cadillac fan then perhaps you will fall in love with this cruiser. This premium motorcycle has been built with extreme care and caution and there is absolutely nothing wrong with its styling.
