Indian Chief Dark Horse
The Indian Chief Dark Horse has carried a real different personality which suits its name in a perfect manner. The cruiser motorcycle was painted in a matt black paint scheme along with a tagline "Not all the things decked in Black are Sinister". The black colored leather seat, fully-covered tyre huggers and 2-in-1 exhaust tail relates this motorcycle to the cruiser section of Indian Motorcycles. The colorful badge of Indian Motorcycles over the fuel tank of the Dark Horse works as pure eye-candy.
