Indian Motorcycles to Introduce Chief Roadmaster Coming Year

The iconic American cruiser motorcycle manufacturer, Indian Motorcycles, is planning to introduce a new member in the cruiser family. The new member will be baptized as Chief Roadmaster, and it will be the fourth motorcycle unveiled by the company which is based on the Classic Indian cruiser model from the year 1947.

The 1947 Roadmaster comes under touring motorcycle series, and was once the legendary motorcycle from the company providing comfortable rides along with saddlebags and windscreen. The upcoming Roadmaster will be expected to follow the same success steps, which was marked by the older one. The cruiser motorcycle will be coming in the United States by the coming year, 2015.

Talking about the upcoming one, the new cruiser motorcycle will be expected to receive the same Thunder-Stroke 111 air-cooled, V-Twin engine, which gives an engine displacement of 1811cc. The engine is coupled with 6-speed overdrive transmission and capable to generate a maximum torque of 139Nm. In terms of style and looking, the cruiser motorcycle will be featuring standard chrome on forks, front and rear highway bars, trunk race and fender trips. However, the upcoming cruiser motorcycle will also be equipped with saddlebags unlike the Chief Vintage and Chieftain. The new 2015 Indian Roadmaster will be available along with a price tag of $26,999.

Steve Menneto, VP of Polaris Motorcycles, said, "It has truly been a privilege and an honor for our team to be a part of motorcycling history in designing and reintroducing the Roadmaster, which has such a legendary reputation as the king of luxury touring bikes, the quality, craftsmanship, performance and standard feature set on this bike is simply unmatched in the luxury touring segment, and we look forward to sharing the 2015 Roadmaster and other exciting announcements with the global motorcycling community beginning August 2nd in Sturgis."

The 2015 Chief Roadmaster will be making its first public debut during the 74th Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, which will be going to held in Sturgis, South Dakota, USA from 2nd to 9th August, 2014. And, according to the company the motorcycle will also be available for demo rides as well along with the other line-up models for 2015.
