New to the Indian Motorcycle range for 2018 are the Scout Bobber, Roadmaster Elite and Springfield Dark Horse, plus an expanded Chieftain Limited Range.
“For this new model year Indian Motorcycle has raised the bar with our Scout Bobber, combining stripped back bobber styling with modern dynamics- old school meets new school.
“Whether you want a motorcycle for long tours with a comfortable seat for a passenger or something stylish for the weekends, Indian now has at least one model in the line-up that will appeal.”
Harvey, for Indian Motorcycle adds: “The Roadmaster Elite and Springfield Dark Horse are two fantastic motorcycles, with two different attitudes. The Roadmaster Elite packs all the bells and whistles perfect for riders looking for the best of the best, while the Dark Horse brings blacked-out style to the Springfield line.
“Beyond these offerings, we have elevated each and every model – listening to our consumers to bring new features and colors they have asked for.”
“Our Chieftain Limited features industry leading Ride Command, a contrast cut 19″ front wheel and now is available in 5 colours which will no doubt add more to the already exceptional growth we are having in the bagger/ tourer segments.”
