Indian Motorcycles 2016 models were announced last week by the American manufacturer. Similar to rivals Victory, Indian Motorcycles’ 2016  model updates go only as far as cosmetics and new colours. However, all models in the range can be now equipped with EU certified accessory Remus exhaust pipes.

2016 Chief
Riders can now opt for the Chief Classic (cruiser) with its classic looks, much cleaner now following some re-work carried out for 2016: solo vinyl seat, black switches, single headlight and cast aluminium wheels. It now also only comes in one colour; Pearl White.

Next there’s the Chief Vintage (bagger) with its beautiful fringed leather saddlebags and seats, and quick-release windshield (all as standard) making this the option for those who plan to ride on extended road trips. Four colours are available with one of these being new for 2016.

The Chieftain (bagger) has a large fairing with a power-adjustable windscreen (to offer superb cruising comfort), genuine leather seats and hard saddlebags with remote central-locking. It’s available in four colours in 2016 with two of these new.

Finally there’s the Chief Dark Horse, which is matte black from end-to-end with only a few flashes of chrome (accessories are available to fully blacked it out).

Last weekend was the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, for all of you who don’t know, its one of the biggest bike gathering in the world.
It started back in 1938 with mostly Harley owners but over the years especially now, there have been a good mixes of bikes at the event.

Its only fitting that Indian Motorcycles decided to reveal their latest bike, the 2015 Indian Scout at Sturgis. Apparently this is the first `to carry that name in 70 years.

The bike company had managed to retain much of the original looks but also modernise the machine for better performance and reliability.
The main challenge was to the rear shockers as they were set at a shallow angle in order to follow the sleek frame profile. A lot hours were put into it to make it work.

Power comes from a liquid-cooled 69-cubic-inch (1130.7cc) V-twin which they claim produces 100hp and 72lb-ft of torque at 5000rpm. Modern touches comes with a closed-loop fuel injection system and a ride-by-wire-throttle.

The seat is set at 25.3inch off the ground and the cast aluminium keeps things “light” at 253kg when wet.

First unit is going to roll out at the end of this year with four colours Thunder Black, Indian Motorcycle Red, Silver Smoke and Thunder Black Smoke. The target price is USD10,999 which is about USD8,000 than the bigger Chief.
