2010 Indian Chief Roadmaster First Ride - Indian Cruiser Motorcycle Review - Motorcycle USA
The bloodline is there. The front fender sweeps forward like a cresting wave, its lines established long ago in classics like the 1948 Indian Chief. The chief’s head is there, perched in its place on top of the heavily valanced front fender, eyes pointed toward the road ahead. The twin cylinders sit cradled in a steel A-frame beneath a tapered tank, the Indian logo still scripted across the tank’s side. The leather seat is wide, comfy and inviting, ready for the long haul, but luckily it isn’t the sprung seat of old. Suspension duties have been graciously removed from the saddle and delegated to a single rear shock. After all, Indian Motorcycles set out to capture the iconic image in the new bikes, not the antiquated ride. The deep-skirted rear fender rolls behind like the next wave in a set, maintains the bikes smooth, flowing balance. Distressed brown leather saddlebags contribute to the bike’s vintage appeal. Yes indeed, the Indian Motorcycle’s bloodline is obvious.
