Indian Motocycle reviews

I love the power of this machine. No matter the gear I'm in, it always has a very smooth acceleration feel to it. The gear shifts are precise and I've never missed a gear. Tires are close to needing replacing, willing to work with overall price to help. Other than minor nicks and chips, the bike is in very good condition. Show less

This bike, this work of mechanical art, a bike that's almost organic in the absolute love that you'll come to have for it. I actually named it Shangri La, from a Led Zepelin lyric. I live in SW Pennsylvania; Shangri La. has provided me with many adventures in the mountains. I even took a trip or two to Flight 93 Memorial and Gettysburg. The longest ride that I took her on was to Bowling Green, Ky. The ride there was unbelievably comfortable. My route is usually going from Cincinatti to Louisville, on down to Bowling Green. That one time, I decided to go through Lexington, Ky. for some sightseeing. This took me a good way out of the way, by the time I turned my forks back towards my true destination, the sun was beginning to get low. Shangri La gave me enough power with her 111 Thunderstroke engine, that I reached my destination before dark. All through my trip, any trip actually, I get tons of compliments on her. Many people think it's an antique bike, due to the new corporate owners of the Indian Name, Polaris, modeling the Indian Vintage from the 1948 year, just with 21st century technology. I am selling her with a tremendous amount of sadness and reluctance due to my second bike wreck where I went down hard. I'm 65 years old now and beginning to feel my mortality. Shangri La, because she in being my dream bike of all time, btw the bike I went down on was a Sportster 1200. Any who, I did annual preventative maintenance on her, she has been garage kept. This bike will give you a status of at least one cut above. I can't really add much more, except to say I love her, and you will to. The only wear that you will see, is understandably the seat, from me riding her. I would include a statement of being negotiable, but the asking price is already what Cycle Trader states as typical asking price. If I were to negotiate, and that is a big if, I may consider some but remember, you are getting a very good deal... Show less

This was my first motorcycle. It is beautiful. I loved every minute of it. After a while the seat becomes uncomfortable, yet everything else about this bike is perfect. I wish I didn't have to sell it but life is spontaneous. I highly recommend this bike to anyone who wants to enter the riding community. Show less

This motorcycle was fantastic. It cheeked all the boxes; fast, sporty, easy to handle, comfortable to ride, and performed amazingly. It surpassed all expectations and the overall performance was incredible. I highly recommend this bike. Show less

Purchased new in 2000. Original owner. This 2000 Indian Chief motorcycle in cream and black is a stunning and classic bike with a retro design. It featured a timeless color scheme of cream and black, giving it a vintage and sophisticated look. The cream-colored bodywork was complemented by black accents and detailing, creating a striking contrast. The chrome finishes added to the bike's luxurious appeal, while the classic Indian Chief logo on the fuel tank added a touch of heritage and tradition. Riding on wide white-wall tires, this Indian Chief exuded elegance and style on the road. The powerful engine, comfortable seating, and smooth handling made it a pleasure to ride, whether cruising through city streets or hitting the open highway. Overall, this 2000 Indian Chief motorcycle in cream and black was a beautiful and iconic machine that captured the essence of classic American motorcycle design. Show less

This is a fantastic and agile what I would call lightning in a bottle cycle. It’s great for around town and short distances and further hard-core fan state trips. Never had any issues with it mechanically or otherwise and I’d highly recommend checking it out. Show less

Road a Dark Horse in Dark Blue. 3 levels of power. Standard worked great must of the time. For spirited riding, switching to sport mode really perked up the bike quite a bit. Standard mode was best for fuel milage. Sport mode a little twitchy unless you get a tune. Rain mode works well on gravel as well as in wet conditions. Show less

Written on April 18,2023 I have a 2014 Indian Chieftain that I bought from a dealer and thought I bought a good motorcycle, boy was IWRONG!! At 40,000 miles the engine had internal failure which caused loss of compression. The shop I carried it to is where I bought it from used. As engine was torn down a terrible smell came out as well as the entire shop said they had never seen anything like this before. After sending tithe initial report to Indian, additional information was requested by Indian. Indian claims NO responsibility for failure. This was supposed to be a retirement enjoyment after 36 years in the army. Indian customer service will not give information so I can take complaint higher. Show less
