Description:
Indian Chief Vintage.
There were two failed attempts since 1999, by smaller companies, to produce "new age" Indian Chiefs that were essentially overpriced novelty items built from modified, off-the-shelf Harley components.
I want to thank Polaris Industries for pooling their resources, and knowledge gained with their Victory brand, to produce a true spiritual successor to the big Indians of old. |

I also think it's fantastic that Polaris isn't really overcharging for these, either. The two failed attempts I referred to, they were asking $30,000+ for their Chiefs...
The Polaris-engineered/built Indian Chiefs? They start at ~$17,000. Granted, a fully decked-out Indian Chief Roadmaster will approach $30,000, but that is one HELLUVA loaded bike. The Vintage like this one? $21,000.
I will say, though, the touring fairing that they designed for the Chieftan and Roadmaster isn't exactly my cup of tea... http://www.hdforums.com/wp-content/...ianChieftan.jpg

I don't care much for the body skirting beneath the seat. I can't shake the feeling that that area should be more open.

#4, Same here, though given the choice I'm probably save a third of the money and get the Indian Scout.

#7, Very nice-looking bike.
I tried customizing a few on the site, but I think my favorite is the cheapest gloss black Scout, with no options (except maybe straight-cut pipes).

#7, Well, now they've introduced the "Springfield", which is a Vintage, but with the Chieftan/Roadmaster hardbags... still doesn't have the nicer tank graphics, whitewalls, or blacked-out engine.
#8, They now have an even CHEAPER Scout available, with less chrome, smaller bore engine, vinyl seat rather than leather, and one fewer gear in the transmission (in the middle range... low gear and top gear are unaffected.)

#12, Feh. I still like the cheap Scouts best out of their new line up, though admittedly the Chief Classic looks pretty good in red and black.

#14, It actually looks a lot like the Scout, except with a bit more of a modern style. I don't like it as much as the Scout, aesthetically, though it's hard to argue with the specs and price.

The standard Scout in metallic jade would be my pick of the litter, even without price as a factor.
Just add in some chrome laced wheels, a few chrome accessories (mainly the headlight bucket and some frame inserts/engine accessories), a black solo seat, and a Stage 1 exhaust with chrome end caps. Maybe $14,000 worth of bike, and I'd take it over any of their other models.
