Motorcycle Travel Series by @velimir 'Chief Dark Horse 2016' (Part #240)
'Chief Dark Horse 2016'
A few weeks back, when visiting Bojan's workshop, I was writing that Indians are rare motorcycles around here and that it is quite hard to find one. Well, here we go. As if in a fairytale, a beautiful Indian just magically appears today. Serious black style, together with the genuine look make this black stallion a very desirable machine.
A small front light designed like a head of an old and wise American Indian, mounted on the front fender, is a refreshing detail that will surely attract interested looks. It feels like having a spirit riding along and lighting the way. Not a bad idea at all. We can all use some of that Indian magic when the road gets dark.
Just above is a regular light, all closed in a black oval casing and looking quite respectable. This is quite a modern design of front lights and, in my humble opinion, it beats the old open style. But then again, just like everything else, it very much depends on the person. I like the "Cherokee" detail on top.
The wheels' side closures are an old trademark of Indian motorcycles and characteristic fender curve somehow I wouldn't be able to picture them without it.
The same goes for the front wheel, plus the very elegant enclosure for the front brakes.
What I don't like is the lack of rod thickness of the handlebars. The handlebar is also way too low for my taste. If a couple of inches higher and little thicker it would look far better on this, otherwise awesome looking bike.
The short open muffler will guarantee your neighbours' envy and hate when you take your stallion out of the garage for a walk and start it in an early morning, while they're still recovering from the last night's party. Although, I could really see it in black matt finish.
The engine look and power are both outstanding. All in all, nobody would be even close to a mistake if buying this one.
Enjoy your day! :-)

You already know I am a big fan of the Indian marquee both old and new. And I genuinely like the 'dark look' from both Indian and HD.
The light and the valanced fenders are near trademarks. A pretty common design theme. The fenders are a PIA for changing tires, but I really like the look.
Nobody knows this, but I have a vintage Indian sign hanging in my living room. I am a huge fan.
Thanks for a really personal look at a wonderful motorcycle.
Yes I know :)
Fascinating machines...
Woo Ha! Hooray! Thunder is on the road again!
:)
Cheers for the blog - you make my day, everyday :)
Adrian,
That low handlebar is probably the bike's trademark if it were thicker and higher wouldn't it be your usual american bike? It would seem much like an Harley then. It's a beautiful bike i loved it.
True that. But, personally, I somehow find them not fitting the overall look and feel...
Maybe they did something like that to attract people to talk about those designs and here we are talking about the brand and advertising it for free :)
Indian bikes are always something that will captivate anyone’s attention.
I really like the Indian face , like you said , gives it its own soul!
Damn beautiful bike!
I can't find enough words to describe the motorcycle,its that amazing.You really have impeccable taste to be able to notice such a beauty and your pics are always on point,wow.
AHA: D Indian head design is good :)
I believe that motorcycles are a soul :) I like sharing
I dont know about others but as a non-mechanic, i thought you mean't a literal person who was Indian but thankfully due to the pictures i later understood you've actually meant the ride :)
Btw awesome ride - love the indian figure on the 2nd picture
