2018 Indians are out
« on: July 27, 2017, 07:28:09 AM »

Just received (well a couple days ago) an email announcing the new 2018 Indian line-up.  Looks like a new Roadmaster Elite (It B blue) is there.  They moved the rear speakers from the trunk to the saddlebags (on the Elite anyway).  Makes more sense doing that on a bike that comes standard with a detachable trunk.  Getting in the CVO price range at $37,000.  They finally put the infotainment system on the Chieftain Dark Horse, too.

Looks like more color options for the Chieftain line up.  The Chieftain classic is the only one with the "classic" Indian fender.  The others Chieftains have the new fender introduced last year on the Limited and Elite.  I like the cleaner look but I'm a fan of either one.

I like the color combo on the regular Roadmaster (first picture shown) but it doesn't show as an option in the body of the page....hmmmm

I know there are some here that don't care for the Indians but I like 'em.  I'm not sure I would ever own one as I would have to eliminate all my HD garb (and that would render me naykid since most everything I have says HD on it somewhere.... ;D ). 

If I could purchase a new Indian AND they would throw in $5,000 or so for a new wardrobe, we may have liftoff.... :2vrolijk_21:

Those outer fairing accents. Cannot get past that.  Except from the front view - to me - looks ok.

Some nice features though, and they utilized inner fairing space better than HD has.  Lots of real estate on that inner fairing, HD missed a big opportunity there with Rushmore.

I'm not a big fan of the lowers on the Roadmaster.  They remind me too much of the old Kawasaki Voyager.  However, as one of the sales folks stated, you can remove them which we can't do on the twin-cooled Harleys....good point.

Thanks to you Howard, now I'm gonna have to drive past the Yammy shop and check this out! That blue on black sure is sharp, I like! ... I already got my first tune picked out if I happen to like it enough to ride home ...
 

I love that they finally dropped the fugly tan leather seat!

Wow man ... I wasn't too crazy about these at first, but this is REALLY starting to grow on me. Yammy doesn't have my color this year anyhow ...

Looks pretty nice.  Seems they are offering a variety of front fender choices for 2018.  They have a pearl white and silver metallic Roadmaster I'd like to see in person.

Wow, I like the Roadmaster Elite.  Wonder if the tour pack is quick detach, then add a solo for local riding, tour pack back on for traveling.

Love the color

Take some pictures, Dave.  Or, once you have brought it home (  :2vrolijk_21: ), some pictures of the new acquisition... ;D

It is a nice color combo and actually done by hand at the Indian factory in Spearfish.  I am looking forward to seeing it in person.

 I'd been thinking about trying an Indian I love the classic front fender, and saw they were coming out with the second Limited Jack Daniels Chieftain, So I called a few dealers they all told me they were gone in about ten minutes of there release. So I kinda forgot about it, and we had gone to the Hollister rally in July well they had one there so I asked about it, and was told a guy in Texas had bought it and they were delivering it to him at Sturgis rally.  Well about a week or so later I got a call the guy backed out, long story short I ended up with it # 20 of the 100. it's a fun bike it's just like the Harley's needs the cat cleaned out different baffles, and I'm making them put the classic front fender on it, and a removable tour pak I'm keeping the other fender thats on it now, just in case.
