I stopped by my Indian dealership on Monday to finish some business with my salesman and while there, I stopped to set on the Chief Classic and the Chieftain. I find myself doing that every time I stop at the Murfreesboro dealership. While my salesman was busy handling another matter for me, another salesman stepped up to see what I thought of the bikes. I told him my wife and I had ordered Scouts, but I really like the some of the features of both "big" Indians, but really didn't like wire wheels and tubed whitewalls on the Classic. However, I liked the reduced rake, aluminum wheels and tubeless blackwalls on the Chieftain and don't need/want the fairing, radio and complexity. I told him the perfect configuration would resemble a Road King...The Chieftain chassis, Vintage windshield, engine guard, and hard cases. He surprised me when he said that others have asked for the same thing. So, I wonder if others here would find that an Indian designed to compete with the Road King is how Indian should expand the line?
I hope Indian reads this forum and considers offering this type of bike.
