Indian Chief Vintage, 2012

Review
Based on the 1948 Chief, the 2012 Indian Chief Vintage's two-tone paint schemes, chrome Indian tank badge, and fender light take you back to the era where the Indian Chief ruled the highway.

Distressed tan leather with fringe covers the solo seat and saddlebags to give the Chief Vintage a distinctive nostalgic look.
60-spoke chrome wheels with classic whitewall tires complete the vintage appearance.
Colors: Willow Green & Ivory Cream, Arizona, Turquoise & Winter White, Indian Red & Ivory, Cream, Indian Red, Thunder Black.

Accessories
The high quality of Indian Motorcycles is complemented by an extensive offering of factory accessories to individualize the three models offered for 2012. Deep and rich chromed accessories are contrasted with distressed leather seats and saddlebags to
provide just the right look that is uniquely Indian.

NEW BEGINNINGS FOR 2012
With the purchase of Indian Motorcycle by Polaris Industries in April 2011, America’s First Motorcycle will benefit from one of the world’s leading engineering companies. For the first model year under this new stewardship, the inaugural motorcycles will be numbered to 110 – signifying the years since the Indian Motorcycle brand was born. These numbered motorcycles will be highly collectable with badges and certificates authenticating the historical significance of the first production run of bikes under Polaris ownership.
