Motorcycle specifications Indian 1720 CHIEF BOMBER 2010 Pappy Boyington's bike
presentation of the 1720 CHIEF BOMBER 2010
only available in 2010, the BOMBER limited series is an Indian 1700 Chief with a twist: it's inspired by the American air force of the Second World War. If Top Gun pilots take to the ground with sporty Kawasakis, it's easy to imagine an airborne buccaneer stepping down from his P-51 Mustang to continue his adventure with this U.S. Army-scented custom. Whether you choose the gray or the khaki color, you're immediately in the military spirit. The riveting on the mudguards, the pin-up painted on the tank, the little bomb at the bottom of the front skirt... there are plenty of little anecdotes about the bike, typically American and borderline pappy Boyington. Specially designed for this special edition, the saddlebags - like the seat - are in genuine leather. Chrome is even more prominent, with black paint applied to most parts of the engine, exhaust, fork, headlight cover, handlebars, some covers and other parts of the bodywork. The breathtaking 1720 cm3 twin engine is the main driving force behind this big cruiser.
