Motorcycle specifications Indian1720 CHIEF DARK HORSE 2010 The shadow of the riders


presentation of the 1720 CHIEF DARK HORSE 2010
huge, majestic, striking, the Indian Chief is a custom that stands out. This model marks the return of one of the most emblematic motorcycle brands, and in a very luxurious way. These hand-built Indians are worth their weight in gold, and are aimed at true enthusiasts. The Dark Horse version plays on the 'sombritude' and surly mood of evening jackets. A motorcycle for those with their heart in the tarmac; in fact, the monumental V-twin reflects this spirit. On the Dark Horse, it's painted black, but allows chrome to invade the rocker arms, cylinder head covers and some of the crankcases. And what metallic power, what aplomb, what splendor! This engine is both enormous and magnificent. Like any custom twin, its performance is ridiculous, but its strength lies elsewhere: in its looks, in its torque, in its character, and perhaps more here than anywhere else, in its history.
singular with its long skirts (the Indian identity), the Chief Dark Horse relies on more than just its 1720 cm3 twin to seduce. Its stature, its leather saddle adorned with bangs, its matte black finish running here and there, its intimidating front end... A temptation not to be estimated by conventional criteria. The Dark Horse is a solitary pleasure, whose entry ticket joins Harley's CVO club.
