presentation of the 1811 ROADMASTER 2017

For 2017, the Roadmaster's dashboard has undergone a major overhaul. The delicately shaped, classic handset gives way to an imposing 7-inch screen, the touch-sensitive interface of'Ride Command'. This top-of-the-range unit controls a whole range of multimedia functions. There's something for everyone. GPS navigation, audio system, telephone functions, vehicle information, Bluetooth - all the details of 'Ride Command' are detailed here ->.

Indian is now synonymous with luxury and prestige in the custom world. Since Victory took over, the brand has posted impressive sales figures for its sculpted, tempting and imposing Premium models. Now that the renaissance has gained momentum, Indian needed to complete its range with a grand touring model. And since the Chieftain already possessed the genetics for this type of excursion, Spirit Lake used it as the basis for developing and offering the 1800 Roadmaster. 60 years on, the name is back to take over the road.

the original Roadmaster exercised its power between 1947 and 1953. Today, the proportions have all increased - and not just a little. Of course, the motorization remains faithful to the V-twin. The ancestor cubed 1212 cm3, an impressive figure for its time. Its 21st-century descendants claim 1811 cm3. It doesn't matter that the engine's bourrinsque performance is worthy of a diesel boat... The Thunderstroke 111 is an audacious detail or a priesthood! An expression brimming with metal, anxious to put all its torque from steel to road. And it takes muscle to lift 400 kilos of history, travel and pleasure. Since the Chieftain, the level of American luxury has gone up a notch, to compete with the segment icon: the Electra Limited.

it wants to go far, for a long time, so it equips itself to carry more luggage. The Chieftain 's suitcases are joined by a majestic leather-upholstered top-case. A very upmarket seat for the passenger, truly pampered on the Roadmaster. The luggage compartments can be locked remotely, and the total load capacity on board this Tourer is 143 liters - almost as much as a Honda Goldwing and 12 less than a Victory Cross Country Tour, the freight champion.
Comfort really comes into its own on this American liner. Feeling cold? The leather saddle (superb) is heated, with individual rider/passenger heat settings, as are the grips, with 10 levels of adjustment. Too hot? You can adjust the air intake in the lower fairings. Misplaced panels? The passenger footrests are adjustable. Should I conclude by saying that the windscreen is electric?

No, because the Indian comes with other refinements, such as a tire pressure monitoring system, keyless entry, Bluetooth, and more.bluetooth, three 12V sockets, LED lighting, ABS, cruise control, and chrome, lots of chrome, everywhere. The Roadmaster is heavily clad in original chrome, including the forks, trunk rails, front and rear Highway Bars, fender tips, and many other trims.

with the Roadmaster, Indian gains a foothold in an ultra-selective segment. Featuring comfortable visual power, a fat, buffalo-cut engine, a plethora of equipment and a historic name, this long-distance cruiser is sure to satisfy lovers of fine American machines.

French Danigold Model 2019
Owner of a 2019 Roadmaster Elite. 2 complaints and nothing else: a 22 / 23-liter fuel tank would be welcome (I believe this has been corrected in subsequent versions). Despite this, a 130 on the freeway with 2 people and loaded as could not be more with 45 kg of luggage allows you to drive 370 km before entering reserve, so 3 hours without interruption in absolute comfort for 2. Second and final shortcoming: you really have to lie down to find the rear tire inflation nozzle, but the suitcases are so big! All the latest electronics are on board, including a 600-watt audio system with 6 speed-controlled speakers, a real rolling liner. 40,000 km on the odometer and after 5 years, no problems (just the 2 tires and the battery!) WHAT ELSE? HAPPINESS, I TELL YOU... Daniel G. Rating : 4/5

excellent GT tourer -
surprisingly easy to handle, except perhaps when stationary - a great way to cross the Pyrenees together!
two-up crossing of the Pyrenees - no more difficulties on the passes with this machine!
frankly, a dream machine for long-distance GT bikers!

Indian Roadmaster bought in June. Superb bike. Very satisfied. Nothing to complain about except the heat from the exhaust on the right side. Rating : 5/5
French Model 2017
What more can I say about this fabulous machine? After a 12-year hiatus from motorcycling, I picked up a Roasmaster to get a feel for its 420kg weight. Once I'd got over my apprehension, it was a real treat: perfect balance, very low to the ground, superb handling, a truckload of torque, and all-star equipment
We ride it regularly, both solo and in groups, and often for a few days at a time. There's no shortage of space, everything fits, and above all, the bike doesn't change on the road. Madam likes it a lot and it's never left behind, which is a good thing
The only drawback is that we can only ride for 6 months of the year. Winter in Haute Savoie means salt and snow on the roads from November to April, so cocotte stays warm, but Indian is not to blame...

I have only one piece of advice ... DO NOT TRY IT because you'll be disappointed Rating : 5/5

French krahab Model 2015
confirmation after 2 years of service of the quality of this machine. I own 2 Harleys which I like, but the Indian is a must.
One drawback: mediocre quality leather, stage 1 very desirable, but comfort and roadholding leave other brands far behind.
Reverse gear is useless, just plan the stop accordingly, which is easy with practice.
My wife drives it with her 1m59….

i've been riding a Gold Wing since 1985; I've tried it and never wanted to go back to the garage to give it back. I'm a Gold fan, and it's sure to be my next motorcycle

well it's true there is no reverse gear, but before on the first gold wings, there was none and we drove, I think it's great and I can't wait to have one to drive cooler on the road and enjoy the scenery Rating : 5/5
French Thierry 6791 Model 2016
Very nice mechanics, top finish, reasonable price for a machine that's the best finished on the market. My only drawback is that it has NO REVERSE, which would have put it on the podium of grand touring machines, less expensive than an electra and a gold, more expensive than a victorie, the only thing it lacks is a reverse gear for its weight. Rating : 4/5

French Fifi Model 2015
I think it's a shame that the Roadmaster doesn't have GPS! Harley has been offering it since 2014. I think we're behind the times. It's considered a luxury motorcycle! Too much plastic, the saddlebags warp and the paint chips. Rating : 1/5

Extraordinaire !
French Grosquick 73 Model 2015
Now I know, God has an Indian face! What a fucking bike! I've had it since August 2015 and to say that it's a pleasure to ride is an understatement! Comfort, flexibility, recovery, sound system, volume of luggage, quality of lighting... It's got it all. If it lasts as long as my old Venture 1200, it'll be perfect. FYI, I've got the rear armrest kit and my wife has already fallen asleep 2 times... Rating : 5/5

French krahab Model 2015
I've had it for a week now, and apart from the superior finish, it's an exhilarating ride: supple, comfortable, it angles with precision and is a delight to ride in the mountains or on any road.
The only disappointment, after 16 years of Harley, is that there's no hope of getting better at the moment!
