It's a fact, or a goal... or both. Indian has decided to have its own fleet of luxury motorcycles. Following the example of Harley-Davidson's CVOs, the second-largest American manufacturer now boasts high value-added machines, shimmering with opulence and apt to establish a certain idea of prestige. At Indian, this brand is called Elite. The Roadmaster embellishes this name to the utmost. For lovers of richly endowed ocean liners, it's a sight to behold. What class! Such poise! And what mass! America shows off and takes control of the great outdoors.

The Roadmaster Elite takes the brand to the next level. The very top of the range. The road had already been blazed with the Chieftain Limited and Elite , but this is a clear step up. Already imposing, the standard Roadmaster seems almost bland by comparison. This is where the superb two-tone paintwork really comes into its own. Each bike is hand-painted, the highlight being the 23-carat gold leaf badge on the tank.
Secondly, special series means special parts. The mudguards receive chrome accents and the company decorative bars. The rear-view mirrors are Pinnacles, also chromed, as are the handlebar controls. The driver gets wide, badged footboards, while the passenger can relax his arms on armrests. A little zest for riding? The Indian Roadmaster Elite comes with a 300 W sound system.
As for the engine, it's even more worth taking a close look. An admirable ode to metal, brimming with style and torque, it features custom covers with gold inserts.

A block that needs no introduction. With 1811 cm3 and 15.3 mkg (16.5 in the US), this big twin has the delicate task of carrying one of the heaviest bikes in production. 433 kilos fully loaded, carried at a deep pace. Once on board, it's easy to be seduced by the plethora of equipment derived from the "basic" Roadmaster: electric windscreen, heated seat and grips, cruise control, keyless entry and start, and Ride Command to complete the package. With this large 17.8 cm screen, you can control on-board functions, multimedia, music, phone via Bluetooth and GPS mapping.
And now you're in trouble. It used to be that all you had to do was write a huge cheque and snap up an H-D Limited CVO or a Road Glide CVO. Now, this Roadmaster Elite is part of the game, and it's much trickier to choose.
