In celebration of 125 years of iconic, American craftsmanship, Indian Motorcycle, America’s First Motorcycle Company, today announced an exclusive, limited-edition motorcycle and apparel collection.

Modern Classic Motorcycle News - Kindle Edition
“One hundred and twenty five years is a historic milestone and a true testament to the riders whose passion for the brand kept the spirit of Indian Motorcycle alive and remains our driving force to this day,” said Mike Kennedy, Indian Motorcycle Company CEO. “As we celebrate our anniversary, this special-edition collection of motorcycles and apparel reflects our pride as an iconic American brand and our unyielding commitment to craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and class-leading performance.”
Each model within the 125th Anniversary Collection is meticulously hand-painted, reflecting an exceptional level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. A 125th Anniversary Red with Black Crystal paint scheme delivers a one-of-a-kind aesthetic that celebrates the rich history of Indian Motorcycle. Base paint begins with the iconic Indian Motorcycle Red and is then enhanced with metallic micro-flakes that create a richer, more dynamic aesthetic, giving the collection a distinctive presence unlike anything in Indian Motorcycle’s lineup. Obsessive attention to detail highlights Indian Motorcycle’s craftsmanship that has defined the brand since 1901, including 125th anniversary pinstriping on each model with ghosted details reading, “ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY.” With limited quantities globally, every bike dons a unique serial number, further proving the collection’s exclusivity.
“This lineup represents the highest level of craftsmanship we’ve ever achieved. Every motorcycle was painstakingly designed and refined, not just to perform, but to tell a story,” said Ola Stenegärd, Design Director for Indian Motorcycle. “The design of the 125th Anniversary Collection pays tribute to the legacy that built Indian Motorcycle, making every model not just a machine, but a lasting symbol of our history and our commitment to American craftsmanship.”
Each anniversary model comes equipped with Indian Motorcycle’s Touchscreen Display powered by RIDE COMMAND+. Riders can operate their infotainment system via hand controls or the full-color 101 mm (4-inch) touchscreen display on Scout and Chief and the 178 mm (7-inch) touchscreen display on Indian Challenger. Features across the lineup include vehicle locator, maintenance reminders, gauge configurations, detailed bike and ride information, and turn-by-turn navigation* with connected services**. If using a wireless helmet communicator, riders can control their music within the RIDE COMMAND system once their phone is paired via Bluetooth® or USB. The 125th Anniversary Collection includes the following models:
Chief Vintage 125th Anniversary Edition

A chassis-mounted fairing offers modern style with unrivaled protection from the elements, while its high revving, liquid-cooled PowerPlus engine with overhead cams and 4 valves per cylinder delivers both high horsepower and high torque.
With only 250 available globally, the Indian Challenger 125th Anniversary Edition features exclusive badging and a 125th anniversary custom-stitched, two-up seat. Fully loaded with premium components straight from the factory, the limited-edition Indian Challenger features PowerBand Audio, polished rider and passenger floorboards, and backlit switch cubes. The Indian Challenger 125th Anniversary Edition is a signature model to celebrate Indian Motorcycle’s 125th anniversary.
In addition to its lineup of limited-edition 125th Anniversary motorcycles, Indian Motorcycle has developed a complementary limited-edition apparel collection. Reflecting the aesthetics of the 125th Anniversary motorcycle collection, limited-edition apparel line features the same color palette and exclusive design details, underscoring the rarity of each item.
