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
Honoring the iconic Indian Chief lineage is the Chief Vintage 125th Anniversary Edition. The newly released Indian Chief Vintage seamlessly blends timeless design with modern performance, featuring a floating seat, wire wheels, vintage bars and Indian Motorcycle’s iconic valanced fenders.
With 250 available around the world, the new Chief Vintage 125th Anniversary Edition offers riders an opportunity to celebrate Indian Motorcycle’s historic milestone. Exclusive 125th anniversary badging and a stitched seat commemorate 125 years of Indian Motorcycle. Premium componentry includes Indian Motorcycle’s 101 mm (4-inch) Touchscreen Display powered by RIDE COMMAND, and polished rider floorboards. Delivering raw, air-cooled power is Indian Motorcycle’s iconic Thunderstroke 116 – delivering 156 Nm of torque and effortless passing power in every gear.
Scout Bobber 125th Anniversary Edition
The Scout name is a legend in its own right, carrying forward the legacy and craftsmanship that has defined Indian Motorcycle for over a century. With 450 available globally, the Scout Bobber 125th Anniversary Edition boasts exclusive badging and a custom 125th anniversary stitched seat.
Stripped down with an aggressive stance, Scout Bobber 125th Anniversary Edition delivers 111 horsepower via the liquid-cooled, 1250cc SpeedPlus engine and features Indian Motorcycle’s 101 mm (4-inch) Touchscreen Display powered by RIDE COMMAND, allowing riders to view critical bike information, connect via Bluetooth®, and personalize their ride with gauge configurations and selectable ride modes. Bobbed fenders and eight-spoke precision machined wheels add to the bike’s mean bobber style.
Indian Challenger 125th Anniversary Edition
Powered by the King of the Baggers championship-winning PowerPlus 112 motor, the Indian Challenger sets a new standard for American V-Twin baggers. 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. The curated selection blends iconic motorcycle-inspired styles from past and present, including a leather jacket, varsity jacket, crewneck sweatshirt, men’s and women’s T-shirts and a hat.
Showcasing the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship, each piece incorporates signature detailing both inside and out, with special-edition 125th graphics appearing as prints, embroidery, patches, and appliques.
Designed with the same precision and heritage-inspired style as the 125th Anniversary Collection, the entire apparel collection is available exclusively at select Indian Motorcycle dealerships in very limited quantities.
