2000 Indian Chief 88ci
VIN Number: 5CDCNB511YG003416
Following the demise of the original Indian company in 1953, here were sporadic attempts to revive what had been one of America's foremost motorcycle marques. The original company had been split in the early 1950s, esulting in a legal tangle that frustrated efforts to revive production and would not be resolved until 1999 with the formation of the Indian Motorcycle Corporation. The latter resumed production in Gilroy, alifornia with, aturally, v-twin, hough in order to meet modern-day power and emissions requirements an overhead-valve engine was used instead of Indian's traditional 'flat-head' motor. The new Chief's air-cooled power unit came from S&S and displaced 87.99ci (1,442cc) to produce 75bhp at 5,200rpm. It had a five-speed transmission, elt final drive and disc brakes on both wheels. While the engineering was up-to-the-minute, he styling was unashamedly 'retro', he distinctive gas tank and 'Art Deco' fenders recalling the classic Indian models of the 1940s. Sadly, lthough the bikes were good, he company's financial foundations were less secure and production ceased in 2003.
Currently displaying only 3,821 miles on the odometer, hief is offered in excellent condition throughout. Fresh from a recent tune up to ready for sale, t starts and idles well and runs with good responsive power. The gears shift perfectly with an excellent clutch. Disc brakes are excellent as are the rest of the cycle parts including good tires.
Cosmetically, he bike is also in excellent condition for its 17 years. Paint is good with nothing but swirls in the paint, asily buffed out. All chrome is in very good condition, estament to the quality over Harley’s build and finishes. The bike sports ape-hanger handlebars and the front mudguard was removed for a more aggressive look. The original parts do not come with the bike.
Stored correctly, he bike has gone unused for a few years and so California buyers can expect three year’s worth of back-fees at registration. Bid accordingly.
Far better looking than the original stoic Chief, his is a great alternative to the far more commonplace Harley.
