Sturgis Just Turned 86, and Harley-Davidson vs Indian Motorcycle Got Personal
Aug 16, 2026The Spec'd take
Why it stands out
- Full touring package with hard bags and a top box on the modern liquid-cooled PowerPlus platform
- Shares its engine with Chieftain and Challenger, a proven, well-equipped platform
- Dark Horse and Limited trims both come well equipped as standard
Worth knowing
- Claimed mileage figures for this model are inconsistent across sources despite sharing the same engine as Chieftain, so treat any stated figure with caution until confirmed with a dealer
- Heaviest bike in the non-Roadmaster range at 425 kg with a full tank, a real factor on Indian road surfaces and at low-speed manoeuvring
- CBU import, made to order, so wait times can be long
- Indian publishes no prices in India; the figures shown are its June 2025 list prices, so expect dealer quotes to be higher after the September 2025 GST rise on bikes above 350cc
