The iconic ‘Indian Motorcycles’ has finally stepped in to the Indian motorcycle market today. The brand ‘Indian Motorcycles’ has been one of the unique and reputed brands in the American market so far and it was undertaken by the Polaris group in the year 2011. Now, Polaris India has introduced three of its best models in the Indian market today and they have been dubbed into the market as ‘Indian Chief Classic’, ‘Indian Chief Vintage’ and the ‘Indian Chieftain’ respectively.
Indian Motorcycles India is offering all the three models with the same engine series with slight variations.
