                  Looking forward to the launch
                  As an enthusiast of the Indian Chieftain, I am looking forward to the launch of the upcomig model. In the current Indian Chieftain, it has a high performance Thunderstroke 116 V-Twin that gives great torque, making every ride smooth on any speed level. Its overall design is elegant, with an aerodynamic fairing and slammed saddlebags. I am keen to see the improvements Indian bike will make regarding these features for the new one.
