                  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.

                  Just an awesome bike I was dreaming of it.
                  I was dreaming of this bike since when I was not able to drive a bike and I was under age too for my license. But when I got capable for driving licence than I purchased this bike. Wow. I was shocked that this bike's comfort and braking and other things was too good. The bike just shocked me because of its performance and other things too.
