It comes with floorboards unlike some other Chief models that have conventional footpegs.

American bikemaker Indian Motorcycle is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year and it has kicked things off by revealing a new cruiser called the Chief Vintage. Unlike the other Chief models in the lineup today, the Vintage’s design harks back to India Chief bikes of yesteryear and also pre-2021 with swooping valanced fenders, floating solo seat, relaxed swept back handlebar and the signature illuminated Indian headdress on the front fender.
Underneath that vintage-looking bodywork of the Chief Vintage, you’ll find the same Thunderstroke 116CI (1,890cc in metric speak) V-Twin, air-cooled motor making the same 156Nm of peak torque at the same 3,300rpm. The main frame and suspension units too are shared with the other Chief models. To keep its period-correct looks, the Vintage rolls on a set of fat ‘ballon’ tyres on smaller 16-inch wire-spoke rims.
