If you’re the type who grumbles that motorcycles just don’t look like they used to, Indian has thrown all of the leather fringe, whitewall tires, spoked rims, chrome splashes, and valanced fenders you could ever want in the 2020 Indian Chief Vintage. This isn’t to say the engineers skimped on the modern features though. The Chief Vintage’s has cast aluminum bones surrounding the Thunder Stroke 111 V-twin, ride modes, cruise control, rear cylinder deactivation when stopped, and keyless ignition to make your ride a comfortable and convenient one.
