Chief Vintage 125th Anniversary Edition

The Chief Vintage 125th Anniversary Edition carries forward the design language Indian Motorcycle established in the 1940s—valanced fenders, a floating solo seat, wire wheels, and the unmistakable visual cues that made the Chief an icon then and still define it now. 

The Chief Vintage 125th Anniversary Edition takes that legacy further with 125th Anniversary Red that fades into Black Crystal, “One Hundred Twenty-Fifth Anniversary” branded pinstriping and hand-applied details refined at every edge. Each Chief Vintage 125th Anniversary Edition is hand-painted and takes over 14 hours to complete. 

The Thunderstroke 116 delivers power with purpose. With 120 ft-lbs of torque that demands attention, it doesn’t fade into the background. It announces itself. Painted cylinder heads, pushrod tubes, and non-machined fins reflect the manufacturing processes of the 1940s—black cylinders paired with silver-painted heads that echo the raw aluminum of the original Chief engines. Engineering exposed. Nothing hidden.

The floating solo seat on the Chief Vintage 125th Anniversary Edition looks like it could’ve rolled out of a factory seventy years ago, but the ergonomics are thoroughly modern. The seat is crafted with premium leather and an embossed 125th Anniversary logo with color-matched stitching. Each unit is individually numbered and with only 250 units available globally, this Anniversary Edition exudes exclusivity.

The valanced fenders, narrow rear subframe, and Vintage Bars aren’t throwback, they’re the original blueprint we created. Wire wheels are tucked under the valanced fenders with an illuminated headdress up front, an Indian Motorcycle signature since 1947. 

Chief Vintage 125th Anniversary Edition comes with three ride modes, Tour, Standard, or Sport, and modern features that include full LED lighting, keyless ignition, cruise control, rear cylinder deactivation, ABS, and Metzeler CruiseTec^® tires that offer supreme traction.
