인디언 로드마스터 다크호스는 2015년 로드마스터가 풀 드레스 투어링 모터사이클로 데뷔한 것을 기반으로 인디언 모터사이클의 확장된 로드마스터 라인업의 일부로 출시되었습니다.다크호스 모델은 크롬이 많이 들어간 표준 로드마스터에 비해 검게 칠해진 공격적인 미적 대안을 제공하기 위해 개발되었습니다. 무광 마감, 블랙 아웃 엔진 부품, 어두운 액세서리가 특징인 동시에 투어링 성능은 그대로 유지했습니다.페어링, 하드 새들백, 첨단 전자 장치 등 프리미엄 장거리 투어링 기능과 사용자 정의에서 영감을 받은 불길한 외관을 결합하여 편안함을 희생하지 않으면서도 스타일을 원하는 라이더들에게 어필한 것으로 유명해졌습니다.

구매자가 알아야 할 사항
Thunderstroke Engine Durability
The 116ci Thunderstroke engine is known for strong long-term reliability, but early models (2017-2019) had occasional cam tensioner issues — verify service history before buying.
Strong Resale Value
The Dark Horse trim commands a 10-15% resale premium over standard Roadmaster models due to its blacked-out aesthetic and limited color options, making it a smarter long-term investment.
Premium Ride-Ready Tech
It comes factory-equipped with a 200W Rockford Fosgate stage 2 audio system, heated seats, and cruise control — features that would cost $3,000+ as aftermarket additions on competing bikes.

중고 구매자 리뷰
"A genuinely compelling Harley alternative that rewards experienced, patient riders."
$18,000-$28,000 usedThe Roadmaster Dark Horse is Indian's bruiser done in murdered-out black, and honestly it's one of the better used buys in the touring segment right now. The Thunder Stroke 116 is a gem — smooth, torquey, and genuinely reliable if the previous owner wasn't an idiot about servicing. Check the oil change history religiously. These motors will run forever with proper maintenance but get neglected and you're looking at expensive fixes fast. The infotainment system on later models is genuinely excellent, not just decent-for-a-motorcycle excellent. Ride quality beats comparable Harleys straight up, no argument. Where it gets complicated is weight management in slow-speed parking lot stuff — this thing is heavy and it will punish you if you're not ready for it. Aftermarket support is growing but still nowhere near Harley levels, so budget accordingly. Watch for fairing stress cracks around the lower mounts on higher-mileage examples, and check that the air ride suspension (if equipped) cycles properly. Dealers aren't everywhere, which matters when you're broken down in Montana.
