Indian Roadmaster
The Indian Roadmaster has a top speed of 185 km/h (estimated; note: electronically limited, real-world touring use typically well below this), produces 78 hp and weighs 430 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.
Indian Roadmaster був знову представлений у 2015 році як частина відродженої лінійки преміум-турніру бренду Indian Motorcycle, спираючись на оригінальну назву Roadmaster, яка датується 1948 роком. Він позиціонується як флагманський туристичний мотоцикл Індії, який безпосередньо конкурує з Harley-Davidson Road Glide та Electra Glide, оснащений повністю закритим нижнім обтічником, великими сідлами та заднім багажником. Протягом багатьох років він був оновлений двигуном Thunder Stroke 116, інформаційно-розважальними програмами Ride Command та передовою електронікою, зміцнивши свою репутацію одного з найрозкішніших та багатих функцій туристичних мотоциклів.

Thunderstroke Engine Durability
The 116ci Thunderstroke engine is known for strong long-term reliability, commonly logging 100,000+ miles with proper maintenance. Oil changes every 5,000 miles are critical to avoiding premature wear.
Strong Resale Value
Indian Roadmasters hold resale value better than many touring competitors, typically retaining 60-70% of their value after three years. Limited edition models and low-mileage examples command a strong premium on the used market.
Watch for Infotainment Bugs
Pre-2020 models are known to have software glitches in the Ride Command infotainment system, including freezing and Bluetooth connectivity issues. Verify a software update has been applied before purchasing a used example.

"The best used touring value if you buy with eyes open."
$14,000-$24,000 usedThe Roadmaster is Indian's serious answer to the touring crown, and used examples are genuinely compelling value right now. You're getting heated everything, a proper infotainment system, and that thunderstroke 116 punching out torque that'll embarrass bikes costing twice as much. Check the front forks on pre-2020 models — they can weep seal fluid quietly and previous owners sometimes ignore it. Also prod every piece of chrome you can find; cheaper storage solutions let moisture in and rust appears faster than you'd expect on a supposedly premium machine. Electronics are generally solid but Ride Command units on 2017-2018 bikes can glitch, freeze, or lose pairing intermittently — annoying rather than dangerous, but factor a dealer reset into your budget. The fairing lowers crack if someone's dropped it at low speed, which happens more than sellers admit. Always inspect mounting points carefully. Mechanically these engines are bulletproof past 50,000 miles if serviced properly, so don't fear high mileage — fear poor service history.
