Indian Super Chief Limited

The Indian Super Chief Limited has a top speed of Estimated 185 km/h (note: limited real-world data; electronically influenced), produces 78 hp and weighs 376 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.

L'Indian Super Chief Limited a été réintroduite en 2022 dans le cadre de la renaissance par Indian Motorcycle de la gamme Chief classique, en s'inspirant largement du style emblématique de l'Indian Chief original de 1922. Il est doté d'équipements de tourisme complets, notamment un grand garde-boue avant, un garde-boue arrière plissé et des garnitures chromées classiques, ce qui en fait un croiseur historique haut de gamme. Le modèle se distingue par son mélange d'esthétique rétro et de technologie moderne, destiné aux conducteurs qui apprécient le style des motos américaines à l'ancienne avec la fiabilité contemporaine.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir

⚙️

Thunderstroke 116 Reliability

The 116 cubic inch Thunderstroke engine is widely regarded as one of Indian's most durable powerplants, with many owners reporting 50,000+ miles with minimal issues when properly maintained. Regular oil changes and valve adjustments at recommended intervals are key to longevity.

⚠️

Watch for Electrical Gremlins

Some owners have reported intermittent issues with the touchscreen infotainment system and USB charging ports, particularly in earlier production years. Verify all electronics function properly before purchasing a used example.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The Limited trim's premium features — including heated seats, heated grips, and factory locking saddlebags — help it retain value significantly better than base Chief models. Limited editions and special color variants can command a notable premium on the used market.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion

7.8/10
Idéal pour
Long-distance cruiser fans wanting serious street presence

"A gorgeous, capable touring cruiser that rewards patient, highway-focused riders."

$18,000-$26,000 used

The Super Chief Limited is Indian's most ornate cruiser, and used examples between 2022-2024 represent genuinely good value if you can stomach the sheer size of the thing. That 116ci Thunderstroke motor pulls hard from almost nothing, and the chrome-laden bodywork still turns heads like few bikes can. Check for corrosion around the fender struts and inspect the leather saddlebags for cracking — early owners sometimes neglected conditioning them. The suspension is plush to a fault, which some riders love and canyon carvers absolutely hate. It's tuned for boulevard posing, not technical roads. Inspect the quick-detach windshield mounts carefully — they can develop slop and rattle annoyingly at highway speeds. Tires wear reasonably well but replacements aren't cheap given the unusual sizing. Dealer servicing costs are real money, so budget accordingly. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration on the Ride Command system works well but occasionally needs a software reset.
