Indian - Chief - 1450 cc - 1999
Indian Chief Limited Edition 1999 – No. 1070 of only 1,100 units
For sale is an exceptionally rare Indian Chief Limited Edition from 1999 in the classic brown and cream color scheme. The nameplate identifies it as No. 1070 of globally only 1,100 produced units.
1999 marks the first production year of the revived Indian Chief from Gilroy, California. It is precisely this first numbered series that makes the motorcycle particularly interesting today – and in Europe, examples of these early Limited Editions are hardly ever available on the market.
With its deeply tucked fenders, large spoke wheels, distinctive front end, and the elaborate brown leather upholstery with fringe and studs, this Indian embodies the classic American cruiser style. A double seat with passenger backrest and large side leather saddlebags emphasize its distinctive presence.
Under the tank sits the characteristic 1,442 cc S&S V-twin with S&S carburetor and belt drive. Add to that the exceptionally low mileage for its age: only 12,690 miles. The engine, transmission, and suspension are intact and operating properly – the best prerequisites for a long motorcycle life and many more truly cool kilometers on the road.
Of course, age has left its mark. Corrosion and wear are present on various chrome and metal parts, and the backrest could use some attention. These points are intentionally and honestly documented in the detail photos. The necessary work mainly concerns aesthetics and not the technical substance. For an enthusiast or wrench, this is the opportunity to restore the Indian to true beauty with a bit of care and attention to detail – and finally own an exceptional and rare motorcycle that you won’t find around every corner.
