There's a reason why this type of bikes are not prevalent in India..bcoz these bikes are not meant for the tropical countries! North America is much more suited for these for the cool temperature and wider and smoother roads.Cruisers like this gets extremely hot in tropics.

I know everyone has different tastes but man the old Indian chief looks like absolute crap. Something you see an 70+ year old riding. The fender was hideous. Remember seeing another Indian in the dealership but can't remember if it was the dark horse or what but the bike was teal and white with light brown seat with tassels and shit. Absolutely awful awful awful. Reminded me of a harley davidson deluxe or slim but even worse and I don't even care for either of those Harleys lol EDIT: ahhhhh now I'm remembering the only thing I disliked about the dark horse was that God awful front fender I think. The bike basically was like a road king special
