Hornaday’s top-of-the-line black & burgundy Vintage was built to his specifications and features optional painted rims, black leather saddlebags and seat with fringed leather.

Hornaday mentioned that one of his favorite photos is of his father, a racing legend himself, seated on an Indian Chief, just before he sold it to go into the Army. Hornaday said “This is one beautiful bike and I’m looking forward to getting out and doing some riding.  I’ve owned lots of motorcycles over the years, but this one is very special – a great combination of power and classic design.”

After almost five years of, product development, testing, speculation and dealer development, Indian Motorcycle has announced that the first shipment of 2009 Indian Chiefs has been shipped to seven dealerships across the nation.

For 2009, Indian will offer four distinct Chief models, including the Chief Standard, Chief Deluxe, Chief Roadmaster and Chief Vintage with base prices ranging from $30,999 to $35,499 respectively. Production of the 2009 Indian Chief is limited to 750 units with plans to increase production in the second year.

Cruiser sales are slumping, consumer confidence is lagging and the economy appears to be going from bad to worse. Could there possibly be a worse time to revive a premium luxury motorcycle? After the original Indian Motorcycle Co. went under in 1953, the California Motorcycle Company tried to breathe life into the much desired brand of yore from 99-03 but was unsuccessful. According to company reps, over 100 bikes have already been sold with many owners already having taken delivery. Could the third time be the charm? Let’s hope so!
