Indian
Roadmaster
Indian's Roadmaster is the brand's full-dress touring flagship — the Thunderstroke 116 V-twin produces 126 lb-ft of torque at 2,900 rpm with standard heated/cooled seats, heated grips, and a power windshield from the factory. At 858 lb it is among the heaviest touring bikes available; at-rest handling requires practice, and the air-cooled engine generates significant heat in slow traffic.
