Blackened Performance Motorbikes

This New Motorbike Features An All-Encompassing Black Paint Job

The release of an exciting, brand new motorbike by Indian Motorcycles is always met by lots of anticipation and excitement among those motorbike fans who are in the know, and it's because of the innovation in design and performance that is seen in offerings like this Chieftain Dark Horse motorbike.

This new motorbike is actually a modified version of the Chief Dark Horse that was released back in 2015, and costs $1,000 less thanks to some changes. The bike still features the same Thunderstroke 111 engine, ABS, cruise control and windshield as the Dark Horse, but features visual changes in the much more liberal use of black paint, with the chrome really only visible in a few small areas.

If you're looking for a new motorbike to ride into the dark side with, this all-black Chieftain Dark Horse will make for a trusty steed.
