This stunning machine, priced at approximately $28,999, is not just a motorcycle; it's a statement of luxury and performance, designed for those who crave adventure on the open road. With its iconic styling and a rich heritage, the Roadmaster is built for enthusiasts who value comfort and capability in equal measure. As you embark on long journeys, this motorcycle promises to deliver a plush experience with its ample features and robust performance. ### Engine Performance and Riding Characteristics At the heart of the Roadmaster lies a powerful 1811cc V2 four-stroke engine, delivering an impressive torque of 161.10 Nm at just 3000 RPM. This means you can expect exhilarating acceleration and smooth cruising, whether you're navigating city streets or conquering winding highways. The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox that allows for seamless gear transitions, ensuring you’re always in the right power band. The air-cooled engine maintains its performance without the complexities of liquid cooling, reinforcing the classic feel of this motorcycle. With a weight of 428 kg when fully fueled, the Roadmaster feels stable and confident on the road, while the 25-degree rake and 150 mm trail contribute to its agile handling, making it surprisingly maneuverable for a bike of its size. ### Key Features and Technology The 2017 Indian Roadmaster is loaded with features that enhance both comfort and convenience. The spacious, plush seat is complemented by an adjustable windscreen, allowing riders to tailor their experience to their preference, whether facing the wind on an open highway or cruising through city traffic. The 7-inch touchscreen interface is a standout feature, providing easy access to navigation, music, and essential ride information, all while integrating seamlessly with smartphone connectivity. Additional features like cruise control and advanced ABS braking ensure both a relaxed ride and safety, making long-distance journeys more enjoyable. With a fuel capacity of 20.8 liters, you can ride for longer distances without the constant need to refuel. ###
