Indian's, er, Indian takeaway?

Indian is still a fairly new name to lots of riders in Britain. So the firm's working hard to overcome the massive incumbents' advantage which Harley-Davidson has in the 'custom cruiser from America' sector.

Part of that is about getting bums on seats – the best way to persuade someone your new bike is a cracker is to actually let them have a ride on one. With that in mind, Indian has launched a huge touring assault on the market, in the form of a travelling roadshow, taking its test fleet all round Europe. The roadshow has the full range of Indians on offer, from the Scout and Chief, up to the Chieftain and Roadmaster tourers.

Grant Bester, General Manager and VP of Indian in Europe said: “Our dealer network has expanded rapidly and if you’re seen Indian and wondered what our bikes are like to ride, then you have the chance to come and join us on one of our many Roadshow events this year to discover for yourself.”

Here’s a list of the upcoming dates and venues in Britain.
