Indian Motorcycle have revealed a second Jack
Daniels special edition, and they’re only going to build 100 of them. Only ONE of the Limited Edition Jack Daniel’s Chieftains will come to the
UK, with other countries in Europe also only getting one each. The bikes will
go on sale globally March 14, and when you consider that
the previous Jack Daniels limited edition of 150 units – based on a Springfield
– sold out in just eight hours, you’re going to have to be fast to catch one.
Each motorcycle comes with a commemorative American
flag handcrafted out of Jack Daniel’s barrel wood that includes the owner’s
name, motorcycle number and VIN. The individually numbered bikes come with a
two-year unlimited mileage factory warranty and free membership in the Indian
Motorcycle Riders Group (IMRG) for one year.
The Limited Edition Chieftain had design input from
Klock Werks Kustom Cycles of Mitchell, South Dakota who came up with a wide
array of custom details such as the one-of-a-kind white and black crystal paint
job with charcoal colored accents inspired by Jack Daniel’s unique
charcoal-mellowing process. A number of Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 logos and
custom badging is interspersed over the bike, including logoed billet rider and
passenger floorboards, a leather tank pouch, aluminium tank console with
motorcycle number and unique cam, primary and air intake covers.
The crowning detail is a handmade, pure silver Jack
Daniel’s horn cover badge, hand-crafted by the team at Montana Silversmith,
exclusively developed and produced only for this motorcycle. Ironically, Jack Daniel’s are using the
Indian as a tool to promote their “Bottles and Throttles Don’t Mix” campaign.
The bike also features a 19-inch front wheel with an
open fender and a host of premium touring amenities including LED headlight and
driving lights, power adjustable flare windshield, gloss black front and rear
highway bar, 200-watt premium audio system with fairing and saddlebag speakers,
and Indian Motorcycle’s proprietary Ride Command infotainment system.
The bikes are expected to arrive with their owners
in August 2017, and if you want the one UK bike, you need to have €38,500
(around £33,599) burning a hole in your pocket.
