American Motorcycle Company Motorcycle reviews

Purchased new in 2000. Original owner. This 2000 Indian Chief motorcycle in cream and black is a stunning and classic bike with a retro design. It featured a timeless color scheme of cream and black, giving it a vintage and sophisticated look. The cream-colored bodywork was complemented by black accents and detailing, creating a striking contrast. The chrome finishes added to the bike's luxurious appeal, while the classic Indian Chief logo on the fuel tank added a touch of heritage and tradition. Riding on wide white-wall tires, this Indian Chief exuded elegance and style on the road. The powerful engine, comfortable seating, and smooth handling made it a pleasure to ride, whether cruising through city streets or hitting the open highway. Overall, this 2000 Indian Chief motorcycle in cream and black was a beautiful and iconic machine that captured the essence of classic American motorcycle design. Show less

Written on April 18,2023 I have a 2014 Indian Chieftain that I bought from a dealer and thought I bought a good motorcycle, boy was IWRONG!! At 40,000 miles the engine had internal failure which caused loss of compression. The shop I carried it to is where I bought it from used. As engine was torn down a terrible smell came out as well as the entire shop said they had never seen anything like this before. After sending tithe initial report to Indian, additional information was requested by Indian. Indian claims NO responsibility for failure. This was supposed to be a retirement enjoyment after 36 years in the army. Indian customer service will not give information so I can take complaint higher. Show less

I currently own three AIH ~ LSCs , also one Big Dog, and one 93 Harley Evo. Two 04 and one 06. All three AIH motorcycles have been pure pleasure to own. Not without issues. All three were changed out with after market ignitions, one problem solved. Also AIH are delivered with Korean 6 speed transmissions. Out of the three, I had to replace one. One other common problem is the speedometer/tachometer they are a POS, either replace or do without. I love the fact they not only look great, but also have plenty of kick you in the ass POWER...

Just got this beautiful bike and the shop that customized it can’t seem to fix the front brake they are telling me that’s just an Indian I can’t believe everyone with a bike like this is running with no front brake. Has anyone had this issue and if you what is the fix. The back brake is fine but you need the front to work that where the braking comes from. Any help would be appreciated. The bike is perfect in every way except the brake issue. Thanks Show less

The good about the bike is that it looks and rides great! The bad is that the bike always has something breaking. There is always something that needs to be fixed. If you buy this bike it’ll make you feel like a bad ass riding it, and it will be fun to ride, but unfortunately, it will spend a lot of time at the mechanic. If you want a chopper without headaches. Buy a Honda Fury. However, if you are mechanically inclined. The Ironhorse might be the bike for you. If you luck out and get one somewhat reliable. It is a blast to ride. Show less

Hey everyone, just bought my first real bike, sorry to the sport bike riders out there but I went from a 750 Katana to an 03 Tejas and the Tejas had so much power it scared me lol. Anyway only issues I’m having are a hurt butt from the rigid ride on the highway and today I noticed it made a funny ticking sound And wouldn’t turn over them out of the blue it turned over and started. I don’t put it on the trickle everyday, should I? Show less

Its an absolute tank! Looks like a shiny new Harley Davidson, despite being 23 years old. Currently have 53,000 kms on it (about 33,000 miles). It sat in a basement not moving for 12 years, when I got it, it was under a half inch of grime. Cleaned the carbs and gas tank, dropped in a new battery, and it roared to life like it was driven yesterday. A day of cleaning and fluid changes, and it was like a brand new bike. Tourque for days, and with the suspension set to 4 it corners like a champ. Its amazing the lean it can get, and the power out of the turns!! Its a Honda. Nobody's quite sure how long they last, since if they are reasonably taken care of (read: occasional oil changes and try to avoid snow), they keep firing up and running forever. If you are reading this because you see a deal on an old one, and wondering if they are a good bike, do it. do it now. You're sitting in front of a computer (or phone) when you could be getting one of the best bikes on the road! Show less

I bought a Indian Chieftain in November of 2014. and I love it like no other motorcycle I've ever ridden. I have ridden many types of motorcycles, the last was a 2008 Harley Davidson Sportster XL1200. It was nice but the Indian Chieftain has options that Harley-Davidson only wish they had thought of. It has a 111 HP Stoker engine 1811cc of pure power. It also has a lA powered windshield that goes up and down like a car window. It has a faring with an on-board computer that links up to your smart phone and does anything that your smart phone can do - navigation, calls, searching internet, etc. a 100 watt stereo with am/FM aux., weather station, etc. It also has large spacious saddle bags with plenty of room for hauling whatever you want - just about anything. I can go on, but you just need to go see one yourself and check it out. I enjoy riding my bike like no other ride I've ever ridden. It's very smooth and comfortable. I give it 5 stars plus...go check it out. You will find something there that you have to ride and it will be better and cheaper that a Harley-Davidson. Show less
