Indian Roadmaster Elite Launched

Indian Motorcycle has finally launched its limited edition flagship, the Indian Roadmaster Elite in India today. The uber-premium cruiser will be brought in as CBU and is priced at a whopping Rs 48 lakh (ex-showroom), making it one of the most expensive motorcycles on sale in India. It goes up against the Harley-Davidson CVO Limited, which retails for Rs 49.99 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).

So why the expensive price tag? Well, for starters, only 300 units will be available worldwide, out of which only one unit will be allocated to India, which is already sold. However, the company states that another unit will be made available soon. Each model will come with a custom dual-tone blue and black colour scheme, which according to Indian, is done by hand and can take up to 30 hours. If that's not exclusive enough for you, there's a 23-carat gold leaf Indian insignia on the fuel tank!

The Roadmaster Elite also boasts of some interesting features such as a Ride Command System, which lets you control and monitor vehicle data, fuel consumption, Bluetooth connectivity, Music controls and GPS. All this can be accessed via a 7-inch touchscreen system that works even with riding gloves on.
