MINNEAPOLIS, March 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Indian
Motorcycle, America's first motorcycle company, and the Jack Daniel
Distillery, America's first registered distillery, today announced
the availability of a Limited Edition Jack Daniel's® Indian®
Chieftain®. The new custom-inspired Chieftain marks the second year
the two iconic American trailblazers have joined forces to build a
unique V-twin-powered celebration of American craftsmanship. The
motorcycle brings together two brands that share a mutual
commitment to independence, originality, and ingenuity.
Designed in conjunction with Klock Werks Kustom Cycles of
Mitchell, S.D., the Limited
Edition Jack Daniel's Indian Chieftain conveys an intimidating
presence while maintaining an ultra-premium look. Designed with a
sleek, aggressive style, this extremely limited edition motorcycle
is sure to turn heads.
The individually numbered motorcycles offer a wide array of
custom details, highlighted by a one-of-a-kind white and black
crystal paint job with charcoal colored accents inspired by
Jack Daniel's unique
charcoal-mellowing process. A host of Jack
Daniel's "Old No. 7" logos and custom badging are
interspersed throughout the bike, including logoed billet driver
and passenger floorboards, leather tank pouch, aluminum 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. The bike also
carries an inscription of Jack
Daniel's "Bottles and Throttles Don't Mix" mantra to remind
riders that drinking and riding are meant to be enjoyed
separately.
In addition to the bike's unique custom-branded accents, the
Limited Edition Jack Daniel's Indian Chieftain also features a
19-inch, contrast cut 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.
Only 100 of these show-stopping Limited Edition Chieftain's are
available globally, and each comes with a commemorative American
flag handmade from Jack Daniel's
barrel wood. Each flag will be customized to include the owner's
name, motorcycle number and VIN. The individually numbered
bikes carry an MSRP of $34,999
(California models add
$250 for California emissions) and a Canada MSRP of
$42,499. Each comes with a two-year
unlimited mileage factory warranty and free membership in the
Indian Motorcycle Riders Group™ for one year.
To order one of these highly sought after limited edition
motorcycles, please visit or call your local Indian Motorcycle
dealership starting at Noon Eastern on March
14th. Only 100 motorcycles will be produced and
will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Specific
motorcycle numbers may not be reserved. Each of these motorcycles
will be hand-painted and built, with delivery occurring no later
than August 2017.
"You won't find two brands that better represent the American
dream and the power of American ingenuity more than Indian
Motorcycle and Jack Daniel's," said
Steve Menneto, President of
Motorcycles for Polaris Industries. "Once again, Brian Klock and his team at Klock Werks Kustoms
exceeded our expectations with a totally unique Indian Chieftain
that combines a sense of exclusivity with a tough, aggressive edge.
We couldn't be happier with it."
The collaboration began in 2016 when the two iconic brands came
together to create the Limited Edition Jack Daniel's® Indian®
Springfield™ and Indian® Chief® Vintage in celebration of the
150th Anniversary of the Jack Daniel
Distillery. All 150 available motorcycles sold out in only
eight hours.
"The response to last year's collaboration was nothing short of
spectacular, and we're extremely proud to carry this partnership
forward in 2017 to further reinforce our 'Bottles and Throttles
Don't Mix' campaign," said Dave
Stang, Director of Events and Sponsorships for Jack Daniel's. "Both Jack Daniel's and Indian
Motorcycle were born from a singular vision, powered by a
relentless sense of ambition to bring a dream to life, and that's
ultimately what this Limited Edition Jack Daniel's Indian Chieftain
represents."
