When it comes to motorcycles, there are very few who make it as grand and larger-than-life as Indian Motorcycles. The US-based motorcycle manufacturer is operating in India for a decade now and has given us some niche and super expensive cruisers, baggers and tourers. Topping all of them, it had also launched a few limited edition motorcycles in the past, one of which is the Indian Roadmaster Elite. Here is India’s only Indian Roadmaster Elite, which looks even more exclusive with several gold-plated touches everywhere on it.
A YouTube video uploaded by BikeWithGirl shows India’s only Roadmaster Elite finished in an exclusive shade of blue, called Cobalt Candy. What makes this Roadmaster Elite get an exclusive status is the use of gold in several parts of this motorcycle. The owner of this motorcycle has got 23 karat gold inscribed on various parts of the motorcycle, such as ‘Indian’ brandings on the fuel tank, rear side panniers and the part of the instrument console mounted on the fuel tank. Even the ‘Roadmaster’ branding on the side panels flanking the fuel tank is inscribed in gold.
