MINNEAPOLIS, MN – In celebration of 125 years of iconic, American craftsmanship, Indian Motorcycle, America’s First Motorcycle Company, today announced an exclusive, limited-edition motorcycle and apparel collection. Featuring four hand-painted models with exclusive 125th anniversary badging and premium componentry, the 125th Anniversary Collection and apparel line offers riders an exclusive opportunity to own a piece of Indian Motorcycle history.

“One hundred and twenty five years is a historic milestone and a true testament to the riders whose passion for the brand kept the spirit of Indian Motorcycle alive and remains our driving force to this day,” said Mike Kennedy, Indian Motorcycle CEO. “As we celebrate our anniversary, this special-edition collection of motorcycles and apparel reflects our pride as an iconic American brand and our unyielding commitment to craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and class-leading performance.”

Each model within the 125th Anniversary Collection is meticulously hand-painted, reflecting an exceptional level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. A 125th Anniversary Red with Black Crystal paint scheme delivers a one-of-a-kind aesthetic that celebrates the rich history of Indian Motorcycle. Base paint begins with the iconic Indian Motorcycle Red and is then enhanced with metallic micro-flakes that create a richer, more dynamic aesthetic, giving the lineup a distinctive presence unlike anything in Indian Motorcycle’s lineup. Obsessive attention to detail highlights Indian Motorcycle’s craftsmanship that has defined the brand since 1901, including 125th anniversary pinstriping on each model with ghosted details reading, “ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY.” With limited quantities globally, every bike dons a unique serial number, further proving the collection’s exclusivity.

“This lineup represents the highest level of craftsmanship we’ve ever achieved. Every motorcycle was painstakingly designed and refined, not just to perform, but to tell a story.,” said Ola Stenegärd, Design Director for Indian Motorcycle. “The design of the 125th Anniversary Collection pays tribute to the legacy that built Indian Motorcycle, making every model not just a machine, but a lasting symbol of our history and our commitment to American craftsmanship.”

Each anniversary model comes equipped with Indian Motorcycle’s Touchscreen Display powered by RIDE COMMAND+. Riders can operate their infotainment system via hand controls or the full-color 4-inch touchscreen display on Scout and Chief and the 7-inch touchscreen display on Indian Challenger and Roadmaster. Features across the lineup include vehicle locator, maintenance reminders, gauge configurations, detailed bike and ride information, and turn-by-turn navigation with connected services, such as live weather and traffic overlays. If using a wireless helmet communicator, riders can control their music within the RIDE COMMAND system once their phone is paired via Bluetooth® or USB.

In addition to its lineup of limited-edition 125th Anniversary motorcycles, Indian Motorcycle has developed a complementary limited-edition apparel collection, headlined by a collaboration with DIXXON Flannel. Reflecting the aesthetics of the 125th Anniversary motorcycle collection, the eight-piece, limited-edition apparel line features the same color palette and exclusive design details, underscoring the rarity of each item. The curated selection blends iconic motorcycle-inspired styles from past and present, including a limited-edition flannel by DIXXON, a leather jacket, varsity jacket, crewneck sweatshirt, men’s and women’s T-shirts and a hat.

Showcasing the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship, each piece incorporates signature detailing both inside and out, with special-edition 125th graphics appearing as prints, embroidery, patches, and appliques. A nod to the 125th anniversary, there are only 125 leather jackets in quantity nationwide.

Designed with the same precision and heritage-inspired style as the 125th Anniversary Collection, the entire apparel collection is available exclusively at Indian Motorcycle dealerships. Pricing ranges from $12.99-$399.99 with women’s sizing from XS-3XL and men’s sizing from S-3XL.

The 125th Anniversary Collection will begin shipping to dealers this month.
