At almost nine feet long, over a metre wide and weighing in at 421kg dry, the Roadmaster is not to be taken lightly ( pun not intended! ), or so you would think.
But despite its massive size it looks rather approachable, and of course exquisite.
It is what Americans like to call a full dresser, just like the Harley-Davidson Electra Glide. The Roadmaster is based on the Chieftain which means you get the massive front fairing with a headlamp that complements the size of the motorcycle perfectly, just like the Chieftain.
The one we got was finished in a scarlet and off-white hue, the true Indian colours, and that scheme makes it simply astonishing to look at. The clocks are a similar sight albeit with a key difference of a 200W audio system which is also Bluetooth compatible. The switchgear is placed on chromed-out consoles the size of landline telephones placed on either side of the handlebars.It is hard to imagine how a motorcycle with this much mass, this much real estate and an 1800cc V-twin could be this easy to manage.the price is quite steep at Rs 38 lakh ex-showroom Delhi. But despite the sky-high price and engine that threatens to roast your legs in traffic, the Roadmaster is the best cruiser motorcycle out there and is the way a cruiser should be.
