presentation of the 1811 CHIEF 2018
The standard Chief, the one that initiates the clan, has decided to adopt a dual identity. On the one hand, the one we're looking at, simple, elegant and ready to offer itself to the beautiful world; and on the other, the Classic, perennial to the legend.
The Chief's main distinguishing features are its spoked wheels and sober styling. The perfect starting point for customization. With its discreet majesty and attention to detail, it leaves it up to its future owner to create a presentation score.
Then, what could be simpler and more intoxicating than letting yourself be carried away by the enormous blast of the twin 111. More than 1800 cm3 of metal, fat, borborygms and American chewing gum, at the right pace for cruising in complete peace.
Torque, some chrome, two allegorical skirts, a lot of history and a few treats for the road: cruise control, keyless start, ABS, and just the right amount of appetite to catch a glimpse of the shores of Massachusetts.
