Indian Motorcycle Celebrates Performance, Style, & Customization with ‘First 6’ Sport Chief RT Builds
Posted on
Indian Motorcycle, America’s First Motorcycle Company, celebrated performance, style, and customisation at the Moto Bike Expo in Verona, Italy, by showcasing the ‘First 6’ customs based on the newly announced 2025 Indian Sport Chief RT. With a public vote to choose the best, the ‘First 6’ collection of Club Style customs has been crafted by select Indian Motorcycle dealers from around Europe, highlighting the artistry and ingenuity of the brand’s dealer network.
Building on the new Sport Chief RT’s aggressive style, attitude, and dynamic riding character, the six dealer builds bring unique designs, custom finishes, and creative interpretations to the RT’s performance cruiser roots.
For Ola Stenegärd, a renowned customiser and Director of Design for Indian Motorcycle, the ‘First 6’ is a passion project that links directly to a key principle of the factory design team – customising is key.
“When we’re designing, we’re always keeping customisers in our minds to ensure that the bikes we produce are as easy to work on as we can make them. The ‘First 6’ really is the fruit of that process and, as ever, I’m totally blown away by the results, especially with the really short time our dealers had to create these bikes from the sketches they presented during the selection process,” said Stenegärd. “The level of paintwork is next-level and the close-up details are off the wall. With every viewing you find something new on each build.”
Each dealer had just six weeks from the delivery of the base Indian Sport Chief RT to delivering a completed Club Style build to the Verona Show, proving they all have what it takes to impress under pressure.
With the high standard of the ‘First 6’ Sport Chief RT customs, the public vote to select a winner is set to be close. Voting is open until <DATE> with the winning bike will be announced during the Salon Du 2 Roues show in Lyon, France, February 13-16.
