Polaris, who now owns Indian Motorcycles (and Victory, too) has been busy building new bikes. The latest is the very rare (only 35 are available) 2013 Indian Chief Vintage Limited Edition. Capitalizing on its classic heritage, it exudes Indian style and tradition. With its Two-tone Pearl White & Thunder Black Paint scheme, chrome highway pegs, arrow-style shift rods, quick-detach passenger backrest and luggage rack - it’s a bike that turns heads, whether it’s parked or cruising down Main Street.

I wrote a long and informative post about the raw and rugged luxury motorcycles by Confederate last October. Since then they've improved their B120 Wraith and introduced the radical looking, part steampunk, part Terminator P120 Fighter Combat just this past month at the Quail Motorsports Gathering in Carmel during the world-renowned Pebble Beach car week.

Confederate motorcycles are raw, rebellious, rugged and very rare. With really rocking design and technology produced in limited editions, they are motorcycles for the exclusive set with some serious coin.
