Lot Essay

Built by renowned Indian motorcycle specialist Mike “Kiwi” Tomas especially for Billy Joel, this Kiwi Indian Chieftain combines the unmistakable character of a postwar Indian Chief with modern construction and usability. Powered by a Kiwi-built 84 cid flathead V-twin, it features a spring-frame chassis, Aerodraulic front fork, and four-speed synchromesh gearbox with overdrive. The Chieftain was displayed at the 2011 AMD World Championship of Custom Bike Building, where it achieved 2nd Place in the Production Manufacturer class. Beautifully styled, with period details throughout, it represents a distinctive collaboration between Billy Joel and one of the foremost modern Indian specialists.
