83-Mile 2000 Indian Chief
Overview
Description
There are Low Miles No Miles motorcycles...and then there are the ones that never got the chance to become used motorcycles. This 2000 Indian Chief falls squarely into that category, showing just 83 miles and surviving as a remarkably preserved piece of modern Indian history.
Vehicle Overview
Finished in blue with white accents, this 2000 Indian Chief is powered by its original 88 cubic-inch V-twin engine paired with a manual transmission. The odometer currently shows just 83 miles, and the motorcycle remains 100% stock and original throughout.
Unlike many collector motorcycles that were ridden, modified, or restored over time, this Chief remains remarkably untouched. The bike is described as bone stock right down to the original tires and retains its original paint, factory components, and overall presentation.
Included with the motorcycle are the original title, service manual, dealership CDs, brochures, and supporting documentation collected since new.
Story
According to the seller, this Indian Chief spent much of its life as a display piece in an owner's office rather than on the open road. As a result, the motorcycle accumulated only 83 miles from new, preserving it in a condition rarely seen more than two decades later.
The current owner has added just four miles during ownership while carefully maintaining the bike's originality.
For collectors of American motorcycles, finding a Chief is one thing. Finding one with double-digit mileage, complete documentation, and untouched originality is something entirely different.
The result is a motorcycle that feels less like a used bike and more like a preserved showroom piece from the turn of the millennium.
Condition
As expected for an 83-mile example, the motorcycle presents exceptionally well throughout. The exterior retains its original paint and factory finishes, while the overall appearance reflects its limited use and indoor storage history.
The bike recently underwent a complete service just two weeks ago, including a full safety inspection, fresh fluids, a new battery, and a thorough mechanical review to ensure it is ready to run and ride properly.
The seller reports no known mechanical issues, rust, corrosion, damage and complete service history documentation.
Overall, this is an extraordinarily preserved example that offers collectors a rare opportunity to acquire what is essentially a new 2000 Indian Chief.

Letter From The LMNM Team
This one honestly stopped us in our tracks.
You see a lot of low-mile vehicles in this business, but 83 miles on a 26-year-old motorcycle is almost impossible to wrap your head around.
What makes this Chief so special isn't just the mileage. It's the fact that it was never altered, customized, restored, or turned into something else. It survived exactly as it was built.
The story is what really sold us. Imagine walking into an office for years and seeing this Indian Chief sitting there as the centerpiece. Not being ridden. Not collecting miles. Just being admired.
Because of that, what we're looking at today is about as close as you'll get to stepping back into the year 2000 and seeing one of these motorcycles sitting on a dealership floor.
The documentation, the original tires, the recent recommissioning service, and the incredible originality all come together to create something that simply doesn't surface very often.
It's not often we get to say this, but this motorcycle has spent more of its life being admired than being ridden. We think that's exactly what makes it so special.
