Indian Challenger Black keeps an estimated 75% of its value after 5 years — #188 of 1005 powersports vehicles VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Indian Challenger Black retains an estimated 75% of its value after five years, ranking #188 of 1005 powersports vehicles we track. That is roughly in line with the 74% five-year average for Cruiser in its class.
Most of the loss lands early: the Indian Challenger Black sheds about 12% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $26,499 it falls to around $19,874 by year five — a five-year loss near $6,625, about $3.63 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Indian Challenger Black bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
