Indian Roadmaster Black keeps an estimated 80% of its value after 5 years — #79 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 Roadmaster Black retains an estimated 80% of its value after five years, ranking #79 of 1005 powersports vehicles we track. That is 4 points above the 76% five-year average for Touring in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Indian Roadmaster Black sheds about 4% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $29,249 it falls to around $23,516 by year five — a five-year loss near $5,733, about $3.14 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Indian Roadmaster Black bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
