Indian Chief motorcycle

$18,000-$30,000

Is an Indian Chief a Tax Write-Off?

Short answer: Partly: an Indian Chief used for business is deductible by business-use percentage, using mileage or actual costs.

Motorcycles aren't subject to passenger-auto caps. If it's mainly personal, the new 2025-2028 car loan interest deduction may help instead because it covers new US-assembled motorcycles.

Records to keep: Keep a contemporaneous mileage log (date, miles, business purpose), business-use percentage, the purchase contract, and a photo of the door-jamb GVWR sticker.
