Indian CHIEF CLASSIC description

I purchased this original 1948 Indian Chief with matching numbers in July of 1992 from the 'Bose Collection' in Hollywood, the bike was featured in a 1991 Levis commercial. On her 50th birthday in 1998 I had her completely rebuilt, a project that took a couple of years and cost over $ 36k between 'The Shop' in Ventura, CA, Richard Brazas in Inglewood, CA and Wilson Planck at 'American Indian Specialists' in Fullerton, CA. The bike was shipped to Hamburg, Germany for a few years and has been legalized and registered in Europe as well as in the US. All records are complete, brakes, and carburetor have been improved by Wilson Planck. I love this bike and am only selling it because we live very rural in Northern California and she doesn't like our dirt roads, despite the fact that she was originally built when there were a lot more roads like ours. She is currently registered and insured in CA, but I am just not riding her enough these days and would like to find a good home for her. More info and details on request.

Indian manufacturer Hero MotoCorp revealed a new 249cc sportbike developed with the help of Erik Buell Racing.

Whatever the name, the HX250R will be Hero’s flagship model and the company’s weapon against former business partner Honda and its CBR250R.

Ace Motorcycle Predecessor to Indian Four

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. This old adage has never been more accurate than when describing a rare collection of motorcycle drawings from 1919 that were recently found in a trash bin. Created in 1919 by William Henderson, a man considered by many to be America’s most impressive motorcycle designer, this rare collection of original drawings depict the design of a brand known as the Ace, which later became part of the Indian Motorcycle Co.

1916 Indian Board Track Racer

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

The simplicity of this 1916 Indian Board Track Racer is what makes it so beautiful. Board Track was popular during the early part of the 20th century where cars and motorcycles competed at these stadiums where the surface was composed of wooden boards. It was an idea copied from velodromes used across Europe for bicycle racing and ultimately led to the oval racing phenomenon - like NASCAR - that still captivates Americans today.
