The idea of each cylinder being over 900cc is kinda cool, bags n bags of luverlee torque  8)

Was lucky enough to visit the Indian Museum in Springfield in the early noughties, run by a little ol' lady who didn't allow photos to be taken.

The company that now produces the Indians, Polaris, launched the Victory line of street bikes 14 years ago. (big V-Twin stuff).

Maybe if you want a new Indiian and the pennies won't quite stretch, have a look at used Victory.

Here's a new Victory with £3000 off list (down to £10,995). Cheapest Indian appx £18,500, so instead of the Indian, you "could" (bank manager allowing), buy the new Victory AND a brand new Triumph Bonneville and still have a few hundred as well!    ::)

No leaf spring ?

Think the new ones would trike very nicely. Shame they are far too expensive.
When I first heard Indian were bringing out a new engine I was hoping for an inline four.
