I don't know much about Indian Motorcycles. however, I was watching "Two Wheel Thunder" and they talked a little bit about the revival of the company the bike I saw looked prettey cool. All USA built from what I understand.

Now I understand that this company went under in about 1958 or so. and from then have traded hands so its not exactly the original, but its cool to see an American Icon trying for yet another come back.

 

There is a long thread here somewhere about it. And it is loaded with details. Thanx though.

 

Yeah i visited the indian dealer in daytona i have to say i really like the Chief Bomber with the pinup girls on the bike, with the green paint and leather seats just looked very cool. But it also started at 31,000! Too rich for my blood but cool bikes none the less

 

there a nice bike,expensive!!

 

On the "two wheel thunder" they said that they have a chick painting that chick she does one gas tank per day.

 

The company that revived chris craft bought them.

I hope they make it this time.

 

Yeah I love the way that bike looks if i had the cash i would get one without a doubt.

Its hard to believe that they will make it in this economy. I think they did the bikes the right way this time but it was the wrong timing coming into this battered economy where even HD is not doing as great. I mean just to break into indian you have to throwdown 30,000 and depending on the model could be 40,000+ i have a hard time they are pushing alot of those bikes, who knows.

 

How many times has Indian been resurrected since 1958? Seems like they try to get it going only to stumble and eventually be resold to another company that attempts to get it off the ground again.

I would love to see them get back in the bike business in full force. I doubt they will sell many bikes at their current pricing though.

 

They're not real Indians. Anybody can buy an old name and slap it on a bike. They are catching the downside of a fad, and going after the wine and cheese crowd. Good luck with that.
I would've rather they revived the old Indian Four. Now that'd be cool.

 

Wish the New Company Well .. Out of Reach for me with their pricing .. But Competition with HD is always a Good Thing IMHO
