Indian Motorcycle recounts the full story of the iconic American brand whose history dates back 120 years to its founding in 1901.
This officially licensed 120th anniversary edition of Indian Motorcycle tells the complete story of Indian, Americas first mass-produced motorcycle maker, from its start as a bicycle manufacturer to the purchase of the brand by Polaris Industries in 2011 and the subsequent new Indian motorcycles-updated to include new photography, the story of the latest models, including the FTR1200, Chieftain, Challenger, and Roadmaster, and Indians return to racing. In the early years of the 20th century, Indian dominated the worlds racetracks and showrooms, earning the brand a worldwide reputation for quality, performance, reliability, and technical innovation with such classic machines as the Chief, Scout and Four. But the once-mighty company fell on hard times and in 1953 was forced to file bankruptcy. The Indian brand never quite died, however, thanks in large part to fanatically devoted enthusiasts, who tried to resurrect it for over half a century. Finally, Polaris, maker of the highly regarded Victory brand of motorcycles, purchased the brand and released the Chief and Scout, models that once again restored Indian to its rightful place in the motorcycle pantheon.Indian Motorcycle is the most complete and up-to-date history of this classic American motorcycle.
