Indian Motorcycle Indian Rides Again
Indian motorcycles were manufactured from 1901 to 1953 by a company in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA, initially known as the Hendee Manufacturing Company but which was renamed the Indian Motorcycle Manufacturing Company in 1928. During the 1910s Indian became the largest manufacturer of motorcycles in the world. Indian's most popular models were the Scout, made from 1920 to 1946, and the Chief, made from 1922 to 1953. The Indian Motorcycle Manufacturing Company went bankrupt in 1953. A number of successor organizations have perpetuated the name in subsequent years. In 1999 Indian was reborn in Gilroy, California and built bikes until late 2003 when it too filed bankruptcy.
In 2004 the remnants of the Indian Motorcycle company were purchased by Stellican Ltd. Production of the new generation of Indian motorcycles resumed in a new, state of the art plant in Kings Mountain, S.C. where the newly-formed Indian Motorcycle Company restarted the Indian motorcycle brand. On July 20, 2006, they began manufacturing Indian Chief motorcycles in limited numbers, with a focus on exclusivity rather than numbers, like a 'luxury' watch.

In July '08 we brought you an article about the rebirth of the Indian Motorcycle. Our Northwest Editor likened it to a Phoenix, rising from Click Here for the Rest of the Storythe ashes. A couple of years and a few bank failures later, is the Indian Motorcycle once again going to be a vital piece of American history?
