The now-legendary post WWII V-twin 1946 Indian Chief motorcycle features a smooth ride courtesy of forks that had been designed for desert use by the U.S. military during the war. During the 1910's Indian became the largest manufacturer of motorcycles in the world.
*Notably, Steve McQueen, an avid rider and collector of over 100 motorcycles in his lifetime, was said to favor vintage Indians. The original Indian motorcycle company was founded in 1901 in Springfield, Massachusetts USA, by bicycle racer George Hendee and Swedish immigrant Oscar Hedstrom.
