2014 Indian motorcycles

Fresh of the press this week was the details release of 2014 Indian Motorcycles range at the famous Sturgis rally in South Dakota US (3rd August 2013)! I’m not a diehard cruiser/custom fan but enjoy the lines – check out my Instagram page if you want to know more!  The Indian Motorcycle brand rejuvenated by Polaris Industries is introducing 3 new models powered by the new Thunder Stroke 111 engine. That’s 111 cubic inches of engine capacity if you hadn’t already guessed! The first 1901 made are specially numbered to represent when the brand first appeared but there are no other special enhancements. Incidentally Polaris Industries also owns the Victory brand of which you can also see on my Instagram page.

The following extracts are based on their Press Release and their three models models are the:
