Indian All description

For Sale is my 1950 Indian Chief Blackhawk 80 cubic inch motorcycle.  I bought this bike from the 2nd owner and he had many wonderful stories to tell about the old Indian.  He acquired it in the 60's and rode it for a few years only to take it apart and leave in boxes for 40 years.  It was put back together around 2008 and he still had all the original parts.  I have the original steps for it, I have the original Indian saddle bags.  There is also a box full of original and spare parts.  The motor has been rebuilt.  I have the original pistons that came out of the motor.  The fenders and tank have been repainted the original Indian red.  This bike has spent the last 6-7 years just going to motorcycle shows in the Midwest region.  I have not tried to start the bike for awhile.  I drained the gas out of it so it wouldn't get gummed up.

 I'm currently judging interest in the bike and if the right price/offer is made, I will probably sell it. If you need any other pictures let me know.   

Ultimately, I am looking for the "right" person to buy the Indian so that I can carry on what the older gentleman who sold it to me wished for.  He owned it for over 50 years, and that's rare these days. 785-633-9336

Indian introduces new PowerPlus engine

Wed, 20 Nov 2019

The apparatus with a 60-degree camber of the cylinder block can hardly be called the “little brother” of the 1811cc Thunder Stroke 111 engine - its capacity is 1769cc, but in terms of design solutions, the motors are fundamentally different. Let's start with the fact that, according to the manufacturer, the new engine is the most powerful in its class - it develops 121hp at 5500rpm and 178 Nm at 3800 rpm. PowerPlus, like the Scout motor, has an overhead camshaft, is equipped with four valves per cylinder and hydraulic compensators, eliminating the need to adjust clearances, the cooling is liquid.

Whenever we publish stories about the motorcycle industry in India, we still get comments from readers surprised at how big a role that nation’s market plays, and perhaps more poignantly, how small it makes the U.S. market look. The latest sales numbers from Hero MotoCorp, India’s market leader, should further highlight the importance of India’s motorcycle market.
