Indian Chief description

If you are looking for a great driver Indian bid on this bike.  I bought this bike locally from the Nephew of the dealer that sold it new.  I have owned it for 30 years and drove it in parades.  In its life it has been all over the country and has a very interesting past.  It is running and shifts nice in all gears.  I have only put 600 miles on it in the last 20 years so it is time for someone else to enjoy it.  Call with questions 712 269 1047  after 4:00 central standard.  It is not restored it was freshened before I bought it.  There are imperfections in the paint and wear and tear.  The chain guard needs repaired from the kick starter and there is a small dent in the top of the tank.  Very presentable but not perfect.

 I do not have to sell it so the reserve is firm.  Others have sold for more and Mecum thought I could get that in Kansas City.

Steve McQueen’s 1946 Indian Chief On The Auction Block

Fri, 19 Jul 2013

Saturday, August third is your chance to own a legend – that is if you have a spare $75,000-$125,000 laying around. That’s the price range Steve McQueen’s 1946 Indian Chief is expected to fetch during Auctions America‘s first ever SoCal event, in Burbank, CA. Documented by the McQueen Certificate of Authenticity that the bike was acquired after the actor’s death at the estate auction held in Las Vegas in 1984, the Chief was fully restored in the early 1990s.

Polaris Reports Q1 2012 Results

Wed, 18 Apr 2012

Polaris Industries reported a 44% increase in on-road vehicle sales revenue and a 40% increase in North American Victory Motorcycle unit sales over the first quarter of 2012. According to Polaris’ first quarter report, its on-road vehicle division (which consists of the Victory and Indian motorcycle brands as well as electric vehicle brands GEM and Goupil) generated $64.7 million in sales revenue, compared to $44.9 million reported in the same quarter of 2011. Of course, the Polaris didn’t yet own Indian, GEM or Goupil during that quarter last year, so the figures are a bit misleading.
