Indian Motorcycle is an American manufacturer of motorcycles originally founded in 1901 in Springfield, Massachusetts, making it the oldest American motorcycle brand. The original Indian Motorcycle Company produced motorcycles until 1953 before ceasing operations. After several attempts at revival by different owners, the brand was acquired by Polaris Industries (now Polaris Inc.) in 2011, which invested substantial resources into developing an entirely new range of motorcycles bearing the Indian name. The modern Indian Motorcycle company is headquartered in Medina, Minnesota, as part of Polaris Inc., with motorcycles produced at the company's Spirit Lake, Iowa, and Opole, Poland, facilities. Indian's current lineup centers on heavyweight cruiser and touring motorcycles powered by the proprietary Thunderstroke air-cooled V-twin engine and the PowerPlus liquid-cooled V-twin engine. The touring range includes the Indian Pursuit and Indian Roadmaster, both offering luxury amenities such as heated seats, electronically adjustable windscreens, Apple CarPlay connectivity, and generous luggage capacity. The Chief and Sport Chief serve the midsize cruiser segment, while the Scout provides an accessible entry point. The Indian Challenger, powered by the PowerPlus engine, competes in the performance bagger category. The FTR is a flat-track-inspired sport bike that showcases the brand's racing heritage. Indian Motorcycle has also re-established a significant racing presence, winning multiple American Flat Track championships and competing in the King of the Baggers series. The brand operates through a global dealer network and maintains a loyal community of riders drawn to its blend of American heritage and modern engineering.
