Bring back the old Indians and I'd be very happy.

Concur. Building the new ones to take a reworked Harley design motor was the wrong way to fly entirely. But an improvemant over the old Roadmaster 80" Chief flathead engine is indeed indicated, and there are a couple of real swell possibilities. That said, I'm happy starting with a chassis built in the year I was born and going on from there, but that's not an option for younger riders.

If you look closely at the Blue Chief, you will see that it's not an Indian motor in there....that would be a Vincent Rapide motor.....a Vindian.

That might be one of the machines constructed as a design exercise the first time Indian was going to be resurrected (by Floyd Clymer, if I recall correctly).
