Ooops, wrong continent.

Not really. In the late 1940s-1950s, Indian picked up the owner of the British Royal Enfield marque as an investor, who rebadged some of the Britbikes as Indians and flogged them in the USA as *starter bikes* to less financially endowed purchasers, particularly first-bike buyers who might have found an eighty-inch Indian Chief a bit much for their first time out. Most observers feel the British financial interest did the Indian cause no good, and may have actually contributed to the demise of the American firm, though the combination had certain possibilities.
But the Royal Enfield marque lived on in production of the old design, more or less unchanged in India, and those bikes are now doing rather well in the retro-bike niche market. And that earlier Indian-Enfield connection has not gone unnoticed, either....
