The Indian 111

[Kirkus51]

I think this is a good engine animation too..... and, forgive me, a cool looking engine to boot.

looks to be a good engine but they will probably put it in another heavy weight posser bike
how about another Sport Scout??

I wish I could afford to add this poser bike to my stable.

zero interest
I'm only 64 years old; not old enough for a cruiser yet

Fair enough. I'd rather have this http://www.motoguzzi-us.com/motorcycles/california-1400-custom.html over the Indian any day.

I will also pass on this behemoth.

sweet ride
I had a 1983 850 LeMans so I'm partial to the V7 special
I already have a 50HP twin, 1985 BMW R80, so I don't need another

If I were making that engine I would try my hardest not to emphasize that it's a spruced up 100 year old technological marvel.

Very cool animation. I'm confident Polaris will do a better job with the Indian marque than Stellican did. The writing was on the wall for Stellican /Indian when they chose to run their "champagne campaign."

Another "lifestyle" motor in the making that equates into high dollars for a pushrod, tappet valve motor. I want to be inmpressed but it seems to be more "choices" cut from the same cloth...

enough of this crap: where is Triumph's single???
maybe they will make a 47hp twin instead to meet the Euro restrictions
500? 650?

The KTM 390 Duke fits those specs, I'm not a fan of the styling, but I do like the exposed frame.

transformers? (not the electric type)

I don't see the draw to 100 year old engine design, unless it's in a 100 year old bike.

I may be wrong, but I believe it is the Indian marque that is 100+ years old, not the particular bike or engine design itself. They simply incorporate some historical design elements to give it a nostalgic appeal. I enjoy a sense of history and nostalgia myself, which is a large part of what initially attracted me to the Bonneville.

But that's just me.

[Baltobonneville]

Aren't many of us riding Triumph bikes with 50+ year old engine design? Is the pot calling the kettle black?

Twin overhead cams.

 

[Baltobonneville]

Okay, 40-year old engine design. :d

 

[thearcticsea]

That's more like it. Haha
