Indian was one of the two great motorcycle manufacturers in the USA together with Harley Davidson, producing mainly large capacity Vee Twins very often for use by the armed forces and the police. Based in Springfield Massachusetts from 1901 to 1953, the works team took the first three places in the 1911 Isle of Man TT race, and during the 1910s became the largest manufacturer of motorcycles in the world. Struggling to compete after WW2, they were initially taken over by Brookhouse Engineering and produced several hybrid models, mainly based on similar bikes made by Royal Enfield in the UK before eventually, becoming part of the AMC group in the early 1960s.
This New York Police Department bike is essentially a late 1950s Royal Enfield Constellation built in Redditch and then shipped to the USA to be modified to NYPD specification. It has been part of the display at the National Motorcycle Museum for a number of years and is now being offered for sale at no reserve to make space for a planned feature workshop in Hall 3. A great opportunity to acquire a fantastic looking bike that will be a talking point at any gathering of motorcycle enthusiast, it has been stood for a while on display so will need recommissioning before use and will be supplied with a current V5C.
