In a rare find in the dark recesses of a California Desert Bob T. motorcycle historian, found this rare Indian sales brochure. We bring it to you exclusively in Bandit's Cantina.
Since I couldn't find a year mentioned I called our Bikernet Historian, Don Whalen, of Sierra Madre Motorcycles in Pasadena California, and waited for Don to check out these rare images.
Here's what Don had to say: Looks like about 1927 considering the line up. Note that there is no in-line four yet (1928 the first four was released). There is a Prince which was only available from '25 thru '28. So I think 1927 is a safe bet.
At the time Indian was the largest motorcycle mfg in the world with the largest dealer network…..but that was all about to change.–Don Whalen
