Indian Mortorcycles Rise of the Dead

[PHATDAD]

Ok, according to Ironworks magazine (July 2008) a UK company called Stellican, Ltd. has bought the intellectual rights to Indian Motorcycles and will soon be producing Indians at the price of $30,000 a shot. Well, (even though I lost my job to them) I am wondering where the Chinese entrepreneurs are? I would love to buy an Indian Chief for $3,995.

Indian has been tossed around like an old shoe. Didn't some boat company buy the rights a few years ago?

Somehow, I don't believe there will be much of a market at 30 big ones. It will be a niche bike and they won't make it. You have to sell volume and price. Indian has neither. Triumph is struggling to get away from that status, especially here in this country.
