This officially licensed 120th-anniversary edition of Indian Motorcycle tells the complete story of Indian Motorcycle, America's first mass-produced motorcycle maker, from its start as a bicycle manufacturer to the purchase of the brand by Polaris Industries in 2011 and the subsequent new Indian motorcycles—updated to include new photography, the story of the latest models, including the FTR1200, Chieftain, Challenger, and Roadmaster, and Indian Motorcycle's return to racing.

In the early years of the 20th century, Indian Motorcycle dominated the world's racetracks and showrooms, earning the brand a worldwide reputation for quality, performance, reliability, and technical innovation with such classic machines as the Chief, Scout, and Four. But the once-mighty company fell on hard times and, in 1953, was forced to file bankruptcy.

The Indian Motorcycle brand never quite died, however, thanks in large part to fanatically devoted enthusiasts who tried to resurrect it for over half a century. Finally, Polaris, maker of the highly regarded Victory brand of motorcycles, purchased the brand and released the Chief and Scout models that once again restored Indian Motorcycles to their rightful place in the motorcycle pantheon.

Indian Motorcycle is this classic American motorcycle's most complete and up-to-date history.
