2012 Indian Chief Blackhawk And Blackhawk Dark Models Special Edition

It began in Springfi eld, Massachusetts, 110 years ago.. George Hendee, a champion bicycle racer, and Oscar Hedstrom, a gifted inventor, gave America its first production motorcycle. They distilled into that bike everything that was great about America a desire for freedom, a love of open spaces and a pioneering attitude. You could swing your leg over the machine they created and ride off on it into the sunset. Today, 110 years after the fi rst Indian Motorcycle came to life, those legendary motorcycles that graced the highways and lonely back roads of the greatest country on earth, have been reborn.
