Everyone loves a great American comeback story. Once upon a time, Indian Motorcycle was a household name. Its classic styling, reliability and performance were legendary. However, when the factory in Springfield, MA, closed in the early 1950s, Indian faded into history.
Until a few years ago, that is. That’s when Polaris Industries Inc., a leading manufacturer of off-road vehicles, snowmobiles and other power sports products, resurrected the nameplate to complement its start-up Victory Motorcycles brand. It’s been pedal to the metal ever since.
