Indian Motorcycle is one of the oldest motorcycle brands, even pre-dating the other US motorcycle brand. Indian began in 1901 as Hendee Manufacturing Company, based in Springfield, Massachusetts. It name was subsequently changed to Indian Motorcycle Company in 1923.
The manufacturer came to prominence in the 1911 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy race, becoming the very first maker to win all first three places.
However, the company stopped operating in 1953.
In 2011, Polaris Industries acquired the brand and marketed it side-by-side with their own existing brand, Victory. Victory was later dropped as Polaris concentrated all resources on Indian.
