Quick Review by Maxabout Team

Indian is a motorcycle manufacturing company of America which was founded in 1901 by 'George M. Hendee' and 'Carl Oscar Headstrom' and had their headquarters in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA.

The company remained quite successful and popular in its early years but manufactured two famous motorcycles of that age, 'Scout' and 'Chief'. But, the company went bankrupt in 1953 and since then many companies tried to perpetuate the name but had little or no success. Polaris Industries purchased it in 2011and relocated the headquarters to merge with their existing facilities in Minnesota and Iowa.
