The new indian mfg looks like they're going back to the classic engine config and away from the V-Twin. Actually it looks (the engine) a lot like the rocket III. It's an inline six I think.



For Indian, the V2 is the classic engine. That and a couple of singles, 23 and 30.50 inch as best I can remember. When the Henderson brothers closed up their factory in the 30's, Hendie hired them to develop an inline 4 for Indian, but it never sold as well as the twins.
The *HOT* bike back then was a Henderson or Indian 4 with a 4 cylinder Plymouth engine. Chevy 4's were too tall and Fords tended to overheat and didn't even have as much power as the stock bike engine.
