His is a relatively new modle in the 2000s. Its a real Indian though made by Indian not s&s or anything like that. Its a classy ride.
The bike could be a Gilroy (what I affectionately refer to as a Killjoy) made between '99-'03 or the new one made in N. Carolina starting in '06 I think it was. Either way I'd MUCH rather ride the Harley over the Indian. Don't get me wrong... the Indian is one of the prettiest bikes ever made imho, but... BUT it stops there. The Killjoys (if that's what your friend had) had terrible paint and chrome and when they did end up using the Powerplus motor it was typically good for less then 10,000 miles. The latest Indians use a much improved Powerplus but the bike in general is terrible. TERRIBLE!!
Your friend made a good choice, smart fellow!
Live to love, love to live.
