INDIAN MOTORCYCLE RETURNS, STRONGER THAN EVER

2011 AND BEYOND

The 2010’s have been a decade full of exciting development and growth for Indian Motorcycle. Revitalized by the company’s acquisition by Polaris Industries in 2011, Indian Motorcycle has since rejoined the trail blazed by the company’s early pioneers in the first half of the 20th century. The present-day Indian Motorcycle Company combines high-performing technological innovation, rewarding partnerships, and an ever-expanding lineup of authentic, iconic bikes.

Resuming the company’s legacy as a firm supporter of the military, Indian Motorcycle launched a multi-year partnership with Veteran’s Charity Ride (VCR) to Sturgis in 2015. The VCR is a non-profit organization that dedicates itself to providing healing experiences for wounded, severely injured, and amputee veterans from all branches of service.
