1908 Indian Motorcycle
This 1908 Indian Torpedo Tank board track racer was displayed at the Legend of the Motorcycle show in Half Moon Bay, CA, in May, ’08. That’s right, it’s 100 years old and in original condition. A true, unrestored “barn find”, it won the Best of Show award. Check out my other videos, and please leave a comment. I’d like to hear from you.

@michelinman8592 Four stroke. Prolly not as fast as100 mph, but maybe.
@michelinman8592
I'm pretty sure all Indian motorcycles were 4-strokes… Those pieces of shite from the 1970s don't count.
103 years old now, damn!
you`ll never have ANY of the modern pos bikes last a century
thats awesome love vintaage stuff imagine riding this back then imagine how cool it was back then cause its still cool now :)
1 person doesn't appreciate a great piece of motorcycle history
man i could listen to that thing run for minutes
look up goerge kavassilas
board track raceing was a very deadly sport in it's day…
going 50mph on that must seem so fast…
great to see its still running after all these years
@SourdoughMusk I believe the size is 1,000 cc (61 ci).
Is the seat position an after thought, looks like tank takes presidence ? Does it have an oil pump or is gravity fed ? JOHNB. – N.Y.C.

@woodshuck It's true.

Nice!! I love that loud sounds….
wow
love the sound!!! top speed near 45,don't know
I love this so!!!
the first motorcycles ever where technically mopeds
totally awesome ! I would love to build a sweet replica of that
Imagine the looks you get riding this down the road.
The slowest bike i ever had only went 27 miles an hour. Many impatient people got angered by that bike. And i though i would have to defend myself a few times from those scum people who think they own the world and the roads they drive on. The truth is, the governments own us all, so no reason to get mad because your driving to slow. ;)
Probably the best machine ever built for at least three decades compared to all gas powered forms of transportation extremely nice..
'These bikes were around 5 horsepower and would average about 60mph in fast race.'
In other words, about the same as a new prius.
Beautiful! Wipe it down with some #2 diesel fuel once a week or so, and DON"T RESTORE IT!!!!

Great to see these old motorcycles. Really reminds you that they started off as bicycles with engines on it. Really cool.

my buddy Vince the REAL king of all American pickers!
They always start them up but never ride them.
