Buying A Used Indian® Motorcycle

 

As America’s first motorcycle company, Indian Motorcycle® has been around since 1897. Originally named the Hendee Manufacturing Company, it has come a long way in the past century and has become one of the top-mentioned names in the industry. If you’re looking to purchase a bike and save money, used Indian Motorcycle® bikes are a good place to start. Since they are well-constructed and reliable, these bikes are one of the best options available on the market. At North County Indian Motorcycles, we carry a wide range of inventory. Please read more below, then visit us in San Marcos, CA to see what we have to offer.

 

The Tale of the Brand

When George Hendee, founder of Indian Motorcycle®, partnered with Oscar Hedstrom, they created three prototype motorcycles that led to the invention of the 1.75 BHP single-cylinder engine. This engine became an immediate success and tremendously boosted sales for the company. In 1902, the first Indian® model was released. A year later, the company set its first world record for motorcycle speed. 

 

Many Models Made For You

While it’s tempting for new riders to splurge on the latest models after hearing about the company’s greatness, most new buyers can find some peace and plenty of savings in purchasing an older Indian Motorcycle® model. There are plenty of styles to try out, such as the Scout and the Chief Vintage. When you become accustomed to the way these motorcycles are built, you’ll feel more confident with your next purchase.

 

The biggest benefit of purchasing a used Indian® motorcycle might just be the savings. New motorcycles cost a bit, and even more to insure. Plus, riders who aren’t accustomed to handling their new bike might experience some scratches and dings. Used bikes are the perfect canvas for these minor errors, as their values do not dramatically drop with each scratch. It’s a lot easier to love your first bike when you don’t have to treat it like royalty all the time. 
 

Inspect It Before You Buy It

Before committing to your used Indian® motorcycle purchase, you should have a trustworthy mechanic inspect it. They should look over everything, from the fuel tank to the tires. Let the engine run and listen for odd noises. Take it for a test drive if you’re not sure how it handles. After all, the initial inspection isn’t only about what is wrong, but also if it feels right.
