Indian 1915 V Twin 1000cc

[@Andreschannel_SA]

Oh how lovely to listen to proper English about an American motorcycle. On top of that, also no irritating music to block out the narration and no over dramatising of the information. Thank you so much.

[@hoxtonmoto]

Thanks for the view

I'm late to the party as ever. Many moons ago I owned a Norton 16h B4. This Indian, which predates the Norton by nearly 40 years, looks to be superior in almost every department! A real beauty, thanks for sharing.

[@hoxtonmoto]

Couldn't agree more. Thanks for comment.

[@ShadowACE1998]

Awesome bike. From the days that Indian was a forward looking company with a bend towards innovation. Indian was the king of American motorcycles until 1936 when Harley-Davidson started production of the overhead valve V-twin knucklehead. After that it was all downhill for Indian. To be fair Indian did try to innovate after WWII, but the machines didn't run well. Now those bikes are looked fondly on in a "ahead of their time" kind of way, but at the time they did more to hurt the company. I can understand why women would admire the bike. Indians were always made with a sense of style all the way to the end.

Harley won with torque of 45 degree cylinders. Indians 22 degree cylinders lost them government contracts. The new Polaris Indians are great!

[@camgere]

Common compression ratios in this day were around 4:1. Kettering at GM came up with tetraethyl lead additives that allowed for "high compression" engines, maybe 7:1, around 1921. Unfortunately TEL is highly poisonous and was later removed from gasoline. But it did provide for huge performance increases that we all know and love. Unpaved roads were quite common in 1915. They didn't call them "adventure bikes".

"this is not a bike for the faint-hearted it's so exciting I have had some experience of riding it and without that experience you could get into trouble. anybody who persevered and had good anticipation would really get the thrill that I get from this bike" Judging by the video, you will need not just good anticipation but the ability to foresee the future.

[@nikhomshaweeriyha9913]

[@shanehnorman]

Beautiful bike, with a sweet-sounding engine. I assume it was a descendant of this machine that powered Burt Munro to the naturally-aspirated under-1,000cc world speed record at Bonneville in 1967, a record that still stands.

[@katherinehunter9526]

I believe that Burt Munro had a great deal to do with these bikes. He was the God of Speed. ✌❤🇨🇦

[@pashakdescilly7517]

Burt Munro's bike was a 1920 Scout, a much smaller bike. It was side valve and 600cc

[@shanehnorman]

@@pashakdescilly7517 His achievement was all the more remarkable, then. Do you know how he enlarged his engine to 950cc? Did he use barrels from a larger engine? Find it hard to believe the originals could have been overbored by that much!

[@pashakdescilly7517]

@@shanehnorman Burt cast his own heads and barrels. He also made cranks, rods, and pretty much everything else... by 1960 there was little left of the 1920 engine but the crank-cases. I haven't checked the numbers, but I understand that the Indian streamliner in Invercargill New Zealand (E Hayes department store) has the original frame (rather heavily modified), the original crank-cases, and the original gearbox cases. Just not much else from the bike he bought new in 1920. BTW Burt's record still stands - as a mark of respect for Burt, they retired the category he held the record for. It's not that his record could not be beaten, the record-breaking community just isn't going to do so.

[@pashakdescilly7517]

@@shanehnorman Burt got the side-valve 600cc bike to do 90mph by 1938. Then he made an ohv conversion, making the casting patterns himself. It took a while to do 90 on the ohv-converted bike. Around 1950 the flywheels gave trouble, and he made his first new crankset and rods. It was later that he expanded the capacity of the engine, reaching that 950cc level in the mid '60s. Burt's achievements are all the more remarkable for the minimal equipment he had.

would love to hear more technical details of this machine, made not too far from my current residence, I know the Indian / Harley rivalry was huge and a late friend told me the Indians would rev easier but the Harleys higher or something along those lines, also when I would brag about the speed of my small Honda , he would comment that it must have had a Harley speedo. and as such exaggerated .
