Indian Motorcycles produced bikes from 1901-1953 (someone bought the name and is now making hideous monstrosities that betray the name, and look more like overdressed Harleys than anything else.). This page has some beautiful example of why the Indian look is still famous 50 years after they shut down their Springfield, MA factory. My personal fave is the '47 Indian Chief. Nobody has come close to making a motorcycle that approaches the perfection of this bike since.
