The Indian MM5A, often just called the Indian Mini Mini, has the distinction of being the smallest Indian motorcycle ever made. As the story goes, one of the ill-fated revivals of the Indian Motorcycle brand in the ’60s decided to bring in a line of minibikes targeted at kids. Apparently the theory was that if they got hooked on motorcycling at a young age and developed undying brand loyalty for Indian, that they may grow up to buy some of the bigger bikes Indian was selling. There’s no telling if this strategy would have worked as Indian went bankrupt in 1977 before any of the young Indian MM5A riders could reach adulthood, but curiously the modern incarnation of Indian has just released their own As with The Indian MM5A was an ideal starter bike for children, many kids raced them with great success. Indian intended the MM5A Mini to be ridden by younger children, some so young they hadn’t yet mastered the art of riding a bicycle, so it could be ordered with optional training wheels. When fitted to the swingarm these training wheels would still allow the bike to lean up to 25º in corners. In order to ensure that these kids weren’t going to be able to seriously hurt themselves a very small intake was used to limit the amount of fuel and air getting into the engine on each stroke. This could be easily remedied by parents who were handy with the tools of course, and this adjustability of the power output helped to keep the bikes relevant to kids as they got older and more cap...

It’s an age-old question in America – or it was, at least, until Indian threw in the towel in 1953. But now it’s back again, ever since Polaris bought Indian and started cranking out modern new versions in 2013 (based upon its nearly 20 years experience building Victory motorcycles). Either way, both Harley-Davidson and Indian are genuine USA royalty, right up there with Coca-Cola, Levis and the Trump Organization – and as such, both enjoy an authenticity that non-native brands can only envy when it comes to penetrating the American market. Here are some things to consider if you’ve decided to take the plunge. Though both Indian and Harley-Davidson are accepted in polite American biker society, Indian is still the new-money upstart, and as such, is not as universally embraced by the old guard. Some even look down their noses at the newcomer, aghast at the fact that the Indian name was besmirched many times after the original Indian factory in Springfield, Massachusetts, ceased production in 1953. The 60-year lapse in lineage between then and when Polaris began building all-original new Indians in 2013 is seen by some purists as a black mark against Indian’s reputation. Some claim that the company’s including “since 1901” on its bikes and marketing materials is an aggression that shall not stand, man. Harley-Davidson, on the other hand, has been cranking bikes out of Milwaukee since 1903 pretty much non-stop, in spite of a few near-death experiences along the way, and is pr...
