Indian 441 De Luxe Four 1265cc 1941

Indian's first Four rolled out in 1928, derived from the Ace four-cylinder design, which itself had roots back to the Henderson inline-four. Engineering improvements were soon undertaken as Indian put its own stamp on the motor. By 1938 the powerplant was essentially in its final from but the stylists would take one more swing in 1940, adding plunger rear suspension, 16-inch balloon tires and those sweeping valanced fenders to arrive at a motorcycle shape for the ages. After 1942, the Four was no more as production ceased during WWII and never resumed due to costs.

This exquisite bike has been completely restored in the 80-s by the well known motorcycle engineer Willy Müller. The motorcycle was originally sold to Switzerland. The last picture is from a classic motorcycle magazine from 1986.
