The'27 Indian motorcycle line-up included the Indian Scout, the Indian Chief and the Indian Ace. Any'27 Indian motorcycle would be considered historic because'27 was the year Indian took the assets of the Ace Motorcycle Company and started producing what would become the Indian Four...
1927 was a remarkable year when a number of things happened together. The first talking movie called The Jazz Singer, with Al Jolson was released. Next incident that took place was trans-Atlantic flight of Charles Lindbergh to Paris. Finally Babe Ruth hit his 60th home run in a 8 innings game between New York and Washington with Louis Gehrig coming up for further battering.
1927 will go down in the history as the year which saw the tremendous increase of Jazz culture though the farmers were having a tough time and sold out their farms to become tenant farmers for others. This year was also a good year for Indian Motorcycle Company.
Not only were its top models, the Scout and the Chief, selling well, the company also acquired the assets of the Ace Motorcycle Company. Ace's top of the line bike was the four cylinder machine that Indian made for one year under the name "Indian Ace." Afterwards, this large, lush bike would be called the Indian Four.
The Indian Four that started out as the Indian Ace evolved by'41 into a 77 cubic inch (1,256 cc) four cylinder machine. It had a tank-shifting three speed transmission and was dressed up in the Indian skirted fenders. Indian made few in'42, but with the start of World War II, production of the Indian Four stopped for good.
In'27, though, America and the Indian Motorcycle Company were cruising along. Police departments were buying so many Indian Scouts and Chiefs that a production facility was made just to supply law enforcement. Indian Motorcycle Company was working in'27 on a version of the Scout with a new lower frame.
In'27 the Indian Motorcycle could hardly know that by'28 its 101 Scout would be much in demand and after 40 years the same bike would acquire fame in Under-1000 cc speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats in northwest Utah.
It is difficult to find a1927 Indian Motorcycle. The existing bikes have been restored by the bike lovers to its previous shape and can be sold for $30,000. The most exciting year in the history of Indian Motorcycle Company was'27.
