KenB Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I've always thought this was one of the most innovative motorcycles. The Chief 841. Transverse engine, shaft drive. WAY AHEAD of its time. I'd really like to see the new Indian do something like this... at least try it out and see if there's a market for it.
