Good to see Indian back in the mix. The sport will only benefit from the spark of this old rivalry.

Ironic that Indian's design center is in Switzerland, and Guzzi's is in California. Designers must like an ocean's removal from headquarters (as Galluzzi once admitted).

I'm not sure irony is the right word for this: the new Indian racing motor has an external flywheel, like an old Guzzi! It can be changed to ones of different mass for different track conditions. I wonder if Guzzi ever did that.

Outstanding! Now, give me a spec-race series and I'd buy one just to track it around in my retirement.


Win? I just wanna run in a series with HD, Indian and Triumph!

AMA - WERA, I don't care-a.
