Though Indian Motorcycle has been off the radar for quite a few years, Polaris Industries is bringing back the name in a big way. Having purchased the Indian Motorcycle Manufacturing Company three years ago, in 2013 they began producing the iconic motorcycles once again, and approached Headingley Sport Shop Ltd. about carrying the line. “We were honoured when Polaris approached us to take on this iconic line,” says Mitch Ruth, co-owner of Headingley Sport Shop. “We feel it’s a great fit to what we are already doing with other motorcycle lines in our store and the addition of Indian motorcycles will only enhance and strengthen the relationships we have developed with many Manitoba motorcyclists. The Indian motorcycle line attracts the enthusiast who respects fine workmanship and wants a product that has more to offer than anything else he or she has been able to purchase in recent years.” The exclusive dealer for not only the city of Winnipeg, but also for Saskatchewan and Northwestern Ontario, the dealership has secured the name “Indian Motorcycles of Winnipeg., Headingley, MB.”

Prior to Polaris owning the brand, it struggled with underfunding and quality issues, as well as being able to keep prices to an affordable level. However, with their ownership, they hand-picked a team of engineers to redesign the bikes while maintaining the original style and heritage. If the public reaction to the new line says anything, it’s that Indian Motorcycle is here to stay. “It has been overwhelming! After the 2015 Indian motorcycle demo event in early Sept, we decided to keep a model just for people to ride,” says Ruth. “Word is out on the street and everyone who gets off that Indian Motorcycle showers it with praises. ‘What a motor, I can’t believe how smooth it is,’ ‘Wow, has that thing got power!’, ‘I love the seat, it’s so comfortable.’ There really is no other way to truly understand the power, and the smooth delivery of that power through the drive line, than by driving one. We are somewhat concerned about how we will be able to keep up with the demand next spring based on the comments we have received this fall. 

We will be working closely with the factory to secure as much inventory as we can. Exciting times for sure!” Indian Motorcycle of Winnipeg is 14,000 square feet of sales, service, parts and accessories for the entire lineup of Indian Motorcycles, including the Indian Chief Classic, Indian Chief Vintage, the Indian Chieftain, as well as the all-new Indian Roadmaster. shoei 3/4 motorcycle helmetsThey also carry a full selection of genuine Indian Motorcycle parts, accessories and apparel.wrecked motorcycles for sale in ohio All-new Indian Chief models now available for demo rides and purchase at Indian Motorcycle of Winnipeg:motorcycle deed of sale form Originally manufactured from 1947-1953 and heralded as one of motorcycling’s most comfortable and durable touring bikes, the new 2015 Roadmaster reclaims that heritage with styling that is thoroughly Indian Motorcycle and an almost endless list of premium amenities for comfort, convenience and luxury.

For rating purposes, motorcycles are divided into five categories: Motorscooter, Other, Sport, Sport Touring and Touring. Effective March 2011, motorcycles under each of the existing five body style rating categories will be sub-divided into 16 body styles. The motorcycle body styles associated with each category are shown in the table below. Trike (2 rear wheels) 3-Wheel Motorcycle(2 front wheels) Rating Category - Motor-Scooter A motor-scooter is a motorcycle with a step-through frame that generally has smaller wheels than those of a standard motorcycle.

A person can ride a motor-scooter without straddling it. A scooter that is designed to include a second independent front wheel that is used to increase ride stability. However, a motorcycle that includes two rear wheels is not a 3-wheel scooter, regardless of any other characteristic it may have. Rating Category - Other A motorcycle that is designed with a low seat height, wider rear tire, raked front forks and forward controls with the foot pegs out in front as opposed to being straight down. The design emphasizes comfort and appearance with a relaxed upright seating position, and often includes an abundance of chrome. A motorcycle for both highway and off-road use. Its design includes fenders and tires suitable for some off-road uses coupled with street safety requirements, such as mirrors and turn signal indicators. An off-road motorcycle that has been modified to meet the requirements to be registered under The Highway Traffic Act is included in this body style.

A motocross motorcycle that may be registered under The Highway Traffic Act. It features high ground clearance and increased suspension combined with minimal rider comforts. It is differentiated from a motocross motorcycle by the presence of silencers, flywheel weights and the features necessary for the on-road portion of enduro racing. A motorcycle design that combines the design of a motocross and an enduro motorcycle. It is fitted with road racing tires while keeping the other features synonymous with off-road machines. These motorcycles are designed and marketed to compete over a racecourse that mixes road racing on tarmac with off-road sections. A motorcycle that can be registered under The Highway Traffic Act and has a body style that does not fit any of the other available motorcycle body styles. A motorcycle that is designed with a small rake and trail, and generally does not include accessories such as a windshield, saddlebags, trunk or audio entertainment system.

Rating Category - Sport A motorcycle with a design that is reduced to its basic form and stripped down to its fundamental parts. The front wheel is visible from the rider's position and the emphasis of the design is on functionality, performance and ergonomics, rather than on body panels and exaggerated riding positions that are emphasized for sport bikes. These motorcycles may also be marketed as "naked" or "street" bikes. A fast, light, sleek motorcycle that is designed for maximum performance and maneuverability. It is distinguishable from other motorcycles by its full fairing and the rider's tipped-forward seating position. Rating Category - Sport Touring A motorcycle that is designed and marketed as a combination sport, touring and off-road motorcycle. This body style is designed with the features of an on-road motorcycle capable of cruising on paved roads. It also includes big tires, a large fuel tank and a comfortable seat, as well as high ground clearance in order to traverse rough terrain easily.

A motorcycle that is designed and marketed as a hybrid between a sport and a touring motorcycle. It allows long-distance riding with more emphasis on sport-like performance in both handling and speed than a touring motorcycle. Rating Category - Touring A motorcycle that has attached to it a one wheeled sidecar. A motorcycle that is designed and marketed for long distance travel that includes such things as a large engine, ample storage, including top trunks and saddlebags, reverse gears, onboard air compressors, large fairings and windshields and amenities like cruise control, stereo audio entertainment systems, citizen band communications systems and heated seats and grips.
