Indian Dakota Four or Four In-line Cylinders

Indian the famous American motorcycle brand was re-invented in Edinburgh, England. By Alan Forbes, the builder of the four in-line cylinder motorcycles. These bikes are a new replica of the famous four in-line air cooled engines. The design and the technology used in the process of building these cool bikes has evolved greatly since the unveiling of the first prototypes in 1999. Today the 1845cmc engine has a power of 110 Hp and a torque of nothing less then 201Nm at 3750 rpm and a weight of 350kg. The Dakota Four (one of the bike's name) is, despite the nostalgic classical look, a modern piece of work equipped with an electronic fuel injection kit and braking discs of 320mm in diameter. But all good things come with a price: “The Dakota Four” in its version “Classic Deluxe” costs 27 000 euros. Exclusivity has its price…

Edinburgh's in Scotland, not England - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edinburgh . You should visit - it's a beautiful city.
