- February 20, 2013, 21:38:28 PMLast year I talked to Mike Tomas of kiwi talking bout their 101 chout (a 1920's 101 scout frame with a 40's chief engine) design.
Delivered, about $30 something thousand.
This is what I would buy if I win the lottery.
I just love the look, and just have to have one one day

- February 20, 2013, 18:54:06 PMI keep wondering how they are going to sell enough of those bikes to stay in buisness at the price. Im betting they are gonna fold and loose just like before when they were asking like 23,000 per bike.

- February 08, 2013, 19:55:52 PMI agree with you MD, on the Kiwi Indian. Yes, Teamster6, those jugs are tall; that is the "bottle-top" (so called due to how the rocker covers resemble a bottle cap) engine, the "Power-plus produced by Indian in their later years. Definitely overpriced; a Kiwi Indian is MUCH more bang for the buck. (IMHO)

- February 08, 2013, 15:11:27 PMA friend of mine sent me this pic from a bike show in maryland. The cylinders look really high not like a real indian. Side by side I would say the drifter looks alot more like the original with the lower styled cylinders.

- February 08, 2013, 13:31:19 PMI cant believe those INdians are going for that kind of money. Well I guess I could buy at least 8 or 9 drifters for that kind of money and ride forever ha ha
