Thunder stroke 111. Cool name.

Guess they will be another replica styled Indian looking at the engine's styling. The say more power/grunt that the HD's.

At least this time there is mega $ behind the name.

Its the coolest thing ever.

Watching that promo vid, they are certainly taking on HD head on.

111 cubic inches I presumed, or 1890 odd cc

Thud, thud, thud, thud. No potato potato!

The Indian brand is 112 years old, if the engine was 112ci there would be a marketing tie-in right there.

Munro special is way cool. need to see it doing at least one good run.

Cool name for an Engine,,
but gotta love the Streamliner's name.. Spirit of Munro..... even if it does top 200mph, Burt's old record will still 'stand' in it's CC class.
Would be a fitting tribute and fresh start for the 'new' Indian to prove itself in that way.


The Yamaha 'Star' brand already out 'honks' the HD's, the Stratoliner has around 100bhp, I and I think is close to the MT-01's Torque figures, it may even be higher.

Mum has a 1912 BSA in the shed.

"one good run" :facepalm:

Was probably 110 when they started the project. Good to see a fresh sheet of paper for the engine design rather than the Harley clone of the last incarnation.
