Indian PowerPlus Standard 1924 side valve V- twin Engine # 70X214

The hugely popular PowerPlus, a 61 cu.in. (998cc) flathead V-twin appeared in 1916. The side-valve engine of the PowerPlus proved utterly reliable and almost unbreakable and the model enjoyed a nine year production run. By the early twenties the Chief and Big Chief had taken up the position of the PowerPlus in the Indian range. In the 1922 catalogue the PowerPlus was referred to as the “Special” and in 1923 the model got a wider and more modern looking front mud- guard. It was then christened “Standard”. The days of the venerable Powerplus were almost numbered; in 1924 it was last mentioned in the sales literature.

The model we present here was built for the English market, it has the kick starter on the right hand side. The machine is an older restoration and is electrically equipped. This final-year PowerPlus is in good overall condition and is equipped with Corbin speedometer.
