AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Indian - 402 - 1265cc - 1929
American four-cylinder superbike
Patina and original paint from a century ago.
The motorcycle is running perfectly.
The incredible recent discovery in Germany has given rise to a collection of Bohemian documents, poignant for their preservation and historical value, representing Europe in 1941, amid the full-scale World War.
The rear gear is missing.
In 1927, Indian purchased the entire assets of the famous motorcycle company ACE. Indian continued to produce the Indian-ACE four-cylinder until 1928, when the Indian Four took its place.
The 1265 cc engine had overhead intake valves and side exhaust valves, and, by the late 1920s, produced about 30 hp. About ten years later, the power had risen to about 40 hp.
The Indian Four of 1929–31 shares most of its chassis components with the elegant 101 Scout model: it is a low motorcycle, pleasantly aerodynamic, with the added benefit of smooth and quiet propulsion, akin to that of an automobile engine.
The successor to the Indian-Ace, the 'Series 401', remained in production until 1929 and was then replaced by the 'Series 402'.
The DA engine number indicates the 401 model with 3 crankshaft bearings. The 402 model with 5 crankshaft bearings starts with the engine number EA. The crankcase may be a Henderson from 1918/1919.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
