- If I remember correctly (flames aside), Royal Enfield bought the rights to the
- Indian *name* and used it for some Enfields (Enfield Indian) imported into
- the U.S. the exact model names I don't know. Royal Enfield did have a 750cc
- twin Interceptor in the mid/late 60's. After R-E closed it's doors, the Indian
- name was used by ???? for minibikes and small displ. dirt bikes (100/125).

- Can anyone else elaborate on Indian history ?
