1.10.17 Due in about 10 weeks The Warrior 500cc twin was indian Motorcycle Companies last new model released in 1950. In 1951 they sold 860 examples of this great little parallel twin. For a bike sold in these quantities you would expect to see quite a few of them around but like many things common in days gone by these bikes are not often seen especially in this kind of condition. This bike also won 3rd prize in one of the AMCA swapmeets which judges the standard of the restoration relative to the original specification right down to the last nut and bolt. Soyou can see its a very high uality resttoration. Introduced in 1949, Indian's line of modular-engined standard motorcycles included the parallel twin 249 Scout.The 249 Scout was replaced by the larger-engined 250 Warrior the next year. The 1949 Scout Model 249 had a 436 cc (26.6 cu in) vertical twin, with a bore and stroke of 2 3⁄8 in × 3 in (60 mm × 76 mm).To better compete with European 500 cc (31 cu in) class twins, the same engine was enlarged to 500 cc, introduced in 1951 as the Warrior.
