Indian Motorcycle Racing will utilize a proprietary new liquid-cooled 750cc V-Twin competition engine
Indian Motorcycle, America's first motorcycle company, is proud to announce its re-entry into the
AMA Pro Flat Track series with its first full-factory racing effort since the 1950s.
AMA Pro Flat Track is highly competitive and has evolved into a demanding, technical and specialized
event that typically sees bar-to-bar action and sublime motorcycle control at high speeds on varied dirt
surfaces.
The Indian Motorcycle Racing Team will contest the series with an all-new and proprietary liquidcooled
750cc four-valve V-Twin competition engine specifically designed for flat track and engineered
into a specially built chassis.
Indian Motorcycle has a significant history in flat track, at one time dominating the sport with
legendary riders and motorcycles. Perhaps best-known was the Indian Motorcycle Wrecking Crew,
consisting of Bill Tuman, Bobby Hill and Ernie Beckman, who won race after race and carried the
message of power, balance and quality that lives on in today's Indian Scout.
Multi-time AMA Grand National Champion Jared Mees will join the Indian Motorcycle Racing Team as a
test rider in 2016. Mees, 30, won the AMA Grand National Twins Championship in 2009, AMA Grand
National Singles Championship in 2012, the unified AMA Grand National Championship (GNC1) title in
2012, 2014 and 2015, and is a current X Games gold medalist.
"We are very excited to return to the AMA Circuit," says Steve Menneto, President of Motorcycles for
Polaris Industries. "We have established the new Indian Chief and Scout series as the cornerstones of
our production line-up, and now is the time for us to return to racing in a big way. We know that fans
of Indian Motorcycle have been anticipating this announcement and can't wait to see Indian Racing
back in action."
