Indian Bobcat description

No Reserve Auction for a rare Indian "Bobcat" Mini-Bike.  This machine was passed along from an estate where it had been 90% (+/-) restored by the previous owner before he passed away.  It's my understanding that Mr. Floyd Clymer commissioned the development of the "Bobcat" in an attempt to determine if a market existed here in North America for a 100cc powered mini-bike so a very limited number of these "Bobcat" model variants were built using the 100cc Franco Moto Morini engine.  Unfortunately, these little scoots were determined to be too powerful and as such were never fully developed into a production intent model variant.  I have no paperwork on this little "Bobcat" so what you see is what you get.  I will be glad to provide a Bill of Sale for the buyer.  The engine turns over with very good compression and the transmission shifts through the gears.  The front brake needs to be connected and feels like it drags a bit.  The Pirelli tires appear to be original but the wheels & spokes were professionally re-plated.  The frame has been powder coated and the fuel tank wet-painted.  Again, this is a partially restored motorcycle so for safety's sake, the buyer will need to examine all mechanical and electrical aspects of this machine prior to riding it...or simply put it on display in your collection. 

Additional high resolution pictures are available upon request.  Please ask questions prior to bidding...Everyone is welcome to bid however I ask that if you do have zero feedback and are sincere to please contact me via email.  Include your phone number so that I may call you to confirm your bid is legitimate. 

Please review the tab labeled "Payment" to learn more about the terms, conditions and shipping information pertaining to this auction.


Thank you for your interest and good luck bidding...!

Indian Announces Removal of Brake Throttle Override

Sat, 02 Aug 2014

Today, Indian Motorcycle Product Director, Gary Gray, told us that, because of feedback from journalists and the riding public, effective immediately, the Brake Throttle Override (BTO) system developed to prevent unintended acceleration in its ride-by-wire throttle system will not be installed on any of the 2015 Indian models. Additionally, owners of a current Indian who wish to have the BTO disabled on their motorcycle can simply take it to an Indian dealer to have its ECU flashed with the new software. Although the BTO has been present on all Indian models since their release last year, we first noticed its effects on a group ride at the Roadmaster’s introduction.

Hero Moto Unveils Leap Hybrid Scooter Concept, Claims 235 MPG

Indian manufacturer and former Honda partner Hero MotoCorp has unveiled a new hybrid scooter prototype at the 2012 Auto Expo in New Delhi. The Hero Leap runs on a series hybrid powertrain with the battery-powered electric motor providing most of the power and the gasoline engine acting as a range extender, charging the battery and supplying power when the battery runs low. Hero claims fuel economy of up to 100 km/l, which translates to an eye-popping 235 mpg.
