40 Greatest Military Motorcycles

39. 1914 Indian Hendee Special

Speaking of Pancho Villa, here he is a top his 1914 Indian Hendee Special. It was on this motorcycle he captured the town of Torreon during a raid in 1914. Because of this, the United States military enlisted motorcycles to help with the war effort (as we just mentioned). So, whether you consider him to be a liberator or an outlaw, one thing is certain. Pancho Villa is credited with getting the army to enlist motorcycles as part of the military war effort. Incidentally, Pancho happens to own one of the few Indian motorcycles equipped with an electric starter. Only 200 of them were produced.
