; n*- - ■ I li H’ 1 -A* —“’l 'o' H I f * •V ■* »•>- —J \\\ Jll r Indian Two-Speed Models 1914 will be a tvyo-speed year. While other manufacturers are sweepingly exploiting two-speeds as the very latest advance in the art, it is well to remember that the Indian Motocycle two-speed is entering its fifth consecutive year of service and has qualified for its name. There are 15,000 Indian two-speed models on the road more than all other multi-speed motorcycles of other makes combined. The; Indian two- speed has won its popularity and created the present insistent demand for this feature because it has proved its superiority under all road and touring conditions.
