Classic Bikes
Some of the most interesting, groundbreaking, or just plain weird motorcycles that have appeared in the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum.
Featured Classic:
1941 Indian Four Police Special
A cop on a motorcycle.
There was a time when that image was as American as apple pie.
In the early years of the 20th century, most police departments relied heavily on foot patrols, bicycles and horses. But as motor-vehicle use became more commonplace, the need to enforce traffic laws and track down criminals in fast-moving cars forced many departments to update their fleets.
The obvious choice in many areas of the country was to purchase motorcycles.
