- At the beginning of the last century, motorbike racers competed on oval wooden tracks, at the handlebars of super-powerful 1,000 cm3 machines.
- These machines, which represent the first true generation of motorbikes, were derived directly from bicycles, with no rear suspension and very rudimentary front suspension.
- Their engines were often V-twins (with a few exceptions) and they could be started from a pushchair. The driver had only two controls: an ignition advance and a kill switch. The ignition advance controlled the moment of spark at the spark plug and was used to accelerate.
- With no brakes, these motorbikes had to stop while riding, often with their feet on the ground to slow down.
- Among these machines, the Indian, like the replica (non-rotating) that illustrates these pages, is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful ever built. The bike probably comes from a series built ex nihilo in Argentina some thirty years ago.
