1941 Indian 441 Four w/factory sidecar

I have reluctantly decided to pass on my 1941 Four 441 to the next custodian. Without doubt, the finest motorcycle that I have ever stood next to in my life.

Obtained from the family of the original owner, this is the history as I know it. Purchased new by a machinist that worked at the Indian Plant while these bikes were in production. He rode, restored and maintained the bike. 138 miles on the rebuild, purrs like a kitten and runs smooth as silk. Clear title in hand. Located in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

Bike and sidecar are all original with matching numbers. I have swapped out a few parts, but have the original parts boxed up to go with the bike. I put on a black porcelain exhaust manifold, new bulb in the headlamp, fuel tank petcocks, etc.

Bike has no welds, repairs, dents, broken fins, leaks, or any issues. All matching factory numbers on engine-frame. Factory correct parts.

Production numbers for the Four were always limited compared to Indian’s Chief and Scout twins, and with the cessation of civilian motorcycle production for wartime in 1942, the Indian Four would never return. As such, the 1940–1942 machines represent the final chapter of American inline four-cylinder production motorcycles, making them particularly desirable among serious collectors.

Today, the 1941 Model 441 stands as one of the most prestigious and collectible pre-war American motorcycles, prized for its engineering, smooth performance, and unmistakable presence. Whether displayed in a prominent collection or enjoyed on vintage tours, the Indian Four remains one of the most rewarding classic motorcycles to own.

A rare opportunity to acquire one of the most elegant American motorcycles ever produced—an enduring symbol of Indian’s engineering ambition and pre-war luxury motorcycling.
