Indian Motorcycle Museum: one make, dozens of machines

In Lemmer, the collection revolves around Indian motorcycles. More than forty machines and brand-related accessories reveal differences within a single manufacturer, alongside a studio and workshop.

Variety within Indian

Do not just set the oldest and newest motorcycles side by side. Also look at the tank shape, saddle, handlebars and mudguards on machines from similar periods; small design choices show how the make developed.

Accessories provide context

The collection includes many accessories directly connected with Indian. Such items show how a brand was used and recognised beyond the motorcycle itself, from equipment to presentation and maintenance.

Studio and workshop

There is also a studio and workshop on the site. If they can be seen during your appointment, look at the tools and parts: they put the gleaming motorcycles back into the work of building, repairing and adapting.

Before you go

Saturday opening only applies if the owner is present: always phone ahead. Admission prices differ between the sources supplied.
