American Indian model Powerplus. This is a 1000cc side valve motorcycle from 1917. A rare model that was only manufactured for one year. The Powerplus was launched in 1916 and this engine was mounted in the old frame of the overhead side valves. The following year, in 1917, this stronger frame was launched, but still with the rods as controls. In 1918, these were replaced by cables. This motorcycle is completely original and has been technically overhauled. One kick and it runs. This motorcycle served with the French Red Cross; AMBULANCE is still written on the bottom left of the tank.
