Sorry by in my opinion this is taking it too far!!

Someone advertising their Kawasaki Drifter as a 1942 Indian Chief in the tag line, then going on to describe the bike as a "Genuine" Indian replica. Kawasaki only gets a brief mention in the advert.

Way wrong....

I didn't know that the Kyryakyn "Hyper Charger" has been around since the 40's...

It;s in Australia I'm sure someone will fall for it.

I just saw a similar ad here in the USA earlier today. Advertised as an Indian until you read the description.

There's actually a member here that is saying his Drifter is an Indian replica. I believe he posted pics in the photo section but cannot remember his name.

Thought the same thing, guy was even from Australia...looked up that post but its different paint. :lol:

I like that it was a "Genuine" replica.

There are A-holes everywhere. You can put a dress on a pig but it is still a pig.

Including '42 electronic ignition technology...very rare...even in the USA...Don't miss the opportunity...

This guy said his Japanese bike won best American bike contest in Australia?

 

[angliam]

there are a couple of them on eBay...never understood the need to make something out to be something it is not (replacing badges, etc). I'm proud that my bike is a Kawasaki and make sure to correct anyone who tells me, "Nice Harley" etc. It's not an Indian replica just because you slapped a couple Indian head badges on it and replaced the seat with a tan studded-leather solo seat. It's no better than the kids who junk up their Honda Civic, Dodge Neons, and Chevy Cavaliers with Mercedes and BMW logos.

That was one of the funniest threads i have read on here! Hope i spelled everything correctly!:lol:

I think the whole Drifter thing pretending to be an Indian is downright retarded. It's a Kawasaki Drifter 1500, not an Indian. I think it's pointless.

I can't imagine taking a 1999 mustang and calling it a 1942 chevy. :lol: lmao.

I think it just classifies these people as wannabe's.

**** it!!

AMEN!!!
A Drifter IS what it is ... A COOL BIKE!!! People do ask if it is an Indian but I just tell them NO WAY, It's a Kawaski!

 

[IMB4U]

The entire bike is a Kawasaki down to the frame and engine, buying some stickers for the tank and fender just makes it poser. Everytime I see that I just role my eyes and move on.
