Default Kiwi Indian?

I know it's not a Harley. But it's kinda close. Anybody here got a Kiwi Indian, Ridden a Kiwi Indian, know someone that has a Kiwi Indian, or know anything about the Kiwi Indian outside of what you can read on their Website?

Reason I'm askin is because I'm starting to think about thinking about getting a Kiwi Indian as a 2nd bike. I love the old Indians but don't want to deal with the parts and upkeep issues of having a classic.

The Kiwis are kind of funny looking. Are the 2009 (not-Kiwi) Indian's on the market yet?

If you go to the Indian website they have pics and Spec's but don't know if they are in showrooms. I'm more interested in the "Funny Looking" Chief Reproductions that Kiwi makes. I personally think that the two best looking bikes ever produced were both the "47" Indian Chief and the "47" Harley Knucklehead. JMHO.

Very nice 1947 Indian Chief on Ebay - doesn't have that crazy leaf-spring "springer" front end like the Kiwi, of course (that's the funny looking part): http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/India...mZ330279186907

1947 Indian Chief rolling basket case: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1946-...mZ180298830724

Thanks for the ebay info. As I said in my post I like the bike just don't want the hassle of owning a Classic. BTW, The leaf spring doesn't come on the Chief Reproduction.
