Good looking machine. It almost looks, though, like the seat tube goes into the top of the head and straight down the cylinder.
 
It has a huge displacement 213cc,atmospheric intake valve,good for 1.75 HP,that tubular affair below the frame is the coil ! ,the long thing above, a dry cell battery.The next year,1907 Indian came out with a 42 degree 633 cc, 4 hp twin,top speed 45 mph.
 
OMG that is great........made my day. look at those brakes, wonder how they work. lol
