Not so many years ago I was offered an Indian Four AM150 (4 Stroke) for $400 foolishly I refused it I wish that it was now in my garage, one day an Indian Mini-Mini might, then I can dump the Honda 1979 Z50 that resides there instead. One thing about reincarnation that I like is, you can come back for a second chance in life I hope it works
