Nope it doesn't say Indian on the gastank.I won't tell you witch country so soon cause that would make it to easy.It's the only country in europe that has a highway system that is fully covered by street lightning.Now you should be able to get a little bit further I think.

i think the only highway system that's completely lighted is in the netherlands.

if the netherlands is the country, the only bikes i can think of that came from there would be some Piaggio and Tomos brands, plus a few of the odd-ball maico that were made there.

i'm just going by the hint. the photo doesn't give much away.

Yeah FN used to make bikes didn't know it was a gun Company though.It's a Saroléa alright Nichthupen and the one in the picture is the 500cc Monotube(called this way because of the single exhaust tube on the transmission side).It was more or less an over the counter racer witch featured a Bosch racing ignition,Amal Racing carb lightweight valvesprings and a close ratio 4 speed transmission.These bikes where able to do speeds up to 175 km/h running on alcohol(and all of this in the late 30's).The bike in the picture was photographed at the 1936 GP at Floreffe.So now it's your turn Nichthupen.

FN , Fabrique Nationale, is one of the finest gun manufacturers in history. FN on the gun means something.

That is all.
