It's a brand of motorcycle. The one he was restoring in the movie.

You are welcome. Here is an article about the film. It doesn't say that the company had any involvement in the making of the film.

Here is an article about the person the film was about (Burt Munro).

Nice read. Looks like the Indian Motorcycle Company wanted nothing to do with it. Usually corporate swoops in, if nothing, at least for the PR.
