Nem azért.

,,You might recall that Indian placed the throttle on the left hand twist
grip, not the right. Don’t believe the old story that it was placed there so
that the bike riding sheriff could ride with his left hand while he shot his
revolver with his right hand! The truth is much less dramatic… Early motors
responded strongly to variable ignition timing, due to their low compression
and mild cam timing, and the primitive carburetion of the time. Indian made
the decision to put the ignition control in the rider’s right hand, and
relegated the throttle control to his left hand. As motors developed, and
throttles became the dominant control method, Indian stayed with their layout.
As an option they eventually did offer reversed controls, to help sell bikes
to riders who were used to right hand throttles. (And Harley sold bikes with
“Indian type” controls too, trying to woo customers away from Springfield).''
