| | The 1941-43 Military 741 by David Page |
 | | During World War Two, many New Zealand Soldiers honed their riding skills on the 741, some even rode them during the Italian campaign in 1943/44, although according to official records they were not issued with 741-Bs (most likely they had been exchanged, unofficially, for what they had been riding). |
 | | The 741 was used by the New Zealand Army from early 1942 until being pensioned off from 1949 onward, then finally the spares were sold by tender in 1960 to Valentines, of Hamilton. |
 | | Although the 741 is not the flashiest, fastest nor the most comfortable bike to ride, they've got heart and utilitarian style (severe bias here if you hadn't noticed), but best of all they are, without doubt, an INDIAN. |
