Polaris takes over Indian

Has any body heard this?? What do you think it will mean? I think it saves Indian!!

Pretty surprised at their doing this. Victory is doing great and has copied the original V twin wonderfully. Not so sure what they have to gain in this one. The last Indians had almost no Indian original designed parts. I wish them well, but doubt it will make it (especially in this soft economy). Henderson was a great re-start too, but went 'south' pretty quick. But that was due in part to bad management.

i'm happy they bought it , maybe if things go right it will create some new jobs here , we need people working , paying taxes , we need money movers

Maybe that $40,000 price tag will come down. The main thing is they have to make a more reliable ride and I think Polaris will. The word on Indians of the last 10 yrs are that they are JUNK

In this economy it will be rough to save Indian with that kind of Price Tag.--------

they look like a honda vtx with hard bags , and indian fenders , looks like they bought the name plate and are just putting it on the victory , looks good

Hey your right Bill............I could save a pot full of money and just get those fenders for the X. I do like those old school looking fenders
