Finally seems as if a company who can do right by the brand got a hold of it...

I hope it goes well for the company. It would be nice to see the marque return to challenge HD. The key will be to not price the things so that even Warren Buffet has to rent them! You can have the greatest bike ever built but, if no one can afford it, you're bankrupt.

I got a chance to tour their factory in SC back in 2009. Glad they're puling a Phoenix again :rockwoot:

Every time I hear about Indian I just think "here we go again". Hopefully this will be different.

Me too until I started reading about the new bike... Polaris has seen reasonable success with the Victory line... gotta imagine with their R&D budget and channels to move them, it WILL be different this time. That fucking engine is sexy and if they're smart, it'll also be going into the next-gen Scout... 111ci, putting performance on par with the biggest Harley engines that are only available in their CVO line...

Oh and TurboGhost... they start at $18,999.

I hope it's successful, and Polaris certainly tries with the Victory line....though I don't think those bikes are where they should be either.

Big fan of the Victory bikes... I think they're good the way they are... Given the attention to detail on this engine and the competitive pricepoint (especially considering the performance), I gotta believe they're doing it right.

I think the engines are anemic and lack grunt and the transmission is way too noisy.
