What’s even more impressive is that Polaris managed to pull a new company and 3 variations of an all new premium bike model together in just around 27 months!
look out Harley…you will not be able to survive on 30 year old engineering and selling t shirts anymore..new (old) kid in town..they are prepared and ready to battle the establishment..can only make harleya better product….you now have a choice.
It’s great to see another American built motorcycle on the road. The styling is much as I think everyone expected. I think it would be great to see a lighter Indian that gives tribute to the old racing heritage. The only disappointment was the Cheiftan. That fairing is butt ugly.
Great roll out these guys are doing a steller job of marketing the bike. Gee we have had a few of those riders on our show in the past it’s cool to see them on screen and being a part of the roll out.
Can’t wait to see these bikes up close in our local region.
Sorry but having looked at the pictures of the new bike I’m quite saddened that i feel that they missed the mark here. Engine – nice , Tank – nice, fenders… well couldn’t go wrong there. Fairing – awful , clocks look cheap and Chinese and the side panels on the bike look like something thrown together to to simply cover a hole or a bunch of wires (which of course they probably are) but there appears no real design to them. Could have been ….. and i was soooo looking forward to it. Incidentally the engines primary side looks like its straight off a victory too !
Ok, so I watched
I was impressed, not so much by the CEO & the COO but by the industry people
like Laura Klock who they let drive the thing.
Her comments are favorable & that’s good enough for me
(Still waiting for my test ride, please) !!!!
Chris, are you kidding? Look at Vic and Thunderstroke side by side, other than they both have a circle, they are significantly different. Its called Google, search it.

It was a hollywood style party!. Exciting to see a company like Polaris giving so much new energy to the industry.

They definately are a presence at sturgis this year. Indian banners are flying on almost every building.
Let the Indian Harley war begin!
That National Anthem was great! Hopefully it was recorded and will be available for sale. On par with Hendrix’ instrumental anthem.
Nice touch by including Don Emde & Laura Klock.

Steve The Producer Johann.”Steller”,do you mean stellar? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steller%27s_sea_cow Indian did get a few styling cues from this big beast I think.

A real anti-climax for me.
Oh well…. maybe in the flesh it looks better
