    Not to mention the heat issues, the engine noise, the plastic parts… Knock off motorcycles just aren’t the same.

    I am amazed that anyone who produces a product for the public stays in business, trying to foresee any and all possible and sometimes impossible senarios for a law suite, thus adding thousands to the sticker price of something like a motorcycle, which is already one of the most hazardous things on this planet (thanks to car drivers). Good luck Indian

    wiring harness and connectors on my Victory all hail from China and connectors needed me to separate and seal with dielectric grease to waterproof them.
    Don’t see why the Polaris Indian would be any different.

    Hahaha all the Hardley crows are coming out. Count up Hardley recalls boys , they have a whole book of them. As for heat issues, didn’t Hardley loose a court case about excessive heat issues? Who could call a Hardley engine quiet. Every motorcycle has plastic on it even your Hardley. Keys indian did make snowmobiles back in the early days as well. Knock off motorcycles from Hardley, copying the original V twin manufacture.

    Still junk and still ugly, they ought to concentrate on the octane/scout more and put it in a acceptable platform instead of trying to rely on their 4 or 5 year history

    A lot of hate here……why?

  12. 12 Joe Jan 29th, 2018 at 12:09 pm

    Because these bikes are boring. I wish they would have tried to do something unique instead of creating bad Harley clones with flared fenders.

    The only bike to ride is one made of steel ,makes a lot of noise and is hot most of the time all i want is a “tin”cell phone with a bar and shield logo and a ringer that’s annoying

    Wow those Hardley’s are so much fun every time I pass a broken down one, the riders and their buddies are having so much fun gaming on their cell phones, Yeah right!!
