Indian Motorcycles, (off and on) Since 1901

Looks to me like another Harley with big fenders.
What is this, the 5th or 6th reincarnation of Indian? And the last two or three trying to look like something designed in 1935.

So now Polaris reinvents Indian with 75 year old stying, Fifty year old handling, Twenty five year old performance and calls it the NEW Indian.
I know, I know. It's fast. As fast as a BMW?
I know, I know. It handles. As well as a Honda?
I know,I know, it is beautiful. As beautiful as a Ducati?
Oh wait,it has “Classics Styling”. Yep.so does a Ural.

Nothing is as beautiful as a Ducati.
Handling.. As much as I hate to say it, I’d go with buell

Sorry but Harleys look like Indians. Indians were first. Does it matter who own the Indian name now? Most companies change ownership after a time. At least it's an American owner.
25 year old performance? It's a newly designed 111 cubic inch engine with ABS and cruise control.
Yes it's as fast as most BMW's that aren't sports bikes.
It handles as well as a comparable Honda. (Shadow, F6B, 1300).
Ducati's are beautiful bikes, but they are sports bikes. The 2014 Indian is beautiful on a whole different level.

Ural definitely has a classic look. East German post war classic. I prefer classic American bikes.

No one is asking you to like the new Indian though. Go buy your BMW/Ducati/Honda and I'll still wave to you regardless of what you are riding from the back of my own Honda...but I'll be wishing I was on an Indian.

The last time Indian came out it used an S&S copycat Harley Engine, it had few dealerships and it was way overpriced.

This time it appears to have a Polaris Engine which is a proven design and they hold up well, it has the backing of Polaris dealerships and it is selling at the right price.

I predict this will be a winner.

As for the old styling. Great Old School is the best school.
I want one. When will they be at my Polaris dealer.

Does a Honda handle as well as a Ducati?

I know,I know, it is beautiful. As beautiful as a Ducati?

IMHO, my favorite Ducati ever:

Most striking Ducati ever:

Most beautiful motorcycle ever:

My former Ducati :-(

This is the first resurrection of Indian that has some real money behind it. Keep in mind that it already has a more advanced engine than anything Harley offers and reportedly better handling - and at this point, stealing Harley customers away is where they want and need to start.

They have also said that the retro-cruisers are just the start for the revived Indian name. They’re not going to be ‘the other Harley’ type and intend to expand to standards and potentially sportbikes in future.

Also, yes, they’re faster than the last BMW cruiser.
