Bottom line, we shouldn't expect radical styling changes to the Indian line any time soon.




Styling, no, they shouldn't. In my view that's pretty much why the Gilroy CA-based Indian Company and all subsequent Indian holding companies were after from the very beginning...they wanted to resurrect that valanced-fender 1940s Deco look that almost all people remember as Indian's trademark look.

There'd be no reason for Polaris to have even purchased the company if their ultimate plan was to change the styling aspect of these motorcycles away from that basic look.

Now, engineering, that's a WHOLE other animal here. I'm going to assume that Polaris' intent is to fix all the problems that have filtered down from the Gilroy-based Indians through to what is essentially a little changed design from that to the present. Problems which primarily consist of excessive vibration on the Gilroy-based Power Plus engine design.

Once Polaris rectifies THAT issue ESPECIALLY, then maybe they'll be able to satisfy their intended targeted customers.


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
