i think you might be right man, but also i think with the $$ Polaris has and the R&D that has previously been done, if they can work out the few glitches that has plaqued the name up till now. good on them, but i also think they are going to have to adjust the price to bring it down to h.d. range they might have a chance in makeing it work. its funny if you think about it. AMF spent a great deal of money in R&D for the evo engine and then willie and the boys buy the co. back and bring out that engine. the boys in gilrow spent a lot of money in r&d then the holding co. and now Polaris buys it with very little to do but minor tweeks and adjust the price and BINGO its a big success for Polaris. pretty smart
Polaris will do fine with the purchase of the Indian brand. There won't be a true Polaris Indian released until the 2013 MY at least. And you can bet there will be improvemets in the design. Just don't expect a huge drop in price or an entry-level Indian for some time. Polaris intends the Indian to remain a premium brand.
Also, the 2012s you see now are simply the remainder of the Stellican line. I'm looking forward to the 2013 Indian lineup!
