Quote: Those things take a big investment and Polaris isnt up for that yet. ... In short they do not have the commitment to being a full range motorcycle company.
Ah, the keyboard captains of industry are back!
Polaris/Victory really has no desire to move beyond the cruiser market any time soon. Just like Ducati isn't going to make a bagger, Cadillac isn't going to make a pickup truck, and Norton... well, they're not going to make anything.
Polaris picked up Indian last year in hopes of undercutting more of the Harley market. Smart buy, in my opinion.
We are both full of opinion, however my proof is their product line.
Whatever happened to Victory's very interesting CORE concept bike, that bike would have been the perfect platform for a good high RPM 900cc engine.
Victory buying Indian made no sense. Victory already has a modestly successfull (compared to Harley) cruiser line and they went and purchased another struggling cruiser brand. Would have made more sense to buy what they need not what they already have. Now if they had purchased Ducati...
