Bonneville America Forums Forums General Motorcycle Forums Other Bikes New Indian Powerplant

I caught some flak when I predicted the previous Indian revival would tank.
I'm not convinced about this one either. Better styling, even better engineering, it still amounts
to another company trying to make a living stealing some Hurley Doodleson customers away.
In this economy, there are fewer Hurley Doodleson customers to begin with.
It seems PolarIndians (Inuit?) are going to cost just as much.
The Japanese cruisers sell as they do because of the lower price.
Since Indian has come back from the dead so many times,
maybe they should come out with a model called the Zombie or the Jason.
I think, like before, a handful of people will buy one when they first come out, just to see what they're like.
Then comes the downward slide, the crash, the burn & we wait for the next revival.
