"Victory and Indian use v-twins because that is what heavyweight cruiser riders like. Very simple."
No ******. Just so happens that's all that Harley Davidson builds. You know, that's the motorcycle company that OWNS 50% of the American market. That makes H-D the leader that companies like Indian and Victory follow.
o.b., enjoy the ride and ride what you enjoy. Two wheels and engine = good times.
Try not to drink too deeply from the HD marketing fountain though 
There are numerous reasons to use V-twins for big displacement bikes, narrowness,
longer stroke with gobs of torque, tighter center of gravity to name a few.
"Copying HD" is not why they do it. That's just salesman crap.
They're not following HD, they're competing, and that's something HD is not used to. American made, classic name, true to older Indian v-twins appearance wise, high quality.
Frankly I think HD is afraid of the competition.
The real winners will be us, the riders 
It'll be interesting to watch that whole "market share" thing over the next few years too.
Don't misunderstand, I like Harleys. They look cool, sound cool, fit and finish is second to none. In fact before I bought the Triumph I nearly dropped the hammer on a Dyna Sport.
So again, enjoy
