Polaris is engineering their own bikes, designing/engineering their own engines(unlike HD, who seems to turn to Porsche for engineering design..think Vrod and the new 500/750s),actually, the complete bikes. Simply put, I enjoy the competition that Polaris is creating with the acquisition and development of Indian, it make others step up or risk falling behind. The new Scout, as with the original, is innovative and is designed to set new standards, as the original Scout did back in the day(when the Indian Wrecking Crew set the standard in racing for decades).
Enjoy your bike(s), ride safe.
