The thing is, whether anyone wants to admit it or not, is all motorcycle companies want to steal customers away from Harley. That is the reason Polaris bought Indian, to have the name and the brand to be able to do it because Victory has never really taken off with Americans. Let's face it, the vast majority of Harley customers don't care about performance numbers, technical specs,or magazine reviews, they want a Harley because it's a "Harley" and it has that prestige about it. The only other brands that can compete with the "prestige" or "mystique" of Harley are Triumph and Indian. I just don't get these marketing guys. If you want to steal Harley customers then that means that you need your motorcycle to do everything a Harley does and more. Unfortunately in the U.S. that means you have to have an air cooled motorcycle that has superior styling and performance to the Harley models that you are targeting. The Thunderbird has never really taken off because it looks like a Japanese cruiser, radiator and all, the restyled LT and Commander look a lot better but, again Americans hate that radiator. I fear the Scout is in for the same fate.
