In any event, Indian was making V-twins before HD, so let's put that "Indian copied HD" BS to rest. Indian was making motorcycles, and v-twin engines, before Harley.
.... Say what you want but in todays market Harley owns the cruiser market and most company"s are desperate to get a piece of the V-twin market. Thank God Triumph is content to go with its own heritage. Indian is doing just fine and Victory is building it's own nitch now, and I think Victory will do just fine now that it;s not trying to clone Harley,but is heading off in it's own direction as a American performance brand. There is room for all manufactures, but having a history helps.
