Since this news broke Polaris has been very open about the reasons. Cost of developing separate lines and engine development was the main reasons. They stated that if not for the experience gained from Victory the success of Indian would not be possible. I guess how you have to look at it is that Victory will live with Indian badges on the gas tank.
I'm pretty sure Indian will be around for a good, long time. If nothing else they have forced Harley to clean up their act and reintroduced competition to the Cruiser category. Polaris isn't a little company and will give Harley a run for their money.

Don't lose hope. I forsee a much needed end to over regulation in all aspects of our lives. But especially in the auto and powersports industry. With any luck the EPA budget may get cut by 99% and we can restore sanity jump start our economy. Sure would be nice not to have to worry about paying the EPA $10,000 because a metal tag had a rivet fall out during the ocean trip from China.

I drove by the local Victory dealership today (May 10 ) & they had one Victory in front with the usual three scooters & one used Harley but the showroom looked empty. They never had much in the showroom anyway! I had two shops in N.H. & you have your overhead (rent , parts , shop supplies , etc. anyway ) The dealership was run like a front. Irish
