@@Bigjohn2121 Sadly true in some cases, and I have owned those bikes, even own a 1000cc sport bike right now sitting around 180hp, I ride that one less then I do my 800cc 90hp bike though, just more comfy power for the road. Did also have an 1800cc Harley not too long ago, just stupid size of an engine in my mind, but was also real comfy for long distance travel.

Their sales department at my local shop really let me down and I made the decision to give another manufacture the opportunity that Harley refused.

That’s in the US because bikes are seeing as a weekend hobby and not also a daily commuter like in other countries. Also it doesn’t help that in most of the country you cannot lane split and have to ride as if you’re in a car in the city which is really dumb and take away one of the biggest advantages of riding over driving in big congested cities.

@@kschantz That’s something very US American to say. Driver’s hate you, why? It’s not as if you’re skipping the line in front of them, they won’t arrive any earlier if you don’t pass them, on the contrary, if you take the space of a car and stand behind them you’re going to make the traffic even worse. In Europe, Asia, Latin America… no auto driver is going to hate you for lane splitting because most two wheels riders do that and there’s a lot more two wheels on the road then in the US, so it’s just something normal. Besides, there’s nothing worse than sitting in traffic on a motorcycle, in the rain it’s even worse. About the danger part, yes, it can be kinda dangerous, but riding is dangerous anyway, just be careful.

I am a big fan of both Harley Davidson and Indian, I believe having the two brands exist in competition with each other is ultimately great for the consumer as it pushes the quality of both brands bikes to a new level, just look at the latest models, tech that would rival European bikes and more performance than ever before. I hope they are both around for a long time to come.

I’m definitely not saying it’s happening, but you can’t judge a company’s viability on the amount of money spent on an event like this. I worked for a rail car manufacturer back in the 80’s. They sent a bunch of efficiency experts down to our plant for a couple of weeks. About a month later the company invested several millions of dollars upgrading the computer systems and many things on the production system. About 2 months after this was done they started laying people off which always seemed to happen around the presidential election time for some reason and had happened that way for 50 years. But this time was different, they laid everyone off and completely shut down operations at the plant permanently, and eventually the plant was sold. I asked a union rep why a company would come in and spend millions of $$ on a plant and then just shut it down. He said that’s been done many times by many companies and they do it for a tax write off. So you can never really tell. I learned from that to always buy at least one share of stock in a company I had an interest in. By owning one share of stock you get info as a shareholder that gives you the real insight into a company’s health. If shareholders aren’t making money , look out. It’s all about them being kept happy.

In the Open market, everyone should want companies with competitive products to stay relevant … because it helps with competitive pricing … if Indian goes away.. then Harley can start pricing creeping because there is no competition to compare prices too and keep them in check.

Apparently a large amount of Indian Motorcycle riders formed around this part of Europe b/c law enforcement in the area nearly a century ago decided to use Indian as part of their fleet bikes. Since law enforcement used it, the public started buying Indian Motorcycles as well, and the community just kind of started growing from there!

The issue is Indian and Harley are only competing with each other. They have the same lineup, at similar price points, with no entry level motorcycles. The only difference is obviously the PanAm. So if Indian is dying, then so is Harley.

They both need transparency in pricing.HD has a bad reputation for hosing people with bs up charges added to the sale.If Indian doesn't resort to those tactics,they will eclipse HD in sales.If greed takes over,they may very well die.

I like and buy HDs…but it’s damn close. America needs both and they need each other for competitive advantage-builds of these two set the American market and represent the USA motorcycle genre to the world. Simple we need both

i sadly think the whole industry is dying to be honest. new bikes coming out are near impossible to customise. aren't inspiring to do either. options are bleak. and models come and go faster than ever, and prices seem way to high.

All manufacturers need cheaper bikes to attract younger riders and entice long time riders to buy something new. The current prices have more riders throwing in the towel on riding than luring new riders into buying bikes. There are less and less motorcyclists every year even though our population is steadily increasing.

Outside of the scout, I never see Indians out on the road near me in the Seattle area. The local dealer here in Lynnwood is utter garbage. Tried a few times over the years to swap to Indian and it was like pulling teeth to even get someone to talk to and give them money and never did. The one an hour away is cool, but sticking with Harley based on my local dealer.

That's funny, the "dealer situation" is the one reason I would NEVER buy an HD. Since the factory dealer is trying to get every HD dealer within a 3 hour ride of my house shut down to monopolize the market. And I have never seen a ruder more arrogant dealer than that same HD dealer.
