Harley never went out of business, shut down lock the doors scarped the place . Indian was gone . The name was purchased a few times they took some silly frames stuck a S&S engines on them named it Indian and peddled the junk. Now Polaris is mixing parts from the Victory they shut down and trying to claim it's heritage to Indian. Should have just named it Victory and moved on.
Harley had some had times but when AMF purchased the company they kept right on making them. Indian not the same. I hope those that buy them don't wake up to find Polaris doing the same thing they did with the Victory.
I have dislike for Polaris . I purchased their junk, day one it did not run. Dealer and Polaris both not running is not covered by warranty.
Remember the Kawasaki Indian?
They have some neat bikes, but there's a severe lack of customization options compared to an HD.
Does that make it the "Indian Drifter" or maybe something like a "Driftian" ?
So many revisions and versions I just give up ! You can pick-out the newest Polaris version because for one, those beautifully crafted finned head covers are hollow and basically empty.

I never get the AMF comment. AMF bought an operational company and continued operations. Am I missing something here, because I don't ever understand anyone's point of bring up AMF.
I bought 3 new ones because that was what was available at the time.They were fine and never,ever heard anyone at the time speak to their not being a "real" HD. We all thought the AMF meant:Adios Mother Funcker".

This was my King's Mountain Road Master Indian. It was a good bike but I got tired of it.

Hollow like the "history and heritage" they claim. I don't see Polaris embracing history of those cheap dirt bikes Floyd Clymer was selling as "Indians" or the made in India Enfields that were re-badged as "Indians". Cripes, that's like an actor trying to forget he made gay porno films.
