I can kind of see where their design ideas are going. Deco style streamliner look. Just don't know how it fits into today's market. And the front view and Bozo, that is just too creepy! Plus, I should support Polaris since they are a local company here in MN, but not with this bike. A Hammer maybe for a 2nd bike, maybe.

I would ride one. Heck, especially if it was free. I have ridden a lot worse in my lifetime, that is for sure.

Maybe for a second bike. Got a buddy that rides an 8Ball and loves it. Plenty quick and unique...

I find them pretty strange looking from the side or rear, but do you think it is a coincidence that from the front they look like an Edsel?

I don't care for the styling myself, little too weird.
If you and the wife like to travel, have a close look at the bags and the internal shape.
No real usable space, tough to pack.

I like my saddlebags and liners...

Retro looks like this brand new International "Lone Star" edition tractor?
(By the way, this is their Harley Davidson edition)

Good for you Eddie!!!
I'm hunting for the Anniversary Vision (two-tone Candy Apple/Black).
Motorcycling is about riding a motorcycle...not being a "sheep" and conforming to what others think.
I also own a few Moto Guzzi's...do you think I care what others think!
