    As I've stated here, you won't have long to wait. But it's not a knife in the back; the product is, and always has been, a steaming turd. And occasionally, the turd catches on fire.

    Customers have good long memories. I won't be giving Polaris another dime.

    To clarify, I'm not on Indian and your purchase, just the price they want for the Elite. There may be a few more items on the Elite than the model below it, but for the most part, it looks like they are asking $8000 more for hand applied 23ct. gold striping. At $1284.00 per ounce this morning, I can buy 6 American Gold Eagles for under $8,000.00. It also only comes in one color. Hard for me to see the marketing behind it other than there are some that have to have the most expensive model out there, regardless. Here's a nice video up the coast highway on a red Roadmaster. Report back on the Springfield with updates and PHOTOS.

    So a business should keep making a product that is redundant to another of their own product lines, even though the numbers aren't there; i.e. people weren't buying it?

    Whew! I hope you don't have any money in the stock market, as you are really going to be disappointed in how business actually works.

    Victory was making money. The design and product was top of the line--it was a quality product. It was the poor support by Polaris and the sudden purchase of the Indian brand that caused them to dump Victory. I owned 2 and was a on the different boards for a few years. They had very loyal customers in spite of refusing to back their warranty. Most bikes gave very little trouble and ran forever.

    They didn't even try to sell of Victory---probably because somebody else would grow the company---like they refused to do---and make them look foolish, so they just killed it off and left thousands of loyal customers and vendors up the well known waterway without any propulsion device. I sold mine and got a B about 2 years before all of that happened.

    Not gonna say I will never buy an Indian---but it won't be a new one and it will have to be a heck of a deal.
