They were a great bike---it was the dealers--or rather "lack of dealer support" that run me off. The machine itself was well designed.

WOW--hard to imagine. I am sure that the reasoning is to promote and support the Indian. Talking to the guys at Daytona for the last 2 years, they simply cannot build Indians fast enough. Victory and Indian are very close to identical twins once you get past the engine and tins. They share a lot of design and engineering DNA.
