I absolutely agree with your conclusion Phantom!

  Thanks, for once somebody agrees with me!

You can see the Victory influences in the bike.

Not for me

I am not an Indian fan...just yet but I don't think its too bad. You can see the big boy indian influences. The mentioned grey pieces for sure need to be rethought...they cheapen the look and are butt ugly...imo. They should be the same color as the frame or tank or chrome or a mixture thereof.
As Indians target to new riders or woman riders I think it will serve its purpose.

It's not a bad looking Bike and it's around 10K not bad.

The aftermarket guys will take care of covers for all of that.

True ... or everyone will just take them to the local bodyshop and have them painted. I think the aftermarket might be a little leery of Indian's previous track record ... everyone says they're here to stay this time because of Polaris, but time will tell. I still haven't noticed too many Indians around the 'burgh yet.

I'm in the North Hills, had to go up to Erie for mine ... nobody around here had my color. Hot Metal had one, but didn't want to deal unless I brought $3 grand to the crooks on top of my trade. Erie treated me fair without trying to gouge me.

Same here in East Tennessee....don't see many but a few are "trickling" into the picture.  Just found out last weekend that our local HD dealer (K'ville HD on Clinton Hwy) is building a new facility right next to his HD shop that will sell....wait for it....Indian.  Yep, we are getting an Indian dealer in Knoxville soon.  He will also be selling Polaris/Victory along with Indian line.  Will be interesting to see.....

No doubt that will be interesting. I don't care how many new Indian dealers pop up, they still have a long way to go to catch up to how popular HD is. They would have to offer me the world for me to even think about giving up big blue ... and even then I still don't think I could stomach the look of an Indian. Every manufacturer has their little niche they fill and I just don't see them filling mine the way a Harley does.

The scout has a cast frame, the Radiator and under seat is a cast part of the frame. The engine is 75 % made in USA compare to the HD street 0 % ( comes kitted in a box from India with China and Taiwan part    If you had to make a motor who would you hire a Polaris or Harley engineer.       

[srnoyes]

Not much of an Indian guy and don't intend on running out to buy one. Way to expensive, they play to a nostalgic audience.....but that's just dead sexy! I think it's one of their better looking bikes.
