Way too fugly for me.

I'd like to see one.  So far they need to be more finished but they have some interesting lines.  i hope they succeed and give Harley some true competition.

Not my cupa tea

I continue to be baffled by the Victory / Indian styling philosophy, but perhaps I'm simply not the target audience.

As others have said, the Dark Horse is definitely not my cup of tea.  I appreciate the original Indians for what they are: a snapshot in time of what was at its time great styling.  The fusion of those orginal styling lines and features like fender skirts with the newer engine and component shapes is just not something that I find at all attractive.  Pretty much all of the Indian's fall into this trap.

Of course, I'm also one of those people who thought BMW nailed the perfect sport touring look with it's 2004 R1150RT and then lost their minds and "Bangled" the RT by removing the subtle contours with sharp edges and a frontal view that looked like an owl.  Of course, an owl is a hell of a lot better than Bozo the clown!

Hmm, this all has the makings of a blog entry...

[D-N-D]

Not for me !!!

To each their own..........Not saying HD is better, but that's just not my thing.

Awful, just awful. What a ugly price of crap. Still not sure why anyone calls these Indians. They went out business 62 years ago. Kind of like me and a buddy building a look-a-like 60 Bonneville and calling it a Pontiac?

Yeah I agree with all of the above comments. They might be cool to test ride but thats about it for me. None of them touch the soul. If they ever want to cut into the MoCo sales then they better look into a complete redesign. Maybe give me a CVO looking model with all the bling made in the USA, with high quality materials and craftsmanship that sounds like a Harley with a knock my socks off warranty and customer service for a better price than the MoCo then maybe they will have something.
Otherwise I think they are just wasting their time.

 I hope this is not a trend to go black or that blacked out look in the motorcycle market. I LIKE CHROME!!!!!
