Will have a significant impact. It's not just a new 120hp motor, it's the whole package. A better frame and suspension with mono rear shock for starters.
Motorcycles are a very personal thing. Some put style above everything else and Harley leads for those buyers in my opinion. Harley leads with dealer accessibility, customization options as well. The largest motorcycle social group, HOG.
Others place higher degrees of value on performance, handling, features, safety, comfort, quality and value.
While i don't personally own or desire a Indian motorcycle, I'm happy to see a new model that's more than fancy paint and chrome. This new Indian should appeal to buyers that want an American built bike with traditional V-twin style along with performance, handling and comfort.
Harley will have no choice but to compete and that's a very good thing. Current CVO electra glides will be impacted the most when Harley introduces a new bike that takes this new Indian on. My bet is that this happens sooner than later.
