Yes. I saw an article talking about how Indian is struggling financially and is going to have to do some restructuring or something. I'm not sure why they think raising prices is going to help anything, it's just going to make it worse.
Peculiar situation indeed. Whats that you ask? .... Well, Indian has teamed up with LITAS, but not with another entity which itself has promoted women riders of the Indian brand of motorcycles & motorcyclists. That other group/ program/ whatever you choose to call it is: Indian Bike Week in August in Wisconsin. Is it a par-a-dox?...... " a seemingly absurd or self-contradictory statement or proposition. " Oh I'm just a senior rider who has seen over 7 decades of life's ups & downs, twists & turns. SO what's behind the decision makers in this matter? Can someone step to the plate with a reasonable explaination. Thanx from just another 'low on the totem pole' rider of senior Indian Bikes. .respectfully........😮.
He also talks about Kawasaki, Yamaha, KTM, etc. I've owned Kawasaki, Indian, and Harley, they have all been good in their own way. It's not about what you ride.
Thanks, nice summation of all the models and HD comparisons. Ex Road Glide owner and I loved my RG but I feel the Challenger is a better looking ride.😊
I also have the scout regular. Can confirm the peg scraping, the extended reach (I’m 5’7”) needed and general enjoyment. I like it but love the rogue (my son’s) fit better.
I almost laughed when you showed me the scout rally you cannot just put nobby’s on a street bike and call it a scrambler and give it an inch more ground clearance you have to have a skid plate nothing I would takeoff Road forget about the nobby’s How about some suspension travel
I have a 2014 Chieftain an amazing motorcycle I think the new Indian lineup has lost what Indian is they did away with the big fender which is Indians trademark the new fairing looks like a Harley-Davidson I think in the end it will hurt them they did away with the Vintage the Dark Horse the classic that's at Indian apart from other brands I would never buy a new Indian I just believed they lost their heart and soul but I wish them the best
I agree. I think they need to differentiate themselves in the marketplace. It seems right now like they're just trying to be a better Harley instead of an Indian.
Posted their linup too early? A lot of motorcycle companies released their lineup in Aug-Sep. As far as Harley goes. I was seeing 24 models on the floor in late October. 24 Indians didn't hit the floor until mid Nov.
I pull my info from the websites, which for some are only partially updated. For instance, Honda still hasn't updated their entire dual sports lineup for 24 yet. Up until last week, Yamaha hadn't updated anything. Where have you seen 2024 Harleys? I thought they didn't ship 24 models until January.
@@jasonb8769 Rocket City Harley's website only shows '23 models, nothing 2024. From what research I've done, Harley has not put new models on the floor in August/September since 2020. With the supply chain disruptions in the pandemic, they moved new releases to January and it's been that way since. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just letting you know what I'm finding online. If they do in fact have 2024 models on the floor, I'm guessing it's an anomaly, not the norm.
For the same reason I report on Kawasaki, Honda, KTM, BMW, Suzuki, Yamaha, Royal Enfield, Ducati, etc. while riding a dumb HD. It's about creating content helpful for other people, not about being a jerk to people who ride something different than I do. Or that you do.
