I am not a biker
When I was a kid in the late 30s early 40s the Indian was the bike of choice in the Boston area. People didn't care for the Harleys and the Harley's skinny tires.
One thing I remember about the Indians is on hot day they would pull up, shut of the engine and the engine would still kick until it colled off. - tom

Here’s a question to the motorcycle lovers out there. In what order would you list what you think a typical motorcyclist wants in their motorcycle? Here is the unordered list:

Low price, ease of maintenance, mileage, durability, accessories, style and appearance, power, acceleration, top speed, comfort, other.

I thought Indian had gone belly up a couple of years ago.

I know the dealer here in Md. closed up. Where are they making these and are they still using the S&S engine?

I’m not up on these things but what would a Harley about the same class as this Indian cost? (Indian $26,000)

Little known trivia: The Indian motorcycle company was the most desirable motorcycle up until WWI when the US Army contracted to buy 100% of their production for the duration of the war. Suddenly you could no longer purchase a new Indian for any price so the people went to HD instead. Indian never fully recovered after that.

What, again? What's that, three times now in the last couple of decades that someone has tried to resurrect this brand? If it didn't sell the last two times, what makes anyone think this time will be different? It's not like the bike has anything different to offer.

I like the styling. Perhaps that's why I purchased a Yamaha Star Roadliner.

My daily driver on San Diego freeways...2009 Kawasaki Versys. The Roadliner+trailer was too heavy to pull behind the Mercury Mariner Hybrid on a 923 mile trip from Pocatello to San Diego. 53 MPG. It saves lots of commuting wear on the Mariner at 70+ miles daily. I still have the "cage" for bad weather days and long trips home (like this week).
