This seems to be direct competition to Polaris’s Victory brand. Why would they do this?

Maybe they’ll merge

I would love to see a big fat full-dresser that looks like an Indian Chief headdress.

My guess is, Victory will either disappear or will move in a different direction.
My choice would be a different direction. I would love to seen Eric Buell and his EBR moved into the Polaris stable. EBR could then evolve into a real competitor in the superbike world. Both on the track and the street.

I was reading in another story somewhere that the company over the next few years is anticipating in combined motorcycle sales between $500 million and a billion (some range!) with most of that attributed to Indian sales.

Seems like Victory is trying to reduce its costs in most models. I think they plan to make most Victories mid range in costs 12k - 16K

For example, they got rid of the Hammer and replaced it with the Judge. In most respects, the Judge is inferior to the Hammer. ***The Hammer they have now is a Hammer eight ball — not as good as the previous Hammer or Hammer S models.

Indians will have premium price < = mid 20ks.

I have an older hammer and love it. 30,000 miles and no problems yet.
