Indian is Dead; Long live Indian!
From Motorcycle Daily:
Apparently, there are actual bikes in actual Dealerships.  If you squint, you might not see all the Harley parts... 'Starting at $30,999.'

Actually the old 1500 Drifter looked a lot more like a classic Indian. Although I'd hope to see this company survive it's gonna be a tough sell. You'd have a hard time finding a worse time to offer an extremely expensive V-twin cruiser. If the upper class buyers go for them then that might work. The home credit line market is pretty much t1ts-up which leaves out the middle-class buyers.
Since this bike looks exactly like the recently defunct models one has to hope that they improved the reliability drastically.

It's too raked-out, and the rear fender looks too "mashed" in.
It sucks.

Please God, let Indian die once and for all. These things are becoming a bad joke.

Check this out
Drifter with a side car.
You could probably pick up a 1500 for 5 grand or less and an 800 for peanuts. I always thought they were the best Indian copy as well.

Words fail me, at least that Victory Vision is looking better and better
.......+1 on the Drifter, a pretty nice looking bike. One of the few cruisers the Japanese have actually done right IMO
