I hope it's a good product and that it succeeds. Hopefully it isn't just a Victory with a different name plate. Ed

I hope it does good too. They rag on the $18k price like it's rediculous for a motorcycle. Obviously not written by someone who knows motorcycles, as now $18k is not all that much money for a motorcycle. Didn't they try to do Indian years ago and sell them for like $37k? Now that I would agree is a little out of hand.
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

Nope, not a Victory in disguise, they designed and built a brand new motor just for it.

Nothing wrong with Victory, except they're to frikken huge.

Rider/CycleWorld Mags had articles on Polaris (now owning) redesigning the victory and now Indian brand of motorcycles. With a 3 Billion (yes with a "B") revenue, they have a shit load of $$$ and top notch engineering teams.

And at a price less than Harley's... they may possibly pull it off and give HD a run for the money.

I had a 2004 Kingpin for a while... man do I miss it. Great bike.

If I had the coin, I'd be in line.
