From looking at things, Fuji was their sole supplier of engines till recently, and now is a 60% owner of the engine manufacturing group (Robin).
Fair enough, but there's nothing mentioned there about Victory engines. They're manufactured in Osceola, WI.
True.dat, and never said they were. Still looking to try and confirm it, but somehow doesn't seem like it's true.
Been to the factory. Seen them on the line. Yes, they're made in Wisconson.


By that justification Honda is american made. What matters is who really owns the company. Mazda is an american company, Nissan a french, just like Jaguar and Land Rover used to be american and are now indian

What stake of polaris does Fuji own?

Who owns HD stock? I'm sure it's not entirely Americans.

They look a little weird to me (never ridden one) but I think their motors are almost bullitproof. Never HEARD any complaints about them and Polaris has been around forever with a good rep.

Majority stockholder calls the shots.

Ford for Mazda, Renault for Nissan, etc. I think the majority of HD stock is owned by the company itself, and/or various people in the states, not a foreign companyt
