So why does everyone in here ride Indian wannabees?
#22
I think Indians' recent marketing strategy is asinine, targeting the way upper middle class to wealthy with their over priced rides. I agree, they are fine looking bikes, but in this economy, I don't see them surviving, but they might know something we dont....

Well I ride a Harley and my wife is part Indian so I RIDE BOTH!!!!
The OP has a good point. Some folks should do a little reading up on the history before they speak.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't really miss the days when you had to know tour bike, how much throttle etc to get her to fire. Sure they were tempermental, that's what made a harley a harley. Before we know it there will be electric jiffy stands and what not!!! TOTO take me home, I want to be back in Kansas.

It's coming, auto dimmer for headlites, anti-lock brakes-we now have, what a joke. Are we as motorcycle riding people able to decide when we need to apply the brakes or to let a system that is prone to failure overide our inate intuition as to when and how much brake to apply. Hey, I was fine and dandy with drum brakes before they came out out with disk brakes.

Exactly, and from what I've read Indian ain't the first to drop a v-twin in a motorcycle.

Who made the V-Twin commercially successful is what I consider most relevant to our view today that the V-twin is the only way to go. At least that is my view.
