Harley V Indian Motorcycles!!!
Has Harley been affected that much about the woke issue? Or is it more the style and customer service in general. How far behind are Indian to really make a prolonged affect on Harley anyway. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. Please help and Subscribe. Sorry I have not got a lot of riding content at the moment but being off the bike for a year due to my seizures has had a great affect on me. I am not at my best in this Vlog but trying to put at least one a week out.

    It's not just the two brands of motorcycles. It's the attitude of every company nowadays. They all want just quick money. So the high end products are prefered bc of margins. As soon as a product is sold they don't care anymore. Service costs them money (storing parts...) although as a customer they rip you off anyway. So the parts are only good enough as to avoid costs on the companyside, no matter which brand. Indian is right now only pushing to get their share of the market. Customizing my Chief Dark Horse is a pain in the ass here in germany, bc there is no support by Solaris, like pushing the aftermarket to do something. Not big enough numbers i guess.😒 Soon enough it will be over (not only) for both brands (restrictions bc climate...) Europe is a "third world market" for the accountants of both brands anyway.😒 Stay safe 🖖

      Its a shame when if they made partnership's with aftermarket companies then they would fill the gap under a licence. That's where someone with a passion for the product would fill the gaps in and make the product whole again.

      @christianwurm9795 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@QuinnTales-sq5pl yupp. Don't know about UK but here in germany every part (like handlebars) have to have MOT papers, so one is allowed to install it officially. This permition is costing the (aftermarket) company money (time, paperwork...) and so especially when there is no support in any way by the brand no aftermarket is keen to invest regarding the relatively small market (by numbers). HD is much longer on the market and therefore the aftermarket had a lot more time to develop/compete. If Polaris would sort at least this out HD would go downhill since both company act the same way (service, communities😒) but Indian is better/more advanced by tec (in general). Hope you can finally solve this. Too bad it's such bitter trouble with something supposed to be just fun. ✊

    Good insight. I think both companies are changing trying to appeal to the younger crowd. As you stated at the end of the day it’s about sales. You touched on quality and using cheaper parts. With the economy being what it is it costs more to make that motorcycle. I feel to offset rising cost to manufacture Polaris uses inferior parts so they can at least maintain their profit margin or increase it. I am curious if Alexa counted the dealerships that sell multi brands. It’s obvious if a dealership sells Harleys. The sign out front tells you. However I think a lot of Indian dealers are having to sell multiple brands which leads to dealership names like Off - Road express where I bought mine. Glad to see you are doing well brother.

      But if they continue down the road of not considering the customer then they will lose out. Harley for not thinking about their actions and Indian by not giving the customer choice with approved service garages and both by putting bikes out that fail on cheep electronics.

      @@QuinnTales-sq5pl Polaris is just a number company. They have proven that. Ppl love their victories. Polaris quickly dumped that sinking ship soon as numbers were not strong enough. I feel Americans are looking for more built in country items. This lead to Polaris jumping on the availability of the name Indian motorcycle co. The fact Harley is having customer service issue as well opens the opportunity to switch to Indian. What the long term ramifications of either company not improving customer relations I can not predict. I hope both companies make changes

    I know some people in merica are upset with the discontinuing of victory. My understanding is victory was such a small part of sales. Just off that basis why produce something that doesn’t make you much money. I also think Arlen Ness’s influence on styling played a part in the downfall of Victory. The riders groups in America have disappeared. I remember when events used to be posted on Indians website. Join group …. And ride from …… to ………. Being a part of the riding group also used to get you little gifts throughout the year. That stopped in 2018

    • @QuinnTales-sq5pl
      @QuinnTales-sq5pl 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I heard the same thing about Victory, but its made in the factory that Indians are made now so I think he name change was a big part of the success. But Polaris are not putting enough time into the IMRG, it's very successful in Europe due to working conditions being so different. More down time enables them to invest their own time into it plus Polaris let them get on with it.

    Hi Stuart. Totally agree with you on Polaris. I'm on my second bike and spent over £50k in total. At the moment I'm still waiting for parts under warranty. I will say this is my last Indian but no one will take it in part exchange due to its cost. I have had my Pursuit dark horse sine June 2023 and have 5500k miles on it . Second front tyre and still waiting for the next one due to wheel wobble. I have used this bike a during the winter and the exhust is so rusty . I have other bikes in my garage that are ove 25 years old which have been used during winter and are still in better condition than my Indian as you say Polaris are not interested in getting things sorted.

I had a issue with same dealer with my seat , seat was peeling off after 6 months as reported it just to be told that the workshop had a marker pen from polaris to colour it in , after reporting it again 2 or 3 times and getting same reply, I took it to another dealer they did take pictures and sent them to polaris ,only to be told that polaris said its wear and tear. I only got word of mouth saying that no paperwork from dealer or polaris. Ii owned a 2008 suzuki gsx1400 with the original seal in perfect condition and 15,000 more miles on the clock . I do love the indian motorcycle motorcycle but will never recommend them to anyone again.

Love it when I come over the America and its good seeing what you guys are doing as well as the groups that are very active in Europe. Also if someone is planning going aboard it gives them the opportunity to attend an event whilst there which is either Indian Motorcycle or IMRG. Thank you for reaching out.
