That is so true. When Polaris bought Indian, rebranded it. Then they discontinued the Victory MC's. That was largely due in part to the recalls on the ATV, side by side, and their 3 wheeled Spyder at the time. The Indian's are nice bikes but I don't know if I would get one.

I like Indian bikes. There's a gut in my neighborhood who rides an Indian Scout. Great guy, and his bike looks like it has a soul. They really do understand their customers. Right now, I am checking out their eFTR Hooligan. A guy like me could mod and wire that girl into a 70MPH electric cafe racer. Indian also has a nice selection of pit bikes. Think about it. A 14- to 26-year-old cannot afford or want to spend 25,000 to 50.000 dollars on a bike with a cup holder. Indian knows how to get younger people into their American made bikes.
Harley isn't even made in the states anymore, its only assembled here, and several models are not even assembled here. Harley Davidson has three factories in the US where they do partial assembly, but they have the 3 big main factories in Brazil, India and Thailand. These are the factories that Harley motorcycles are wholly made and assembled in, Harley Davidson parts are produced in factories in Germany, Japan, Italy, Taiwan and Mexico. Nothing about Harley is American made. Indians are made entirely in Spirit Lake Iowa.
@@rotnlilme yup, quads are junk . I worked for HD and the in the 14 years that they've made Indian I'd already say that they are a superior American motorcycle to HD . Some people might argue with you that Victory is a good motorcycle too . 🍻
hahahaha yeah, i see the diverse riding Harley Davidsons all the time. I lived in a place where they were the baby boomers who rode the bikes. Baby boomers who at one time were as proud to wear their Harley T shirts and jackets as we used to wave the American flag, eat apple pie and go to the ball games. They are taking all our American icons away, so we have nothing of original representation of America.
A couple of years ago I bought a smashed V rod with intent to rebuild it. It sat in my basement collecting cobwebs ever since. I dug it out last week and I am currently starting to install a 1986 Yamaha V max engine in it !!!
I’ve bought five Harley’s over the last three years and have spend many thousands on parts and merch too. I will not spend another dime with Harley until they fire that loser ceo and apologize for their disgusting ways.
I cannot understand this. Americans buy Apple Phones but theyre not made in USA? So why the uproar, progressive Managment is just that PROGRESS in Manufacturing , better product, better profit. Not hard to understand.
It all started when they tried to get the younger crowd into the electric bikes. Nobody wants an electric HD. You cant appeal to EVERYONE. You need to take care of your core customers first. Harleys arent for everyone, its just the facts.
Its worse here in Australia. Bought my 1st Shovel new in 1984. Horrified to find out my 2023 Ultra was built in Thailand. It gets worse. There are 2 models made in CHINA. But they have not worked out a way to sell them to Americans without massive backlash. They are selling them here, and now.
The president of Harley Davidson clearly doesn't understand its customer base so Harley needs to get the bud light treatment and lose Billions in revenue for a few years or until they apologize to its customers for going woke
Years ago an old friend purchased an HD. We went out riding a lot, he had to have the complete HD regalia to ride. All HD branded gear and constantly asking me “when are you gonna get a real bike” odd. One day went by to go riding and he stated “I can not ride because I don’t have a clean T-shirt” meaning he didn’t have a clean HD T-shirt to wear under his HD leather jacket. To this day we don’t let him live that down. Other HD riders used to ask him “why you riding with those guys” as the rest of our group didn’t owned any HD bikes. Now he only rides that HD two or three times a season the rest he rides a Honda.
When I was looking for a new bike last year, I had decided that at my age and after 2 wrecks, I couldn't realistically do another sport bike. I decided on an Indian Chief and have absolutely loved it. All the Harley crap going on right now has just made me even more certain that I made the right decision.
I turned my back on Harley Davidson when I tried to trade inn the very same motorcycle that I bought from them and offered peanuts !!, not to mention their new sales people where very unprofessional, zero knowledge and careless to finish a sale, took my motorcycle and trade it on Indian Motorcycle without any issues. They were very nice and giving me way better deals , free maintenance, and still invited me since 4 months until now to any event, 100% better than any “ Diversity Company “, period.
As I understand this - the "DEI" mandate for companies such as Harley-Davidson comes from their financial ties (from above) with BlackRock and Vanguard ..
Indian motorcycle company died in 1953. Someone made a Harley replica with "Indian motorcycle" looking fenders and some other parts. The company is now a Polaris owned, Victory designed Honda quality motorcycle. It had to change It's fairing to look more Harley. Anyone saying they are any relation to the actual Indian motorcycle company is just being stupid. I'm glad their CEO isn't doing this woke nonsense and hope they never do.

@@DennisMerwood-xk8wp so ? Polaris is 100% American .
@@Notimetoplaywu Polaris is also 100% junk, look at their quads
@@rotnlilme yup, quads are junk . I worked for HD and the in the 14 years that they've made Indian I'd already say that they are a superior American motorcycle to HD . Some people might argue with you that Victory is a good motorcycle too . 🍻
@@DennisMerwood-xk8wp I was referring to the word Indian as in American, ACE
hahahaha yeah, i see the diverse riding Harley Davidsons all the time. I lived in a place where they were the baby boomers who rode the bikes. Baby boomers who at one time were as proud to wear their Harley T shirts and jackets as we used to wave the American flag, eat apple pie and go to the ball games. They are taking all our American icons away, so we have nothing of original representation of America.

good for Indian.. I would actually buy one if they still had S&S engines like they did back in 2000!
@@marvelharris9540 Take a 116 Thunderstoke out for a demo ride, then get back to me! 😁
A couple of years ago I bought a smashed V rod with intent to rebuild it. It sat in my basement collecting cobwebs ever since. I dug it out last week and I am currently starting to install a 1986 Yamaha V max engine in it !!!
They shrank the merch area at my local HD Dealership so they could cram as many bikes in there as possible.
Former HD’s rider/owner here...never have I felt more honored to ride own v4’s 🇯🇵 made. The Japanese aren’t woke, neither am I...
I’ve bought five Harley’s over the last three years and have spend many thousands on parts and merch too. I will not spend another dime with Harley until they fire that loser ceo and apologize for their disgusting ways.
I cannot understand this. Americans buy Apple Phones but theyre not made in USA? So why the uproar, progressive Managment is just that PROGRESS in Manufacturing , better product, better profit. Not hard to understand.
It all started when they tried to get the younger crowd into the electric bikes. Nobody wants an electric HD. You cant appeal to EVERYONE. You need to take care of your core customers first. Harleys arent for everyone, its just the facts.
The South Park episode titled, "The F Word" describes perfectly who rides a Harley.
Clue: The F word rhymes with bag, tag, or lag. 😂
Yep. We don't need millennial back pack wearing t bags. Keep moving bra
This ship is sinking….FAST!
So glad I bought one before this dude became CEO. He must go or Harley is sunk.
They are already sunk.
Same thing happened to our military.
Did ya'll catch the new Harley Queef? It runs on unicorn farts and rainbows.
I sold mine off and bought an Indian I'll never own another Harley ever again
Well I always wanted an INDIAN bike, 🏍️
M8 sounds like old Honda Magna..deal breaker
I just wish Indian made a factory trike. I would get ride of my TriGlide Ultra in a heartbeat.
Proud of my Suzuki now😀
He’s going to leave on a Golden Parachute either way…
Indian has nothing to do with this.
Its worse here in Australia. Bought my 1st Shovel new in 1984. Horrified to find out my 2023 Ultra was built in Thailand. It gets worse. There are 2 models made in CHINA. But they have not worked out a way to sell them to Americans without massive backlash. They are selling them here, and now.
The president of Harley Davidson clearly doesn't understand its customer base so Harley needs to get the bud light treatment and lose Billions in revenue for a few years or until they apologize to its customers for going woke
Diversity is happening in medical
121 years of American history down the drain!
Indian is a nice bike!
Indian motorcycles is going to have a sales explosion!!! 🏍️
does that mean that Polaris manufacturing in Monterrey Mexico and Bangalore India will also get a big boost?
UMM,BUD LIGHT ANYONE!
Years ago an old friend purchased an HD. We went out riding a lot, he had to have the complete HD regalia to ride. All HD branded gear and constantly asking me “when are you gonna get a real bike” odd. One day went by to go riding and he stated “I can not ride because I don’t have a clean T-shirt” meaning he didn’t have a clean HD T-shirt to wear under his HD leather jacket. To this day we don’t let him live that down. Other HD riders used to ask him “why you riding with those guys” as the rest of our group didn’t owned any HD bikes. Now he only rides that HD two or three times a season the rest he rides a Honda.
And this is why I love my honda shadow.
What in the world is wrong with people!! They should fire this man send him home, and find an American CEO !!!
When I was looking for a new bike last year, I had decided that at my age and after 2 wrecks, I couldn't realistically do another sport bike. I decided on an Indian Chief and have absolutely loved it. All the Harley crap going on right now has just made me even more certain that I made the right decision.
I turned my back on Harley Davidson when I tried to trade inn the very same motorcycle that I bought from them and offered peanuts !!, not to mention their new sales people where very unprofessional, zero knowledge and careless to finish a sale, took my motorcycle and trade it on Indian Motorcycle without any issues. They were very nice and giving me way better deals , free maintenance, and still invited me since 4 months until now to any event, 100% better than any “ Diversity Company “, period.
I guess the hell's angels have a bit of a dilemma now.
As I understand this - the "DEI" mandate for companies such as Harley-Davidson comes from their financial ties (from above) with BlackRock and Vanguard ..
The CEO of Harley Davidson is a WEF insurgent.
I owned Harleys for 50 years
I don't use factory parts or ever rely on dealerships for anything
Indian motorcycle company died in 1953. Someone made a Harley replica with "Indian motorcycle" looking fenders and some other parts. The company is now a Polaris owned, Victory designed Honda quality motorcycle. It had to change It's fairing to look more Harley. Anyone saying they are any relation to the actual Indian motorcycle company is just being stupid. I'm glad their CEO isn't doing this woke nonsense and hope they never do.
