Victory is done


max power

Was never my cup of tea... I liked the way the vision looked, but I'd have bought a wing instead... The rest of their products bored me. But then I was never their target market. 

Harley was their big bullseye, and the only Harley I really like is the livewire concept.

I think Polaris' cruiser sales are growing, but Indian is cannibalizing Victory sales.  It's kind of odd to have 2 lines competing with each other in the same basic market. 

Yep. It's Lincoln and Mercury with bikes.

Sell it to Erik Buell?

I have to suspect they intend to use some of the technology, tooling and manufacturing capacity for Polaris's Indian brand. Indian still has a pretty limited model selection and I imagine small volume. The main reason for closing it is that the 2 directly compete, so I greatly doubt they would sell it.

It's not all that odd for some reason. different price points though.

 

So no more spare parts.

 

Obama's EPA rules to blame?
