Victory was making money till you took it all for Indian. You were building a brand, now your just reusing a name!

Bad move on Polaris's part as this will not foster brand loyalty with Indian but will only foster apprehension as the next to fall regardless if it's true or not. I for one as a loyal and enthusiastic Victory owner of multiple Victory bikes will not be transitioning to any other Polaris product due to this poor decision from the Polaris executive team. Victory was about a ergonomic and superior engineered performance American bike that was vastly different. Somehow they lost sight of that fact and didn't continue to evolve focusing all engineering efforts to the Indian line leaving Victory to die on the vine. You could return Victory to high tech glory but elect to cut and run instead, shame on you Polaris.

Victory produces the most comfortable ride for a passenger riding 2-up with the Vision. Keep the brand alive.

Total shock seeing the Victory brand dropped from Polaris, Since I noticed more Vics sold at dealerships than Indians. Now the tall people like me have no new choice of motorcycle to ride because Victory had the leg room and the power of the Freedom Motor to move us around comfortably! Drop your Slingshot to Bring Victory back, or at least use the Freedom motor and core frame in a future Indian Bagger to appease us tall folk!

I understand doing what is necessary to manage the business and keeping share-holders happy, That said, I believe profitability could likely be favorable if Victory focused on the US Market only for this US home-grown motorcycle. Instead of eliminating the brand, I wonder if they considered eliminating the global network ONLY.
Also, what about the Victory Police bikes, it seems Vic was making great strides in police departments in... why because these bikes are great!!!

This is an amazing Motorcycle. If the brand was not moving its because Polaris didn't market it properly. I can't even remember the last time I saw a commercial on the bike or any other advertisement for that matter. Honestly if you can walk away from your brand, responsibilities, and your loyal customers like this, whats to say you would not do the same thing with the Indian Brand. I own them both. But shame on you for doing this. All your doing is making people think you will do the same thing with Indian so everyone will now go back to the only Motorcycle that has stayed true to its owners......Harley. Not because its better, but because they know they will always have a brand, parts and support.

Keep the dream alive. No Indian for me. If I wanted a 1950's bike I would have bought a Harley.

I have buyed a 2015 Victory Cross Country in 2016. When I park amoung HD, everybody's turn his head to look at the motorcycle.
This is the best Motorcycle I've ever own, very stable, easy to manoeuver despite of his weight, abd powerful.
You make a huge mistake as more and more peoples, in Canada, where looking to this bike with envy.
I was very confident as I could see more Victory motorcycle each time I rode. Keep it in production, even in limited edition, the value will be just greater then and more bikers would want to identify himself with the brand.
Keep it running please.
