Dear Polaris,
We are not, for the most part, shareholders. We are the men and women who went and bought Victory Motorcycles. We researched our purchases, some more than others of course but we put our hard earned money on the line. You collected that money and ignored us for the most part because well , now it seems that you never cared as long as you managed to get our money!
There was some amazing engineering and some really dedicated builders who ensured that we consumers got bang for our buck! That we did! A lot of minds were changed, hardcore twin enthusiasts who dedicated themselves to another brand bought Victories after we let them ride ours.
You've shamed us Polaris! We believed and we bragged and we even welcomed Indian and you betrayed us! Sold us down the river! You are the worst type of bottom feeding corporation and all that is wrong with unchained capitalism. I for one will never buy another Polaris product in my lifetime unless you back away from this decision.

Polaris - this is a big disappointment. I dont believe you truly appreciate the angst that you are causing with this decision. Hoping the bean counters are put aside and you do the morally correct thing. If it ain't losing money you are making money. And if you think all those Victory riders are going to switch over to Indian, you are very mistaken and you can kiss those riders goodbye. For a few years the rumour of Polaris dropping Victory has been floating around. In the face of that you continued to push the brand. I've ridden both, and none of the Indians work for me.. a Harley will - heck I already own one of those, I just dont ride it.

Victory is by far the best motorcycle on the market. Do not cease production on this brand! This will wreck the motorcycle world force thousands of motorcycle enthusiast to seek other unwanted brands of motorcycle. KEEP VICTORY STRONG!

I own two Victory's. A 2012 XCT, and a 2016 X1 Stealth. I believe this descision will drive loyal Polaris customers away. As long as Victory was around I had no need to look a a Harley. But I guess Polaris just gave me one. The customer service and dealer support has already been hideous. And now I see why, they obviously care less about their brand then their customers do.

Cancelling the Victory brand erodes any confidence I would have in backing any other Polaris products. I will hot be trading in my Victory for an Indian. Guess its back to Japanese bikes.

The brand that made others accountable in the market. Please reconsider the tragedy of the demise of the Victory Motorcycles. Simplify, stick to minimal models and simply make a few great bikes. Leave that electric business to others. Make Victory lean, support small but great dealers. It can be done if the customers sell them and the marketing jackals are elsewhere feeding on the company but ruining the brand.

At 6'5", with a 6'2" wife, these are the only bikes that "fit". I'm on my 3rd Victory, have brought many people to the brand (1 Jackpot, 1 Kingpin), and have no intention of ever riding a different brand.
