i was at my local Victory dealer today, Mies Outland in Watkins MN, getting new rubber put on my XC when I got involved in a pretty in-depth conversation with my sales guy I have been dealing with for several years now.
I had inquired a couple other times about whether they were also going to try and be an Indian dealer besides Vics. Well today he confirmed it. Indian is coming to Mies Outland. In fact, they are going to put an addition on their building to add to their showroom just for Indian. They will have a partial wall between the two showrooms to 'separate' Vic from Indian. He also reitterated Polaris's belief that Indian will outsell Vic in 2-3 years. The Polaris rep hinted to the dealer there are many cool things to come from Indian.
I asked my sales guy if he has seen any photos or anything of the new Indian. He claims he hasnt and that the sales staff have been pestering their owner for the same thing and even the owner of the dealership claims to have not seen the new Indian. Polaris really has kept it a closely guarded secret.
I asked about the price-point of $18,999 and what would come with the bike, if anything. Sales guy thinks that will be a bare-bones bike, no saddlebags or windscreen or much of anything. Still a much cheaper price-point than Indian used to be.
Off topice about Vics: Asked him why the Boardwalk isnt selling. Says price-point is too high when for 2grand more you can get a cross country. He thinks that is the #1 reason why they arent selling. He is also concerned about base-model Vics like the Vegas fading away. No entry level bikes or smaller framed bikes for females or your bar-hopper bike. Models are getting limited.
