Is this the Polaris thing they are talking about, just a bigger version of it?

And the reason they would have to use alloy wheels is because going by their "production figures" of around 850,000 a year I doubt they have enough Indians to spoke 1.7 mill wheels each year

Valsp, to be fair that car looked much better and more like what it was trying to copy than the monstrosity above does!!

OK, so how could they clean up this visual mess?



It shouldn't be too hard to design a classic-looking girder fork with some modern suspension, and a nice separate 8" round headlamp to show that you're respecting the model's heritage rather than just plundering it for the model name or number.



The engine could rally be a narrower angle vee twin.



Then at the back if you want a spring frame with a classic look, surely the Indian Bullet frame we all know and love does that in spades and will let you use a sprung saddle rather than thing stuck out in thin air.



Go back and try again guys, you've shown you can do a reasonable job with the CGT and the new 650 twins.

Another load of shite forced on us by designers who think that 'hipsters' are the only people to ride bikes. How can the same company get the new Interceptor so right and then this hideous piece of crap so wrong?

Looks like a Yawnaha 1100 cruiser. With the usual RE production timing, this will arrive after the hipster craze fades in 2022. Anyone see a 650 on the road?

[Adrian]

Not in this country, I suspect.



The dealers' ads for the 650s have been up on ebay for months, but now they're taking about delivery in spring 2019. If I HAD wanted a twin I'd be having second thoughts by now and looking for something else.
