Will be interesting to see what happens. I think those people looking for a cheaper Indian may be disappointed but at least there may be a few out there and some certainty for the brand at long last

Surely all they'll do is re-brand their existing range as "Indian" and take it from there.

Since I would dearly love a 1953 Indian Chief, I wish them every success. I am aware that makes no sense.

Scott Wine is saying it will be autonomous

they would make no friends in any camp by just re-badging a Victory, plus Indian already has it's own engine and gearbox. Some economies of scale will no doubt come into play but I hope it will be a little more than just a face-lifted Vic.
