If I was looking for a new bike I would want one of those! I see a aftermarket license plate bracket kit in the near future... Heck, I could make one.

Makes me like the muffler on 8V Griso. The dash looks like a Motus dash.

120 HP and 520 LB

Made in USA. Looks right. A cafe flyscreen would just do it. Looks like midmounts to rear sets, not bad and certainly a change for Indian.

150 rear tire? Must be a sharp handling bike.

So are they unveiling the bike at all the dealerships or just to the media?

Good lord. Polaris has never made a pipe that looked good-ever.
The rest of the bike-looks like a blast.

Gliderjohn · « **Reply #7 on:** October 01, 2018, 02:15:46 PM »

Yep, that muffler would have to go! Kind of like putting vertical truck exhaust stacks on a Corvette. Good looker otherwise, just no balance with that gross muffler.

It's similar "looking" to the ones on the flat track bikes.

That looks like one hell of a fun ride!

steven c · « **Reply #9 on:** October 01, 2018, 02:58:10 PM »

Nice looking bike. I hope they sell.

wavedog · « **Reply #10 on:** October 01, 2018, 03:32:19 PM »

Welp- while it may be a great performing bike, and a fun bike to ride, based on its looks I would say a swing and a miss. Too bad. Close but no banana. It looks like it is a mashup of five different stylists who were not communicating. Yuk. Y'all can relax, I couldn't buy one even if I wanted and I know that I am not the target consumer. The target consumer will undoubtedly like the looks/styling. Good on Indian for putting out this bike, but the unfinished cartoonish faddish look has no sense of timeless style that will endure for long. It does not look like Indians flat tracker and that is disappointing. I may eat those words in time, if I live long enough. For those that like this look, I hope you really enjoy ripping around on this bike. Should be fun!

Well, the front 1/2 looks good !

TimmyTheHog · « **Reply #12 on:** October 01, 2018, 03:54:12 PM »

as I copy ans pasted what I said in the other page:

I quite liked the prototype with its exhaust and its nimble design feel...

the actual bike looks like a pig to me...just like how the Ducati scrambler 1100 is...

The feel is all wrong...to me anyway...

Again it's my personal opinion :P

it is no longer a "flat tracker" but rather a street bike trying to look like a dirt bike...

LowRyter · « **Reply #13 on:** October 01, 2018, 04:06:27 PM »

I think they nailed the styling. I'd would like to see a cafe version.

JJ · « **Reply #14 on:** October 01, 2018, 04:09:50 PM »

Cool beans overall...but it looks similar to a Ducati 1200 Monster!! (IMHO)

I must wholehartedly agree! Looks like they ran out of ideas after the seat. Way fugly mudguard or is that a bumper?

Seat is way too short. It and the muffler end and then there is this huge gap with tire and a mini-me mud guard. They need to take the seat back with the muffler.

LBC Tenni · « **Reply #17 on:** October 01, 2018, 04:39:22 PM »

I wouldn’t trade my Griso for one, but I must say this is the most exciting American bike I have seen in a long time. Take note HD. Polaris just unwrapped your lunch.

tazio · « **Reply #18 on:** October 01, 2018, 04:48:41 PM »

An odd look about it in the photos.
Not Beautiful Strange as in the GRiSO, just odd.
But I bet it looks and flows better visually in person..hope so.

The swingarm is longer than the "custom", likely to make the anti-wheelie not work so hard.

Interesting it is in a pretty mild state of tune, too.

rocker59 · « **Reply #21 on:** October 01, 2018, 06:07:20 PM »

Kick Ass! Impressive effort! Love it!

jas67 · « **Reply #22 on:** October 01, 2018, 06:24:54 PM »

I like it, a LOT!

As others have said, the muffler is fugly though. Hopefully, the aftermarket comes out with a slimmer looking slip-on that isn't too loud.

This is definitely a shot over the Harley Street Fighter's bow.

Frulk · « **Reply #23 on:** October 01, 2018, 06:37:25 PM »

As mentioned in various posts....

The Good:

120 HP and 520 LB Made in USA....

Good on Indian for putting out this bike....

Well, the front 1/2 looks good !....

but I must say this is the most exciting American bike I have seen in a long time. Take note HD. Polaris just unwrapped your lunch....

The Bad :

Those gold forks (my contribution)

The Ugly:

Makes me like the muffler on 8V Griso...

Good lord. Polaris has never made a pipe that looked good-ever...

Kind of like putting vertical truck exhaust stacks on a Corvette...

Way fugly mudguard or is that a bumper?....

Will I go down to Indian and look at it?.....sure. In the hopes that it will look better in the flesh than the pics Kev posted here. And the only way it has a chance of coming home with me at that time is if Indian has an aftermarket exhaust available right then and there to pull the OEM off and replace it with.

tazio · « **Reply #24 on:** October 01, 2018, 06:56:57 PM »

Can you purchase just the left side of the bike?

Aaron D. · « **Reply #25 on:** October 01, 2018, 07:01:22 PM »

Two models-the less expensive has no gold forks.
Indian is offering an optional pipe-I think by next spring there will be more choices!

Guzzistajohn · « **Reply #26 on:** October 01, 2018, 07:27:09 PM »

ANYTHING but another funky ass "cruiser" I'm sick of that styling! If I see leather fringe just one more time I swear, I'll friggin' HURL!!

Darren Williams · « **Reply #27 on:** October 01, 2018, 07:34:42 PM »

I am really happy to see it announced and can't wait to see one in person.

Only real issue I have with it is the 3.4 gallon tank and they thought it needed cruise control. I like the CC but I always try to turn everything into a sport touring bike, and need a bigger tank.

The performance sounds like top shelf. I would have been happy with the Scout 1100 motor and gearbox (which I thought was excellent).

Way to go Indian!

Devildog · « **Reply #28 on:** October 01, 2018, 08:51:44 PM »

Very cool bike and Akrapovic will sell something titanium to replace the ugly muffler.

I like how the mufflers look on the Indian.....not that I would compare it to any Moto Guzzi
