    This color works better for me rather than that red and tan. But the fairing is ugly! JMO

    I've always like Indians tho I would prolly never buy one. I like the rack that they have on this one that is under the tout pak - interesting idea.

    hmm no place for tomahawk, me needum heap softer seat cover from palomino, squaw to close need sidecar for papoose...

    Looks good the Indian folks told us at bike week the tour pack was
    in the works. I like it,

    I've test ridden the bike , it's smooth and fast, faster than the CVO harley, more power too... Controls are a bit wonky the radio/lcd stuff is difficult but I'm sure you'd get used to it.

    Maybe sell CVO, get Indian, ride with stogies leaving heap big smoke signal,

    Trunk look like it carry plenty fire water and jerky...

    The faring is a bit odd, but it's that art deco front of a train look.
    and that ties with the art deco fender skirts,

    I like the fenders and the indian head on the fender, it will probably piss off some redskins and harry inbReid so that's good.

    Harry Reid will probably start a campaign to have Polaris change the name stating that the name Indian is derogatory to the all the native Americans.

    I looked closer at the pictures and feel like you HRK
