For Indian, 2012 represents 110 years since the first motorcycle bearing the namesake rolled off whatever sufficed for production line at the Hendee Co. in 1901. To celebrate, Polaris Industries, owner of the Indian brand since April of this year, is celebrating the occasion with special badging on all 2012 models. The twenty-twelve bikes will be the first produced under the auspice of Polaris. According to company spokesman, Robert Pandya, the Polaris-built Indians are endowed with minor technical changes and a few new colors.

There are three Indian Chief models for 2012, Vintage, Dark Horse and Classic ranging in price from $26,500 to $36,700. The hand-built Indians are powered by a 105 cu. in., fuel-injected, air-cooled, 45-degree Powerplus V-Twin. Power reaches the rear wheel via a belt drive attached to a six-speed transmission. Hauling the 800-pound machines to a stop is a trio of Brembo braking components.

The $26,500 Indian Chief Classic is available in solid Indian Red with gold script and solid Thunder Black with silver script with a black leather seat, chrome wheels and black wall tires. The $28,000 Dark Horse is painted Thunder Black Smoke with a black leather seat, black wheels tires. The Vintage Chief is available in both solid colors, Thunder Black and Indian Red for $35,600 and two-tone schemes, Indian Red and Ivory Cream, Arizona Turquois and Winter White, and Willow Green and Ivory Cream for $36,900.

Fountain Inn, SC United States		Polaris was nice enough to send me these photos. Notice the familiar background on some of them.

Still way over-priced, out of the reach of most of the market.

I'd rather see Victory put an adjustable windscreen on the Cross Country ala BMW's electric.

You know...keep your repeat customers happy instead of putting this effort into a bike no one's going to buy.

Personally, I'm glad it is out of reach of most of the market. I hope one day I can afford to saddle up.

Victory and Indian are entirely two seperate efforts by Polaris, so Indians aquisition has nothing to do with putting a BMW electric windshield on a Cross Country.

There will be plenty of buyers of the Indian, probably more now that they have a strong backing and won't fold up overnight.

I think of it as Chevrolet and and Cadillac. Victory is Chevy with a moderate price and great quality. Now that Polaris owns Victory they have quality to go along with that Cadillac ride. I LOVE the CTS-V but I ain't throwing down $64 for one. Let's hope it all works out because that means more dealers for all those owners afraid to leave the neighborhood cause it just might break down and they won't have cellphone service.....
