Nute Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Indian bought out the FTR in 2019. Since then Indian have won the super twin class 4 times & I can't find the results for last year, so it might be 5, i.e. every year. . Harley have won the twin class twice (dunno about the result for 2023). Not sure what the difference between twin and super twin is ( and dont care enough to google it ). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Flat_Track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point Harley will up their game but they seem to be more focussed on the larger displacement bagger racing at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nute Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I’ll be the first to admit I know nothing about Harley’s but it does seem that actually having some competition, in the form of Indian, might be good for both companies. A lot of the big Harley’s actually had relatively low power outputs ( but reasonable torque) but more recently the sportster s ( and others) has seen this improved with a liquid cooled engine. Might seem like an abomination for the air cooled purists but If I could get past the feet forward riding stance I’d consider one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The competition has been good for them but they have other agendas as well including electric and other genres like dual sport. Indian is just a brand, not a manufacturer like Harley. The problem the motorcycle world has is electric, if everything switched to electric right now, the motorcycle industry would die as a whole. In thirty years time everything will look very different. I’ll be even better looking and you will have have been suffocated by your chins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going electric....not on my watch....even car manufacturers are all pulling away from it now...it's a total bullshit of a bad idea...mostly propaganda from the left pussys everimental freaks....

My FTR is a brilliant fun and certainly no copy. Bikes made for the US cruiser market all look similar because it’s what the yanks want, but seems to me Harley only upped their game and produced a liquid cooled engine with a decent power output because Indian were doing it? Indian is not going to challenge Harley in terms of sales, at least not for a long time. There is a chunk of the bike riding community who just want a Harley because it’s a Harley, just like there are Ducati die hards. Indian hasn’t got that brand cachet. At least not yet. Just noticed you are in Edinburgh, I got mine from Saltire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
