2013 Indian Chief Classic: Cool Factor 42%

Can we talk about time travel paradoxes...??? I think it would be easier to understand...

Further to previous comments I voted cool = on the basis of the fact that this though very American in style is NOT a Harley Davidson & is at least an attempt to revive/sustain an existing marque. Perhaps in addition to the "meh" option we should have a "hopeful/trying" vote?

I voted: FAIL

In fact, it's one of the few bikes I've voted fail on the Cool Wall. I know Polaris will make things better and hopefully not have a $27000 motorcycle as a base model. H-D is pricey but it's at least $10k less. What I am guessing is happening here is Polaris purchased the Indian company and the previous owners had a whole warehouse of parts around and thus built what they could to get rid of the parts. Shoulda been much, much cheaper, there was no reason to sell it over $15k I think.

I'm courious what Polaris is going to be bringing out for their 2014 Indians, hopefully something different than a Victory (not that anything is wrong with Victory's I am a fan of them).

I voted cool. The Indian brand is so iconic that to me it doesn't matter how many times it comes back, it's always cool. I realise this bike is VERY expensive but for the die-hard Indian fan it's probably not that much to buy into this classic make.
