Ouch well they're gonna have to change if they want to survive is how I see it.  It like how the automobile market in the US has shifted from cars to SUVs.  They should look at BMW as an example, BMW has a little bit of everything is why they're doing so well.  I'm still amazed by they're bikes even though I don't own one.  BMW is a premium brand too!

Polaris could just re-release the victory empulse as Indian empulse and destroy Harley.
Put some updated cells in it and it will compete with Zero and others at around $14500

that and the ideas from this forum incorperate them and you should have a winner.

Brian Wiseman should know ;)

They still have the Empulse RR they use for racing also, that's like a totally different animal homologate that beast!

Except Brian is now working for Zero as their Technical Director, I believe.  ;)
