So . . . . current owner/rider? Prospective member? Just visiting? All, or none of the above are fine, just curious. Welcome from Texas.

Welcome from Minnesota!

SIL rides a Vicky Cross Roads. GREAT ride! I think Polaris made a mistake dropping the line. But then they didn’t ask my opinion!

I have a 2018 S10, love the bike. Road to the Arctic Circle this summer, bike worked flawlessly. I also have 2 Victory’s that I really enjoy riding.
Nice! I also have a 2018 and had a 2012 CCT. Sold the Vic last year as I decided to go down to 1 bike and the Vic was the odd man out. Love that bike, wish I could have kept it but I was just not riding it as much as I wanted to and was hard to watch it sit there.
Ride safe!

Polaris is Polaris, and there's nothing wrong with that. But Indian is Indian . . . . a whole lot more panache and history. And I've always assumed that their long-term plan is to steal H-D faithful. Indian can do that much more effectively than Polaris.

I agree, the Indian name does have more panache. For minimum effort though, I think they could have kept Victory going and morphed it into a different segment than the Cruisers.

There was a LOT of discussion within Polaris at the time and Polaris was not willing to commit the wherewithal to bring Indian into the fold and keep Victory rolling. While it was not a bad decision within the context of the time, there is recognition now of opportunities lost.

It's kinda like GM and Chevrolet. Basically the same truck, but their sales numbers are kept separate. Meanwhile Ford touts that they have the number one selling truck for "X" consecutive years.
