I went on their site yesterday and did the configurator thing.  You have to add a lot to these bikes to get them to look like any of ours.  You can easily add $4-5k in options.  You end up at around $24-25k for their mid-level machine loaded.  For that kind of money, I could have a garage full of Drifters.

I too do not like the color choices.  I would like either the Ivory on my bike or a powder blue option.

The dealer network is pretty limited now.  I would have to drive over 50 miles to see or try one out.  Not every Polaris dealer will be an Indian dealer.  Many don't want the floor space taken up by another bike competing with their Victory machines that they are trying to move out of inventory, and they see a very limited market for this.

We may see a renewed interest in Drifters in the market place.

Okay what is everyone's opinion of the new 2014 Indian Chief? Polaris has taken a super sweet, super cool but way overpriced machine into a ugly, too modern looking, kinda overpriced disappointment. The headlight is ugly. The way the middle of the bike seems to be the same part as the rear fender like a car door flows into the fender of a car is all spaceshippy  looking. I don't like the instrument panel or the handlebars or pipes or the seats. No more two tone pastel colors. I was looking in the future for a American made bike, cause that's kinda how I am. But, I think I'll just keep my Drifter, it's way cooler.
