more than likely a 2015 Polaris indian is in my future. I'm not buying one till we have a established local indian dealer. learned my lesson the hard way on that.
The drifter isn't going anywhere though.

Nope. I really like the Drifter. Don't get me wrong the new Indian looks great but everyone puts a price on their fun. I can have a hell of a time on a $4500 bike. It may not say Harley or Indian on it but for every $20,000 dollar bike there are a hundred great low millage bikes that someone bought and never rode just like my '99er.

- April 26, 2014, 10:30:49 AMA good example of "bikes being sold with few miles" is the Drifter; almost all the Drifters I see for sale are low mileage; the odd one with 20,000 or more, almost all are under 10,000. Mine had 5500 or so on it. I get the feeling mine had been in an accident before I bought it though; found some repair to the gas tank on it, evidence that it had been repainted... plus one of the pads under the tank was missing, an 'o' ring under the gas cap, and some 'swelling' in the clearcoat, evidence of a mild reaction between the original and new clearcoat or paint. All this being said, I wonder if the original owner wiped out and scared himself into getting rid of it.....his loss, my gain!!

The good news is that it lets other people buy them with someone else having taken the hit on depreciation.Somehow, I'm thinking that it will be hard to find someone who will put 20k on one of these. I would, you would, but the "average" poseur won't......Hard to get that kind of mileage bar hopping. Am I being cynical? Naaahhhh.

A Polaris owned Indian is a 'when' not an 'if' for me.
A black Vintage is in my future.
