Since this news broke Polaris has been very open about the reasons. Cost of developing separate lines and engine development was the main reasons. They stated that if not for the experience gained from Victory the success of Indian would not be possible. I guess how you have to look at it is that Victory will live with Indian badges on the gas tank.

I'm pretty sure Indian will be around for a good, long time. If nothing else they have forced Harley to clean up their act and reintroduced competition to the Cruiser category. Polaris isn't a little company and will give Harley a run for their money.
