Victory Motorcycles is to Shut Down

Polaris Industries, also known as the firm that owns Victory and Indian Motorcycles, has announced that it is about to start winding down the Victory brand.

Existing inventory is to be liquidated although parts are to be available to suppliers for a period of 10 years as well as honouring warranties.

At the moment, it appears that this decision only affects Victory and not Indian.

The process of winding-up the business is to start immediately, and is expected to be complete within 18 months. All Victory patents, technologies and intellectual property remain the property of Polaris, so Indian and may benefit from the research and development Victory undertook.
