Polaris folds up the Victory tent and no doubt you have seen the last of the Empulse, too.     But there are likely to be bargains to be had at Victory dealers for a while.

Here is another article about Victory closing, this one from the motorcycle press. Dealers typically were selling only 20 units a year. It is amazing that Victory lasted as long as they did:

And here is an article regarding Victory's 10 best models. No wonder their sales were so slow.  But, read the first part of the article.  Apparently Polaris still has future plans for EV technology - as I suppose is true for most vehicle manufacturers: http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/victory/top-10-best-victory-motorcycles-of-all-time.html

It's so non-committal as to be useless.

Given the Empulse development history, however, they may be better served to develop behind closed doors.

Let's hope they do continue to work on a new generation of electrics - though I too wonder where they will sell them. I find the Indian brand to be as well-suited to selling electrics as Harley is ..
