Introducing the 2014 Indian Chief Classic, Chieftain and Chief Vintage...

 
Honoring our Past, Powering Our Future

Powering the new generation of Indian Motorcycle riders down the open road is the Thunder Stroke™ 111. This smooth, powerful new engine combines both style and power, displaying the same finning as seen on earlier Chiefs of the 1940s.

Inspired by the same visionary spirit that created some of the most iconic bikes to grace the road, the 2014 Chief® Classic, Vintage and Chieftain unite true Indian® style with today's most advanced bike building technology.


 
THE 2014 CUSTOM PAINT CROSS COUNTRY

2014 Victory Motorcycle Cross Country Custom Paint  
Want to stack this bold bagger motorcycle up against every other motorcycle in its category? Do it. For all-out riders, few motorcycles have this much power and feel as comfortable in the seat as the Victory Cross Country. It's a rider favorite among the Victory Motorcycles lineup with performance, comfort and storage to get you where you want to go. Hang on and enjoy the ride.

Visit us to order your limited-availability Cross Country with Factory Custom Paint. Victory's master custom painter designed the custom graphics by hand, and he combined them with colors that unleash full-throttle Cross Country attitude. Factory Custom Paint is applied to your Cross Country with meticulous attention to detail by the industry's top coatings professionals. It's the ultimate custom with limited availability, so visit us today and you too will have a Victory Motorcycle with a custom look!

In addition to the custome paint, the Victory Cross Country has a sleek, stylish fairing that offers impressive weather protection to enhance your ride. The fairing hosts the easy-to-read instrumentation and the integrated audio system with dual KICKER® Premium speakers. Accessory windshields are available in wide range of sizes, styles and colors.

The fairing features an integrated audio system with KICKER® Premium speakers that deliver powerful, crystal-clear sound to enhance every ride. AM/FM/Weather radio is standard, along with an auxiliary cord to use your MP3/iPod® as your music source.

Cruise control enhances your comfort, and Victory Anti-Lock Brakes give a rider greater confidence and peace of mind. Out on the open road, the automotive-quality cruise control lets you relax and enjoy the ride. With Victory ABS, when traction is compromised, the ABS immediately and automatically provides reliable braking to help you stop quickly and under control. (Not available on Cross Country 8-Ball or Suede Titanium Metallic models.)

These saddlebags deliver exactly what you're looking for. They provide 21.3 gallons of convenient, lockable storage space. The lids have a weatherproof seal to help block the elements and protect your cargo, and they open and close easily with one-handed operation.

Victory Cross Country riders rule the streets with attitude and performance. The 106-ci Victory® Freedom® V-Twin delivers 106 ft-lb of torque, and it's a smooth, efficient engine - counter-balanced and fuel-injected. The 6th gear overdrive of the Victory 6-speed transmission drops the RPMs and delivers the smooth ride you're looking for.

Ride solo or share the great Victory Cross experience. It has a roomy, stylish seat that's so comfortable you can ride all day and leave the pack behind. Add Lock & Ride® accessory backrests for custom style and extra support.

The 26.3" seat height is the lowest in its class. Riders with all inseam lengths will be able to plant both feet firmly on the ground. A lower seat height provides the rider with greater control of the bike and enhances a rider's confidence at low speeds and when stopped.

The 5.8-gallon fuel tank gives you outstanding range to keep your Victory Cross Country on the streets, not at a gas pump. Rule the streets and enjoy long stretches on the open road between fill-ups.

What are you waiting for? Visit Dick Scott's Classic Motorcycle today and start enjoying your New Victory now!

MONTHLY SPOTLIGHT
2014 RANGER 570

2014 polaris ranger 570  

 An all-new potent ProStar 40 HP engine now delivers 25% more power, leaving the next closest competitor in the dust. Engine placement behind the seats allows for an even quieter ride.

Our midsize chassis is built for work, even though it's engineered smaller than our XP. The RANGER 570 EFI gets the toughest jobs done, while being easier to maneuver, park and store inside barns and sheds, fit on a trailer or haul in the bed of many truc


Priced thousands less than full-size models yet with many of the same features, a mid-size RANGER is an incredible value and worthy of Hardest Working. Smoothest Riding.


True AWD keeps you moving, automatically engaging all four wheels when you need more forward traction and reverting back to 2WD when you don't. When in 2WD, the VersaTrac Turf Mode switch unlocks the rear differential for easier, tighter turns.

A full 10" of ground clearance keeps the ride smooth, clearing obstacles and reducing high-centering on rough terrain.

A 1,250 lb. towing capacity lets you tow trailers and wheeled equipment with ease.

Cab ergonomics deliver outstanding driver and passenger comfort, with extra legroom and easy cab slide-through design so two adults can get in and out quickly.

Our legendary smooth Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) has 9&" of travel and five-point adjustable preload so you can stiffen the suspension for heavy loads. The MacPherson Strut independent front suspension has a long 8" of travel.

The mid-size chassis - now with a 1" longer wheelbase - and lighter overall vehicle weight deliver easier handling and maneuvering on turf, trails and rough terrain.

The Polaris Ranger 570 is built tough. Visit us today and receive $200 in FREE Hunting Accessories with your purchase of any Ranger or Sportman!

MEMORIAL BLOOD CENTERS AND POLARIS TEAM UP TO SAVE LIVES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

September 3, 2013 (St. Paul, MN) - Woodbury Resident and regular blood donor Guy Hartwig is now the lucky owner of a brand new all-terrain vehicle (ATV), thanks to Polaris Industries Inc. (NYSE: PII). During the month of July, volunteers who stepped up to give blood with Memorial Blood Centers became eligible to win the Polaris Sportsman ATV in a special Fishing for Donors promotion. Guy's name was randomly selected in late August.

 

Warren Lopata, Marketing Director of Off-road Vehicles for Polaris Industries presented the Polaris ATV to Guy during a live broadcast of KARE at the Fair (KARE-11 TV) during the Minnesota State Fair. This was the second year in a row that Polaris has generously provided an ATV to promote the cause of blood donation.

 

 "I'm thrilled to win this," Hartwig said as he accepted the ATV, "but what's really important is the opportunity to be a blood donor and help save lives." Guy is a frequent donor at Memorial Blood Centers' Woodbury office.


His blood type, O- (negative) uniquely qualifies him as a universal donor, since his blood type can be given to people of all blood types. Further, type O- (negative) donors represent just 7% of the population, making Guy's regular donations since 2009 especially important.

 

The need for blood is every day and over 30 local hospital partners rely on Memorial Blood Centers to supply more than 2,000 units of blood every month-including throughout the summer when blood donations are typically low. Special promotions-like the ATV from Polaris- encourage eligible blood donors to make a special effort to donate during this time.

Donald C. Berglund, Chief Executive Officer of Memorial Blood Centers, noted "We are able to maintain a reliable blood supply for our community and the nation, thanks to the generosity of loyal donors, like Guy Hartwig. Polaris, too, has been an especially generous partner with Memorial Blood Centers. Not only is this the second year they have provided an ATV for our summer promotion, their employees donated over 1,100 units of blood since 1997. We are honored by their commitment to our life-saving mission."

 

"Polaris is proud to support the community and Memorial Blood Centers," added Lopata.  Polaris holds regular blood drives with Memorial Blood Centers at its headquarters in Medina, MN as well as facilities in Roseau, MN and Osceola, WI.

POLARIS DEBUTS NEW PRODUCTS FOR 2014 OFF-ROAD AND MOTORCYCLE LINES
New vehicles across the Company's product portfolio reinforce Polaris' reputation for innovation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MINNEAPOLIS, MN (July 31, 2013) - Polaris Industries Inc. (NYSE: PII) unveiled its new 2014 product offerings from its Motorcycle and Off-Road Vehicle divisions at the company's annual summer sales meeting. The lineup reflects the company's trademark of continued innovation, highlighted by the launch of new vehicles and enhancements to existing products.

 

All-new vehicles include additions to three key off-road brands: RZR®, with the RZR XP® 1000; RANGER® with the RANGER CREW® 900, RANGER 570 EFI, RANGER CREW 570 EFI, and; Sportsman® with the Sportsman 570 EFI all-terrain vehicle (ATV). Also new in 2014 are two Victory Motorcycles® 8-Ball models and a strong collection of limited edition vehicles, not to mention the Indian® Motorcycle debut of the Chief, in Sturgis, S.D. on August 3.

 

"Polaris captured number one market share in powersports through innovation and it is our continued investment in research and development that positions us to continue building on our leadership position," said Bennett Morgan, president and chief operating officer of Polaris. "We've been the fastest growing original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for five consecutive years and we intend to do it again in 2014, with new innovations, new technologies and unprecedented products to drive growth around the globe."

 

Off-Road Vehicle Division

Polaris is the leader in the off-road industry thanks to the company's insatiable push to evolve its offerings. Model Year 2014 is another banner year for Polaris innovations, with new products across the RZR, RANGERand Sportsman ATV families of vehicles.

 

"Polaris has become the industry leader by aggressively introducing new products and continuing to innovate our current product lines," said David Longren, Polaris Off-Road Vehicle division's vice president. "Model Year 2014 is bringing epic amounts of new products and more enhancements to the most comprehensive off-road vehicle offering on the market."

RZR®

 

The Polaris RZR brand has led the recreational side-by-side vehicle market by offering the broadest product line, including trail, high-performance and four-seat offerings, all of which feature the ultimate combination of power, suspension and agility. For Model Year 2014, Polaris is delivering these qualities in unprecedented style with the brand-new RZR XP 1000.

The RZR XP 1000 features the all-new Polaris ProStar™ 1000 engine, which provides industry-leading 107 horsepower and a true 999ccs of displacement, making it the most powerful and largest engine in its class. The vehicle's High Performance On-Demand All-Wheel-Drive system has been redesigned to reduce the engagement time which, paired with Polaris Debuts 2014 Product Line / Page 2

 

standard Electronic Power Steering, gives the driver exceptional control. The new RZR XP 1000 also features advanced suspension, 25 percent more ground clearance, larger tires and industry-exclusive Walker Evans Position Sensitive Anti- Bottoming Needle Shocks on all four corners, providing the smoothest ride in any terrain.

 

RANGER®  

Last year, Polaris defined an all-new class of "Hardest Working, Smoothest Riding" with the RANGER XP 900. New for Model Year 2014, all the great features of the RANGER XP 900 and more are packaged in the all-new, multi-passenger RANGER CREW 900.

 

The RANGER CREW 900 offers hardest working features such as a 60-horsepower ProStar 900 engine, ability to tow one ton, new high capacity battery and stator, and integrated Lock & Ride™ PRO-FIT™ cab accessories. For smoothest riding, the RANGER CREW 900 features a more rigid chassis, easy steering, a wide wheelbase, extended rear suspension travel and exceptional ground clearance.

 

The midsize and midsize multi-passenger lines also have new members for 2014 with the introduction of theRANGER 570 EFI and RANGER CREW 570 EFI. These vehicles have all of the hardest working, smoothest riding features found on the previous 500cc versions, enhanced by a liquid-cooled, single-cylinder 570 engine delivering smooth acceleration and 25 percent more power than previous models.

 

In addition, the midsize and midsize multi-passenger lines will offer several limited edition models, all of which feature EPS for the first time.

 

Sportsman®

The Sportsman 500 has been the flagship of the Sportsman line since its introduction in 1996. For Model Year 2014, Polaris is taking its legendary, best-selling 4x4 ATV of all-time and making it better with the launch of the Sportsman 570 EFI.

 

The Sportsman 570 EFI takes the best-in-class Sportsman 500 H.O. to the next level with the addition of the liquid-cooled, single-cylinder Pro-Star 570 engine with electronic fuel injection, better ergonomics for increased comfort, new styling and more convenience features, all while still offering the best pricing in its class. Polaris also is offering a one-passenger model with Electronic Power Steering (EPS) and a two-passenger model, the Sportsman Touring 570 EFI, providing a full line of highest-performing, value-priced 500-class ATVs.

 

New this year, Polaris' premium line of ATVs (Sportsman XP 850 H.O and Sportsman 550) will include EPS standard on all models. Also added to these models is the rear suspension geometry developed for the 2013 Scrambler sport ATV, which provides a noticeably more responsive ride.

 

Joining standard models in Polaris' 2014 lineup are five limited edition models, all including EPS.

In compliance with the Specialty Vehicle Institute of America's (SVIA) Youth ATV categories, Polaris also is offering five youth ATV models for 2014, reflecting the company's ongoing commitment to rider safety and ensuring young riders have safe, age-appropriate vehicles to enjoy the riding experience.

 

Motorcycles

Model Year 2014 is a watershed moment for Polaris and its growing Motorcycle division. The company's original motorcycle brand, Victory Motorcycles, introduces three new models and a Factory Custom Paint Program. Polaris also will re-launch the first American motorcycle company, Indian Motorcycle. The 2014 model year will be the first in which consumers can purchase Indian Motorcycle models completely designed and manufactured by Polaris. Polaris Debuts 2014 Product Line / Page 3

 

"In Model Year 2014, for the first time in our history, Polaris is debuting two distinct motorcycle lineups. We continue to grow our Victory brand and lineup as we re-launch the legendary Indian Motorcycle brand," said Steve Menneto, vice president of Motorcycles for Polaris. "While the brands remain highly differentiated, they share high expectations to produce innovative, world-class products. At Polaris, we've always been all about the product. We are confident we'll not only meet, but exceed those expectations with both our Victory and Indian Motorcycle product lines."

 

Victory Motorcycles®

For Model Year 2014, Victory is offering more variety and features for the money for North American riders with three new models and five model updates. Highlighting this lineup are three new baggers.

 

For those looking for the strong, blacked out look in 2014, the Vegas 8-Ball and Hammer 8-Ball return, joined by two great bagger options, the all-new Cross Country 8-Ball® and Cross Roads 8-Ball®, giving consumers a whole new class of rides from which to choose when looking for an 8-Ball bike. The Cross Country 8-ball is loaded with blacked-out features from the exhaust to the engine including its weather-protecting sculpted fairing that includes a sound system driven by iPod connectivity. The Cross Roads 8-ball offers riders looking to step up to a bagger an outstanding value without sacrificing Victory's attitude or performance.

 

New for 2014, all three generations of the Ness family come together in one bagger with the Ness Cross Country Limited Edition, featuring Ness Legacy Paint, diamond-cut cylinders and custom designed seat cover, all at a price that offers the highest level of custom without the custom price. Victory Motorcycles also unveiled its new Factory Custom Paint program offering riders four Limited Quantity Cross Country baggers that are fully featured and dripping in color.

 

In addition to new models, Victory has updated the Judge™, Highball™ and Jackpot™ for 2014. The Judge has been enhanced with a variety of new features, including relaxed ergonomics for the most comfortable ride possible and updated styling. In addition to the classic black and white Highball, Victory showed off a new Highball with Havasu Red Flames over a black suede finish. The Jackpot has a new two-tone black over sunset red custom look, a color matched frame, color contrast wheels and a new lower price starting at $15,999.

 

Indian® Motorcycle

The launch of the all-new 2014 Indian Chief in Sturgis on August 3. It is the most-anticipated motorcycle launch in decades, signaling a new choice in American motorcycling and returning America's first motorcycle company to prominence with innovative design and engineering backed by the global distribution network of Polaris. The 2014 Indian Chief is the first Indian Motorcycle completely designed, engineered, tested and manufactured by Polaris since the company purchased Indian Motorcycle in April of 2011.

 

While the complete motorcycle will be revealed August 3, Indian Motorcycle has already shared details about the new Thunder Stroke™ 111 engine, which delivers both the raw power and iconic styling that are hallmarks of the legendary Indian Motorcycle brand. The new engine is the first clean-sheet Indian Motorcycle engine design since the 1940s. Also revealed is a starting price of $18,999 and a comprehensive event and demo program kicking off at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, an event started by an Indian Motorcycle club, the Jackpine Gypsies.
