2011 Victory Hammer
Close on the heels of Harley Davidson beginning assembly of select models of its motorcycles in India, Victory Motorcycles, another company which manufactures cruiser motorcycles will soon set shop in India. Scheduled to showcase their motorcycles in the upcoming Indian Auto Expo in 2012, "Victory Motorcycles" will first bring it’s motorcycles to India in CBU(completely built unit) guise, after which it will set up an assembly unit.

According to Indian news outlet Business Standard, Victory will bring its cruisers and touring motorcycles to the lucrative Indian market. During Polaris’ 2010 fiscal report, Chief Executive Officer Scott Wine said the company had made several investments in markets like India.

Victory’s primary competitor in India will be Harley-Davidson which has an assembly plant in Haryana, India. Kawasaki, Honda, Suzuki and KTM (which is partially owned by India’s Bajaj Auto) also have assembly plants in India.
