Some people may be curious, why sell Indian? Of course, Indian is good, but he is already in the past, he failed to keep the glory of the past, and now he has already lost to Harley. It's really rich, go and buy Harley, Harley is no worse than the Indians.

Yes, that's totally true.

Today's Harley is indeed much stronger than the Indians. But if you just like it, you can just buy a car, and how much can you expect from a Harley?

The reason why we are engaged in investment is that the most fundamental purpose is to buy low and sell high, or to directly hoard our hands and eat dividends every year, which is the true meaning of investors. If you like it, you'll get it, and that's just play. Zhou Fangyuan also plays, but while playing, he is also adding various small support points for the group. The group is too big to rely on just a few major enterprises to maintain, and it needs many small peripheral enterprises to act as a support to jointly support the group.

These companies that act as scaffolds may not be familiar to Zhou Fangyuan, or they may not even have anything to do with the group's main business, just like the MG car that was invested in before. But as long as they have their own value and can bring benefits to the group, no matter how small, they are worth investing in. How hot Harley is now, do you need to say more? In this case, the acquisition of Harley's shares, that is not to find Marfa by yourself, Russia? On the other hand, the Indians, who were once in the midst of a low ebb of bankruptcy, were described in a very excessive way -- the Indians at this time were a loser's dog, and they could be said to be worthless.

At least in the eyes of some.

But in Zhou Fangyuan's eyes, it is different, first of all, the Indian brand is old enough, and the earliest American heavy locomotives still have a certain consumer base in North America. Secondly, it has its own heritage and traditions, and the technology cannot be said to be outdated, and the reasons for the decline of the Indians are varied, and in terms of technology alone, in fact, the gap is really not big. In the end, it is Zhou Fangyuan's prophetic ability as a reborn, and of course he knows what the future of the Indian brand is. It is almost impossible to compete with Harley for the first place again, but the Indians, who have reorganized after 10 years, have burst out with a lot of energy and occupied a lot of market share with the help of the new owner.

Considering that it is now bankrupt, if you start at this time, the brand of Indian, the technology inside, is hidden in the market around the world...... These are all from the distant group.

In that case, why not take it down?

As for hobbies, hobbies, there are actually a lot of options.

Just count them and name five or six brands of cruises, it's really not difficult at all.

For example, the Harley-Davidson electric glider may not be a fan of the Harley-Davidson's unique body shape, but the ability to continue to innovate has given the brand the ability to continue to survive in a changing world, and these capabilities are perfectly reflected in this car, with plush seats and shiny chrome wheels that will appeal to the next generation of luxury riders.

Not only the cruise, but also the Harley's very large lineup is very good.

The SOFTAIL softtail is simple, pure, and powerful – the words themselves are synonymous with driving a motorcycle.

Since its inception in 1984, the Harley-Davidson Softail has become the world's most popular line of custom tuning cars. The essence of the Softail model is to keep the engine on a rigid mount, which reflects the stiffness of the rear end while providing the smoothest driving feeling, and the answer comes from the Twin Cam88B engine, whose tightly encapsulated steel mount design minimizes vibrations as the vehicle roars forward. Inheriting the simplicity and sophistication of the hardtail bikes over the years, and continuing to set the design trend and make other models reluctantly "follow the trend", this motorcycle is the definer of fashion. The most important thing for the Softail collection is that it is a truly classic fashion that never goes out of style.

The TOURING touring series, which is based on millions of miles of testing and driver feedback, is deeply rooted in the tradition of Harley's sleek design, combined with excellent throttle response, excellent highway ride and exceptional low-speed handling performance, resulting in a smooth, comfortable and enjoyable ride for the driver. In 1999, the Twin Cam®88 engine dramatically improved the power, reliability and durability of the Touring motorcycle, and in the years that followed, Harley-Davidson promised to create the best Touring bikes and continued to make design improvements – V-Twin pulses, bare shiny chrome and steel, luxurious rides, generous luggage space, and a variety of features that gave riders an exceptional motorcycle riding experience.

The DYNA series, born to chase the distant horizon, is a combination of style and performance, and it inherits the original custom style. The Dyna series is truly a two-wheeler, one-car philosophy. Combining custom design with high performance, the Dyna model is a motorcycle that is completely for the driver. A little less post-embellishment, a little more initial nature.

Founded in 1957, the Sportster is the lightest, most agile and longest-lived Harley-Davidson line. With their signature "eyebrow-shaped" headlight covers, tapered fuel tank and sleek, lightweight frame, these one-of-a-kind contours set the Sporster apart from the rest of the Harley-Davidson lineup. Wherever you go, you'll enjoy agile and responsive riding.

This is Halle.

Another example is the Triumph Cross Country, which has been successfully built as a tourist setting for a cruising motorcycle, with a distinctive forward tilting posture and some of the necessary features for a cruising car, such as cruise control, standard ABS and an upgraded exhaust system.

There may not be many people who know about this brand.

Victory Motorcycle, the new generation of heavy motorcycles in the United States. Refuse to be conservative, and are born to love subversion. In 1998, it was first launched in the United States market, adhering to the talent of the parent company POLARIS Industries in power technology, and in the past 10 years, VICTORY has achieved great results. Among them, the V-twin engine and cruising motorcycle have attracted the attention of the heavy-duty motorcycle industry in the United States. This is all because VICTORY Motorcycle firmly believes that forward-looking innovation that focuses on driving experience is the only way for American heavy-duty motorcycles to continue to achieve classics. Victory Motorcycle has been ranked first in J. North America's Heavy Duty Locomotive Customer Satisfaction Survey for seven consecutive years. A new era of American locomotives was opened.

With the gradual promotion of Polaris brand all-terrain off-road vehicles in China, in October 2011, Polaris' professional heavy-duty motorcycle brand - VICTORY Motorcycles also followed, becoming another proof of the power sports culture advocated by Polaris. Victory Motorcycle, luxury but not arrogant, happy but not tired, only for the peak people who really pay attention to the ultimate experience of motorcycle driving, find a new way, and feel the new masterpiece of American luxury heavy motorcycles.

If you play cruising, this is definitely also a good option.

BMW K1600 GTL, BMW has dominated the world of touring cruising motorcycles, BMW motorcycles are characterized by a nimble sports body that is able to ride smoothly on rough roads, and in addition to that, the driver is able to enjoy all the luxury amenities. The inline six-cylinder engine with adjustable suspension makes it powerful, and although it is a large locomotive, its weight is well controlled.

Honda Gold Wing GL1800, if there is not a Honda Gold Wing on the list, then it would be pointless to talk about a touring cruise car. For many years, the Golden Wing was one of the standards for cruising cars. It has a comfortable space. With huge seats and a low chassis, and the ability to keep bumps in the road to a minimum, its six-cylinder engine doesn't scream, but it gives you a lightning-fast feel.

All of the above is not to be introduced, BMW Honda, which are all very famous brands.

But then, it's time to be a little grander.

Triumph Trophy SE, strictly speaking, it should belong to the sports tourism motorcycle, but it is not impossible to use it as a cruising motorcycle. In addition to a 1215cc inline three-cylinder engine, this large locomotive is packed with electronics, traction control, cruise, ABS, tire pressure monitors, adjustable headlights and drive-by-wire throttle valves, etc., to make you feel like you're getting your money's worth, and when you're out on the cruise, you can also choose an anti-theft lock to prevent your car from being stolen.

As for why this car is grandly introduced, the main thing is to introduce this brand.

There must not be many people who know about Triumph.

However, those who have watched the film "Fast and Furious: Special Ops" should have the impression that the audience is hilarious in various big scenes + classic drag racing scenes. And the most impressive thing is the Triumph motorcycle ridden by the villain "Black Superman" in the film.

In the movie, the Triumph motorcycle is like a lightning, ghostly, mysterious, unpredictable, not only can instantly pass through the big truck, complete the transformation and transformation, but also gently touch the soles of the feet, instantly load people to the body, strong agility, as if a motorcycle with a soul. The stunning performance of Triumph Motorcycles in the movie has aroused people's curiosity, some people think that it is an emerging motorcycle brand, and some people think that it is a series of Harley.

However, they all guessed wrong, in fact, Triumph is one of the oldest motorcycles in the UK, it was once synonymous with the most reliable motorcycle, not only won the first place in major competitions, but also was popular among young people in Europe and the United States, recording the youth of a generation.

If Harley is synonymous with American motorcycles, then Triumph is the symbol of British motorcycles. Don't look at the fact that Triumph is far less well-known than Harley now, but in fact, the history of Triumph is longer than Harley.

In 1886, Siegfried Batemann, a German immigrant, founded the Triumph Bicycle Company in Coventry, England, with the financial support of his friend Moritz Schulte (also a German immigrant), to produce Triumph bicycles. The end of the 18th century was the era of great development of internal combustion engine technology. A year before Triumph was founded, German engineers Gottlieb Delham and Wilhelm Maybach produced the first motorcycle by mounting a gasoline four-stroke engine on a wooden bicycle. Since then, bicycles powered by internal combustion engines (early motorcycles) have become very popular in Europe. Triumph also produced the first motorcycle in 1902 under Bateman's leadership, but the engine came from the Belgian company Minerva.

Later, models with German-made 376cc engines were introduced. Triumph joined Norton and Royal Field as one of the first companies in the UK to produce motorcycles. But Bateman always had one thing in mind: using German engines was not a long-term solution, and Triumph had to have its own engine. The task was entrusted to Charles Hathaway, the technical director of Triumph, who in 1904 succeeded in developing an engine: a large single-cylinder, four-stroke, 363cc displacement that produced three hp at 1,500 rpm. Charles mounted it on a Triumph bike and named it 3HP.

After that, Triumph invited Ike Sheen, a well-known motorcycle journalist at the time, to test it on the road in a 3HP. Ike Sheen successfully rode nearly 1,300 miles, during which time the Triumph bike caused a sensation by setting a world record without major breakdowns. However, Triumph was not satisfied, in order to further seek breakthroughs in engine technology, Bateman set up a Triumph Engine Company, convened many mechanics to study engine technology, and sponsored major motorcycle races. With its strong performance, Triumph motorcycles not only won the first place in major events, but also were favored by travelers, who drove Triumph motorcycles around Britain, giving the best proof of Triumph's quality and reliability, so much so that the media will add a word Trusty (reliable, trustworthy) in front of Triumph when mentioning Triumph, calling it reliable Triumph.

In 1914, Britain entered World War I and deliberately chose Triumph as a supplier of motorcycles for the military. During this period, Triumph supplied more than 30,000 motorcycles to the Allies, making it the largest motorcycle manufacturer in the United Kingdom. However, the good times did not last long, after the end of World War I, the Great Depression came unexpectedly, and the sales of Triumph motorcycles began to cool. In order to save the company, Bateman, the founder of Triumph, expanded the production line to produce cars while launching new motorcycles. However, all these efforts were in vain, and the triumphant descent towards the precipice of bankruptcy made it difficult for Batemann to raise a loan due to his German roots. So in 1936, Bateman sold Triumph to Standard Motors.

Standard Motor Company appointed Edward Turner as Triumph's General Manager and Chief Development Engineer, and Edward Turner changed from the tradition of Triumph focusing only on engine performance and ignoring body design. Under the leadership of Turner, Triumph Motorcycles began to adopt unique styles such as side-by-side air-cooled twin, high handlebars, long wheelbase and double high-mounted exhaust, and successively launched the Speed Twin series and Tiger series motorcycles, which stood out among major brands and became a symbol of British motorcycles. With little technical improvement, Triumph Motorcycles was brought back to life by virtue of its exterior design and unique style, becoming one of the few motorcycle dealers to survive the Great Depression.

However, the good times did not last long, and with the outbreak of World War II, Triumph ushered in the darkest hour. In 1940, the Germans bombed Coventry, and Triumph's factory was razed to the ground, and most of the production was burned to ashes. In 1942, Triumph re-established the factory in Meriden, but missed the golden age of World War II and lost its glory. But fortunately, with the release of Marlon Brando's "Bikers", Triumph motorcycles have been rejuvenated.
