In North America, Polaris reported an increase in Indian Motorcycle sales of 60 per cent in Q1 of 2021. And the good news is also that, the mid-to-heavyweight motorcycle segment where Indian Motorcycle has its bikes in, posted growth of only in the mid-30 per cent levels, compared to Indian Motorcycles' over 60 per cent growth in the home market and Canada. While the first quarter numbers are positive, there are some concerns going forward to keep the momentum going. Dealer inventory levels are below optimum levels, and the company estimates a 40 per cent reduction in inventory levels, compared to the first quarter of 2020, as supply chain constraints and logistical issues limit manufacturing.
