Overview

Introducing the 2017 Indian Scout, a stunning blend of heritage and modern engineering that stands tall in the custom-cruiser category. With a starting price of US$ 11,299, this motorcycle is designed for riders who seek a powerful, agile machine that pays homage to Indian Motorcycle's iconic legacy while delivering contemporary performance. The Scout strikes a perfect balance between classic cruiser aesthetics and cutting-edge technology, ensuring it captures the hearts of both seasoned riders and newcomers alike. At the heart of the Scout lies a robust 1130.78 ccm V2, four-stroke engine that churns out an exhilarating 100 horsepower and an impressive torque of 97.70 Nm at 5900 RPM. This powerplant not only delivers exhilarating acceleration but also provides the smooth, effortless riding experience that cruiser enthusiasts crave. Coupled with a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive, the Scout ensures a seamless and responsive ride, whether you're navigating city streets or cruising along open highways. The liquid cooling system keeps the engine at optimal temperatures, allowing riders to enjoy longer journeys without the worry of overheating. The 2017 Indian Scout is replete with features designed to enhance both comfort and safety. The motorcycle’s sleek design is complemented by a telescopic front fork and dual shock rear suspension, providing a comfortable ride over various terrains. The optional ABS on both the front and rear brakes enhances stopping power, giving riders added confidence in their braking performance. With a low seat height of just 25.3 inches, the Scout is accessible for riders of different statures, while its wide array of color options—from classic black to vibrant blue/silver—allows for a personalized touch. The electric starter and a generous fuel capacity of 12.49 liters further enhance its practicality for everyday use. **

Pros

  • Powerful Performance: With 100 HP and strong torque delivery, the Scout provides an exhilarating riding experience.
  • Accessible Design: The low seat height and comfortable ergonomics make it suitable for a wide range of riders.
  • Stylish Customization: Multiple color options and classic styling allow riders to express their individuality.

Cons

  • Weight Consideration: At 544.5 pounds, the Scout may feel heavy for some riders, particularly during slow maneuvers.
  • Limited Storage: The minimalist design leaves little room for built-in storage solutions, requiring additional accessories for long trips.
  • Price Point: While competitively priced for its class, it may be a consideration for entry-level riders seeking a budget-friendly option.
