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.

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. **
