The Legend is Back. Like its iconic forerunner, the all-new Indian® Scout ™ is an innovative and aesthetically stunning American cruiser. It introduces the first-ever liquid-cooled Indian Motorcycle engine – an efficient and reliable 69 cubic inch V-twin – for impressive power on demand. This new model carries the legendary Indian® Scout™ name into the future in authentic Indian® Motorcycle® style.

Indian Motorcycle proudly introduces the new Indian Scout. The 2015 Indian Scout is a contemporary interpretation of one of motorcycling’s most famous and coveted bikes.

The Indian Scout delivers on the legendary brands names promise of balance, quality and style, and featuring a starting US MSRP of $10,999 is more accessible than ever.

This is the first truly new Indian Scout in more than 70 years and marks the return of the legendary bikes that conquered the infamous “Wall of Death” and carried the legendary “Indian Wrecking Crew” motorcycle race team to multiple victories.

Three decades of innovations, racing wins, world records and industry firsts, built the legend of the Scout and drew thousands of riders in. Indian Motorcycle designers and engineers have taken that tradition and the characteristics of the models heritage and accelerated them through modern design and technology into the new 2015 Indian Scout.
