Raw & Aggressive – the Indian Scout Bobber Features a Slammed Stance, Chopped Fenders, & Blacked-Out Styling

Strip it down. That was the inspiration Indian Motorcycle used when developing the latest model in its iconic Scout lineup, the new Indian Scout Bobber. A low slung, blacked-out, minimalist motorcycle that proves less is definitely more.

The new muscular Scout represents a core passion of motorcyclists - connecting to the road without a need for anything unnecessary. It’s a tangible means of escape from a life that is so easily bogged down by commitments and a boatload of unnecessary “stuff.”

“The Scout Bobber is our most raw and mean machine to date, and the ultimate in the celebration of what motorcycling is about – a powerful engine, two wheels, and no plans of where to go,” said Peter Harvey, Country Manager – Indian Motorcycle. “It’s an incredibly fun motorcycle that delivers a ton of attitude, along with a ton of power.”...

Indian Motorcycle® continues to polish the most talked about lineup of full-size and mid-size cruisers, baggers and tourers on the market. For 2016 Indian Motorcycle has delivered again on premium finishes, new colour schemes and a host of accompanying new accessories to customise your Indian Motorcycle to your riding style and needs.

Scout

The 2016 Indian Scout carries over the great engine, cast aluminum frame and standard ABS brakes with the addition of a new colour, Wildfire Red to the range. More details on options and accessories to be announced closer to launch in Australia during the 4th quarter this year.

Full Size Lineup

The Chief Dark Horse, Classic, Vintage, Chieftain and Roadmaster all continue for 2016 with full details on colour range, options and accessories to be announced closer to launch in Australia during the 4th quarter this year.

This custom Indian Scout was built by Jeb Scolman- the same hot rod artisan responsible for the Spirit of Munro that was built to celebrate the launch of the Thunderstroke 111 in 2014.

Jeb was delivered an engine, and the simple instruction to build what he wanted to out of a new 2015 Indian Scout engine. Jeb’s flawless 100% custom metalwork picks up on the designs of pure speed motorcycles from the late 50s and early 60s with a fork mounted bullet fairing and the most minimal frame possible. Bikes with this silhouette took to land speed and drag racing tracks across the country.


The post-war hot rod crowd was using airplane drop tanks for race cars, and the motorcycle racers started to adapt nose cones to help them cut through the wind. As the bike took shape we started calling it the “Black Bullet”. The minimal body and stout but...

Indian Motorcycle is thrilled to launch the first in a series of locally inspired Scout Limited Edition models.

Taking a standard Scout, Indian Motorcycle has given this bike some old-school highlights from the genuine accessory range to create this unique limited edition model.

The Scout LE features chrome wire wheels, a 1920s solo tan leather seat and a custom hand-painted two-tone tank with painted Indian warbonnet.

Only 10 of this Scout LE have been produced.

Indian Motorcycle revealed the "Black Hills Beast," built by Doug Siddens and Nick Jaquez of IndianMotorcycles.net in Sturgis to a strong reception. The Black Hills Beast, based on a new 2015 Indian Scout, was customized to emulate the purpose built nature of historic hill climb motorcycles.

Transforming the look of the Scout started relatively easily with the addition of several new Indian Motorcycle accessories including the 1920 Solo Saddle Seat and a set of the accessory laced wheels. Custom details that set the bike apart include an elongated custom swingarm, custom handlebar, custom radiator shroud and front number plate with an LED headlight. The 100+ horsepower of muscle in the Scout powerplant chewed up the earth via a custom tire chain designed for maximum grip when charging up a hill.

"Building a hill climber seemed easy enough, but it posed some unique challenges," Says Doug Siddens of IndianMotorcycles.net. "Enthusiasts know what a hill...
