Friday bike

Not really my type of bike, but I really liked the look of it.
Indian Scout

Watercooled 1130cc V-twin with 6 speed gearbox, and priced in the UK at a reasonable £10,339.
More details on the British importer's website.
Needless to say, there are plenty of 'bolt on goodies' available for it.
An interesting addition to the 'big cruiser' market, and MUCH cooler than a Harley-Davidson!

  2. I like it better than the heavy "Chief"....maybe a re-style of the front fender...?

  3. Raise the 'bars a bit, bigger headlight (that one looks patheric) and I agree with HL, the front fender needs work. Given the choice between that and a HD Sportster this wins hands down as something a bit different. Only problem is longevity. How many times does a relaunched firm go belly up within a year or so? Indian and Norton both spring to mind as continually failing which leaves their customers with a major headache.
