In 2014, Jeb Scolman, a hot-rod and motorcycle designer and artist,
created the Spirit of Munro, which was crafted to honor the release
of the
Thunder Stroke 111 engine. However, in 2015, Scolman has
delivered another custom beast with the 2015 Indian Scout engine.
The motorcycle is a simple engine and framework build with hand
built metalworking that makes this unique ride stand out.
Additionally, the Scout has a resemblance to the 1950s and 1960s
speed motorcycles with a fork mounted bullet fairing design.
This bike has some of the most simplistic and minimal framework of
any motorcycle ever built. However, riders shouldn't take that for
granted as it still has the heart of a pure speed motorcycle. "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," the Indian press release stated. "As the
bike took shape we started calling it the 'Black Bullet.'"
Small But Fast Design From Hot-Rod Artist

The small motorcycle still packs a 1200cc engine through
simple framework that leaves nothing to hide in its design. The
minimal body makes this Black Bullet Scout unique in every way, and
especially so with the massive engine packed into the small frame
by creating a custom intake manifold and turning the throttle
sideways.
The press release continues by saying the sleek design of the
Bullet is all hand-made and shaped for one single reason - finding
the fastest speed possible. The minimal seat, controls and shape
make it a true "Bullet" of a ride as there's nothing extra on this
bike.
"The all-custom, all-metal, and all hand-made bike features a
custom windscreen that wraps around the front of the bike to fair
in the headlight," Indian stated. "Tight clip-ons and footrests
mounted to the rear axle makes for as streamlined a rider's
position as possible."
Scolman has been notorious for his metalwork and there's no doubt
the design of the Black Bullet Scout is completely full of
creativity and innovation in its design within the motorcycle
manufacturing world. The pure-speed design will have vintage and
modern motorcycle enthusiasts eager to see this design.
The public can get an up close look at the bike from July 31 to
Aug. 8, since the Indian Black Bullet Scout will be showcased at
the Lazelle Street display in [mageProductLink sku="pk-15-sturgis"
