Indian Motorcycles have seen success with the Indian Scout and the manufacturer made tweaks to the 2016 version to attract even more customers. As Indian gets its big chunk of the global market share for motorcycles, the Scout has even greater balance, precision handling and performance that cannot be matched.

The scout has a lower seat height at 23.5 inches and a compact design that helps increase stability, which makes the motorcycle ideal for riders of any size. With 100 hp generated from a liquid-cooled 1130 cc V-Twin engine. The bike's gloss black paint job is certainly striking, but there are also color variations such as Thunder Black Smoke, Silver Smoke and the new Wildfire Red.
