Rennie Scaysbrook | November 19, 2015
Indian Motorcycles are continuing their aggressive push further into the cruiser market with the introduction of the Indian Scout Sixty, a smaller capacity version of the Scout that was released earlier this year.
The Sixty uses the same chassis, suspension and brake package as the larger Scout, but comes with a smaller 60 cubic inch engine compared to big bro’s 69 cubes. As such the Sixty punches out 65lb-ft of torque and 78hp, pushing a dry weight of 542lb. It also sports a handy price reduction, retailing for $8999 compared to the Scout’s $10,999.
The Scout Sixty has already seen the welder of renowned bike customizer Roland Sands, who has worked over five models for the Super Hooligan class at the recently held Superprestigio in Las Vegas. Indian has seen the larger capacity Scout become very popular with bike builders across the USA and Europe, and is keen to push the Sixty further in the customizing stakes.
“We expect the Scout Sixty to accelerate the already unprecedented success we have had with the new Scout platform,” said Indian Motorcycle Marketing Director Scott Meek. “The custom community has really embraced the Scout and we have experienced intense enthusiasm from DIY customizers, dealers, pro-builders and the aftermarket.”
