Indian Motorcycle Honors
Scout's 100-Year Legacy
ndian Motorcycle has
announced its 2020 Scout
line-up, highlighted by two
new models that "pay
homage to the 100-year legacy
of the iconic Indian Scout - the
Scout Bobber Twenty and the
limited edition Scout 100th
Anniversary."
Also for 2020, Indian Motorcycle is
introducing a selection of new Scout
touring accessories, including a color-
matched quick release fairing with a
two-inch windshield and weather
resistant, semi-rigid, quick release
saddlebags. New Indian Motorcycle
performance accessories include a
Stage 1 Shorty slip-on muffler
kit and an all-new 2-into-1
full exhaust system, both of
which will modify the look of the bike,
while providing a significant
performance upgrade.
"The Indian Scout has stood the test
of time as one of the most influential,
iconic and recognizable motorcycles in
the world," said Reid Wilson, Vice
President for Indian Motorcycle. "100
years is an incredibly special milestone,
I
and it made perfect sense to honor the
Scout's history and legacy with these
two heritage-inspired 2020 models.
"In 1919, Indian Motorcycle
announced the world's first Scout
motorcycle with the 1920 model year
Scout. In celebration of the Scout's
100th birthday, Indian Motorcycle has
created a premium and collectible
Scout 100th Anniversary model,
limited to 750 produced globally."
The special anniversary edition takes
styling cues from the
original Scout,
highlighted by its striking paint
scheme of Indian Motorcycle Red with
Anniversary Gold trim, and color-
matched Scout 100th Anniversary
badge. The bike's finishing touches
include a Desert Tan genuine leather
solo saddle seat, black wire wheels,
beach bars, luggage rack and chrome
finishes to complete the heritage-
inspired throwback styling. As a
limited edition commemorative
model, pricing for the Scout 100th
Anniversary starts at $15,999.
"The 'Twenty' in Scout Bobber Twenty
also pays homage to the original 1920
Scout, as do several of the bike's
unique features, including wire wheels
and a floating saddle. The 2020 Scout
Bobber Twenty delivers a meaner, 'old
school' bobber style with improved
ergonomics. Scout Bobber Twenty
features an old school mix of chrome
and blacked-out finishes, 10-inch
ape hanger handlebars and comes
in three colors, with pricing
starting at $11,999 for non-ABS
and $12,899 for ABS."
In addition to the two new heritage-
inspired Scout models, the 2020 Scout
line-up also includes the return of the
Scout, Scout Sixty and Scout Bobber.
All 2020 Scouts receive key feature
upgrades, including floating rotors,
new calipers and master cylinders for
improved braking performance. All
Scout Bobbers will receive new Pirelli
MT60RS tires, while the 2020 Scout
