Indian gave us a
chance to sample
its latest cruisers,
bobbers and
choppers.

ou'd think that between a soft motorcycle market and a
brand-new liquid-cooled Tourer (the Challenger), Indian would
be taking a rest on their legacy models, and you'd be wrong.
Two new Scouts (complete with a raft of significant accessories) and
big updates for their Thunderstroke air-cooled models.
Scout is a versatile platform making for motorcycles that look and feel
very different from each other. At one extreme, Indian's FTR takes its
basic motor and turns it into a dirt-track replica hooligan machine, but
that's not what we sampled. These are the cruisers, the bobbers and
the choppers. We checked out a fleet of customized Scouts along with
the new Bobber 20 and 100th Anniversary on a day's ride.
WE SAMPLE SOME OF THE LATEST CRUISERS, BOBBERS
AND CHOPPERS FROM INDIAN MOTORCYCLE, INCLUDING
