THE LEGENDARY INDIAN SCOUT
In 1920, the company released the first Indian Scout. This fast, reliable, maneuverable bike enticed many people to start riding, and racing. The Scout quickly became the motorcycle of choice for daredevils and racers alike, arguably putting it on the Mount Rushmore of legendary motorcycles.
THE INDIAN 101 SCOUT
In 1928, the Indian 101 Scout was introduced featuring a new frame with more fork rake, a longer wheelbase, lower seat height and more powerful 45ci engine. The 101 Scout has been heralded as the best motorcycle ever made by many riders and enthusiasts worldwide.
WALL OF DEATH
Born in the early 1900's at the Coney Island amusement park in New York, the Wall of Death is a death defying vertical walled dome where dare devils would ride motorcycles and cars around to entertain crowds. The motorcycle of choice was the Indian Scout, thanks to its light weight and reliability.
ED "IRON MAN" KRETZ
Ed "Iron Man" Kretz was widely recognized as the greatest motorcycle racer of his day, and one of the first major stars of the AMA Class C racing series. He had victories in nearly all of the major national events in the late 30's and 40's. What really cemented Kretz in motorcycling history was his win of the inaugural Daytona 200 race in 1937 on an Indian Sport Scout.
THE INDIAN WRECKING CREW
The years following Ed Kretz saw the founding of the Indian Motorcycle Wrecking Crew in the late 1940’s, a record-breaking racing team consisting of legendary racers Bobby Hill, Bill Tuman, and Ernie Beckman. By the early 1950’s, the Crew was dominating on both dirt and road courses; Bobby Hill won the Springfield Mile back-to-back years in 1951 and 1952, and teammate Bill Tuman completed the three-peat for Indian Motorcycle in 1953.
BURT MUNRO
In 1967, 68-year-old New Zealand native Burt Munro made motorcycle history by setting a new official land speed record - 184.087 mph with an unofficial top speed of 205.67 mph—when he raced his heavily modified 1920 Indian Scout Streamliner across the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. That record still stands today.

For the 2015 model year, Indian Motorcycle introduced the first all-new Indian Scout in over 70 years, featuring a 1,133cc liquid-cooled V-Twin engine and an aluminum frame. This new Scout etched another chapter in the model’s legendary history.
