In America, Sport, Vintage by AbhiLeave a Comment

The Indian Scout was introduced in 1920 – eight years later the 101 Scout was released and some motorcycles consider it to be the most iconic Indian motorcycle ever built thanks to a bevy of racing-inspired upgrades. Said upgrades included a stronger frame, improved suspension, a longer wheelbase, and a front brake. However as the Great Depression took hold, Indian had to cut costs and after 4 years they had tamed the 101 by forcing the Scout to share frames with the bigger and heavier Chief.
