Indian Celebrate’s Scout’s 100th Anniversary With Special Editions
100 years old and not a wrinkle. The year 2020 will set a number of milestones in the motorcycle industry. Aside from the flock of new models we’re expecting to kickstart the new decade, 2020. At Indian’s, there’s, of course, the Challenger expected to make its debut in the upcoming months. There is also a very special anniversary that’s about to be celebrated: the Scout will turn 100 and the company has every intention of celebrating. In fact, Indian is preparing one, maybe even two, special-edition Scouts for the model’s jubilee. The document lists an Indian Scout 100th Anniversary. The special model will sport the original, classic Scout look with the deep red livery and yellow pinstripes. Some sources also suggest that the Scout Bobber Twenty (for 1920) is also meant as a celebratory edition of the model’s history. The differences between your run-of-themill Scout and the two special editions will likely be mainly aesthetic. The Indian Scout was introduced as a 1920 model-year and became one of the most important models in the manufacturer’s history. At the time, the Scout was introduced with a 606ccV-twin. It evolved a decade later into what is referred to as Indian’s best motorcycle, the 101 Scout. Since the original Scout was launched in October 1919 as a 1920 model, maybe Indian is planning for a little something special for this upcoming October.

Low Rider S Rolls Out A Softail® Chassis, Milwaukee-Eight® 114 Engine Muscle, and Defiant Attitude. High bars and horsepower define the new Harley-Davidson® Low Rider® S model, a cruiser that takes a performance-first approach to customizing. The Low Rider S model is built around a Harley-Davidson Softail® chassis enhanced by premium suspension components tuned for aggressive riding stoked by the unrelenting power of a muscular Milwaukee-Eight® 114 engine, with styl-
ing cues inspired by the coastal build scene and Harley heritage. “The look of the new Low Rider S is really rooted in the legacy of the Low Rider models of the 1980s, that has a devoted following which has spread worldwide from origins in Southern California, and in the recent Dyna-based Low Rider S model,” said Brad Richards, HarleyDavidson Vice President of Styling & Design. “We’ve applied that coastal style and performance-first attitude to the
Softail chassis to create a Low Rider S that’s more powerful and agile than ever, with a heavy dose of tough-as-nails attitude.” Hard-Edge Coastal Style Raised hand controls are a defining element of the coastal custom influence. The Low Rider S model mounts a oneinch diameter motocross-style handlebar on four-inch high straight risers to put the rider in an aggressive and active position. continued on PG. 03
