For Indian to come in at that $10k price mark for entry into the cruiser line up. I think that’s pretty good, considering a Honda Rebel 1100 is about $500 cheaper. ($9500 no DCT). I hope Indian brings in a lot of new riders. Quick question did they mention about changing the frame on the 60 similar to what they did to the new bigger Scouts? If so that may open up a lot more customization for the bikes in the future 🙂🏍️👍
I think Indian went the easy route by re-launching the Scout 60. I think they would have been better going down to a 750cc classic looking model which would be in line with the current trend. Also the best selling style of motorcycle is an Adventure bike so I thought they may develop an FTR. Polaris needs to invest in it infrastructure and allow service garages to undertake warranty and service work not just dealerships. At the moment you have an average travel time of 2 - 3 hours to get to a dealership and at the minute in the UK we have dealerships closing so have a very limited choice as a customer to get the bikes serviced. Polaris have stated that they will not support independent garages.
A 750cc model would be interesting, the market seems to favor more affordable motorcycles right now. The triumph scrambler 400 is proof of that, it’s been a huge seller for triumph this year
I’ve owned Harley’s and Indians. I also work at an Indian dealership, and I can tell you the cost of Indian parts is obscene, more so than Harley. For that reason alone I personally would not buy another one. If you feel I’m biased, I do like Harley, and I also like Indian bikes, but I but currently own and ride a Triumph.
Badass! Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Great video
Thanks! 🙏
“Indian understands the economic context that surrounds us now”. Very well said
Thanks!

I agree, it’s at a really good price point. It’ll have the same frame as the other scouts which is exciting.
if we had an Indian dealer closer to us... I'd probably be riding one now. Good on 'em for bringing a cheaper entry that still has the goods.
Which Indian you think that would be?
@IronBornRider the big one... Challenger? Dark Horse? Something like that... touring bike.
I hope this bike really sells well and succeeds. Indian is doing everything that harley should be doing. Well done Indian.
My thoughts exactly 👍

When will the Scout 60's be available in dealerships?
From an article I read in motorcycle.com it should be later this month in November.
I’ve owned Harley’s and Indians. I also work at an Indian dealership, and I can tell you the cost of Indian parts is obscene, more so than Harley. For that reason alone I personally would not buy another one. If you feel I’m biased, I do like Harley, and I also like Indian bikes, but I but currently own and ride a Triumph.
That’s one of the reasons I’m hesitating on the upgrades. It’ll easily cost $2k to do a stage one for the scout bobber
I wish I didn't have to go over 100 miles to get a dealer... I'd probably own some Indians.
Same. I had to go close to 150 miles to find a dealer that had what I wanted
