What Do You Want To Know About The New Indian Scout?

Since the Scout name was revived by Indian ten years ago, the company has managed to sell 100,000 examples. That might not seem like an impressive number when compared to something like a Ford F-150, but in the bike world, that’s a whole lot of units. The mid-size cruiser market is hot right now, and the Bar and Shield’s new Sportster is a damn banger, so Indian had to do something drastic with the Scout to keep the American V-twin battle alive. I really hope it’s good, and based on how much I’ve liked other IMC products, I have a feeling it will be.

The new bike is a ground-up redesign that keeps a lot of the style-forward vibe that the outgoing Scout was known for. It has a low seat height, and because of that the Scout is a pretty common choice for new riders buying their first bike.

There are five models in the 2025 Scout lineup, with the Scout Bobber returning as the style king, supplemented by the Sport Scout, Scout Classic, Super Scout, and the return of the 101 Scout. Every Scout is equipped with the new 1250-cc liquid-cooled V-twin called “SpeedPlus,” which delivers up to 111 horsepower and 82 lb-ft of torque.

“Scout is a beloved model and the most iconic and historic of our lineup, resonating with all types of riders, men and women, from all over the world,” said Ben Lindaman, Product Director for Indian Motorcycle. “Since launching the current Scout 10 years ago, the midsized cruiser segment has evolved. After conducting tons of research, rider insights drove our developments that prioritized the Scout’s iconic styling, its class-leading performance, and new rider-centric technology.”

Indian prioritized style, approachability for a variety of rider profiles, and modern technology in that order. The new Scout is available in Standard, Limited, and Limited +Tech trims. Standard trim gets an old-school analog gauge, while Limited adds traction control, cruise control, a USB charger, and ride modes. The +Tech models get keyless ignition and a 4-inch round touchscreen display with GPS. The 101 Scout and Super Scout come with the +Tech package as standard, while the other three models can be ordered with any of the three packages.

As you’d expect with any cruiser, Indian will sell you hundreds of available accessories and accessory packages. Customization is important for the Scout buyer, and you can pick everything from performance mods to long-haul saddle bags and windscreens.

The Scout Classic is the least expensive model in the lineup, starting at $13,999. The 101 Scout tops the range at $16,999. It’ll be interesting to see how the sporty 101 Scout compares to the Harley Sportster S, which I absolutely loved.

Okay, so let’s hear it. I’ll be riding for two days in Northern California next week. Tell me in the comments what you want to know about it, and I’ll do my best to answer your questions when the embargo is up.
