1920 Indian Scout

This 1920 Indian Scout being offered, represents the initial year of production for the little Scout. It would grow in subsequent years to become one of the most famous motorcycles to roll from the Springfield factory. An older restoration, the motorcycle almost gives the appearance of an unrestored machine, largely due to the fact that the restoration was based upon a decent original motorcycle so all the nickel plating on this machine is original as it was delivered from the factory. Only the Indian Red finish was given new to the little bike. Even the saddle is original.

This Scout weighs a mere 340 lbs. wet which makes it attractive to new riders to the antique world, just as it did when new. The saddle height is a low 28 inches and the bike rolls on 20 inch wheels. A 3 speed sliding gear transmission provides the drive from the primary, shifting through a hand lever on the right side of the bike. The throttle is typical Indian and on the left grip of course. This little Scout could easily become one of your favorite motorcycles to enjoy.
