Scout Sixty | MCN HOT PICK | £8999

-

The Scout Sixty is heavily based on the existing 1133cc Indian Scout model but has a new 999cc engine and is aimed at a younger, more urban customer who wants something a bit less flashy looking. With that in mind, much of the chrome has been replaced by moody matt black paint. The name Scout Sixty comes from the 60 cubic inch capacity of the engine (that's 999cc in metric). The most obvious changes are the visible ones, such as the blacked-out engine parts, modified headlight, clock surround, crackle-finish black frame and black wheels. The overall impression works well and the quality of the paint, the fit and finish and the style all look much more expensive than the £8999 price might suggest. The capacity change comes from narrowing the bore to give the 999cc capacity, and a correspond­ing drop in power to 78bhp and peak torque of 65.6ftlb. Another substantia­l change is the fitment of a five-speed gearbox in place of the six-cog box on the 1133cc Scout. The fifth gear of the Scout Sixty is the same ratio as that of the sixth in the Scout. Indian engineers basically removed fifth gear and left the rest in place so it doesn't feel like there is a large gap between fourth and fifth. The 642mm seat height will attract the short of leg, too, while there's a catalogue of accessorie­s big enough to crack the tarmac, allowing endless personalis­ation.
