18 | WheelsOfGrace.com | Issue 49 Indian's announced its 2020 Scout lineup, with two new models joining Indian's midsize category this year, for a total of five models. The newbie duo—the limited-edi on 2020 Scout 100th Anniversary and the 2020 Scout Bobber Twenty machines—are a clear nod to the 100th birthday of the iconic side-valve V-twin Indian Scout, which was first produced in 1919 as a 1920 model. The base Scout models from 2019 are returning as well, with the Scout Sixty, the Scout, and the Scout Bobber all taking their slots for 2020. First up is the birthday boy, a premium Scout 100th Anniversary model that makes no bones about its homage to the original Scout. Although the bea ng heart is s ll a standard Scout, 1,133cc V-twin engine and all, the bodywork gets tricked out in splashes of Indian Motorcycle Red with Anniversary Gold trim, with a color-matched Scout 100th Anniversary badge taking its spot right in between the splayed cylinders. The tribute bike wears wire-spoke wheels (chrome spokes, black rims) instead of the standard Scout's cast hoops, and it's topped with a floa ng leather solo saddle—a sharp-looking improvement over the standard's couch cushion. Wide beach bars and a luggage rack out back complete the throwback styling. And it's not all just good looks; all 2020 Scout models also get key improvements in the brake department, with new floa ng rotors, calipers, and master cylinders ge ng added to the feature list for improved stopping power. Apparently a one-bike tribute just won't do, so Indian's doubled down on the big century celebra on with the Scout Bobber Twenty and that is them one, we will be focusing on. Indian says the Bobber Twenty also pays homage to the original 1920 Scout, but it does so in name only; you'll Indian's 2020 Scout Lineup Adds Two New Models L E G E N D Photo Courtesy of North County Indian Motorcycle
