WheelsOfGrace.com | Volume 11 Issue 3 | 19 see no badging or special paint as with the 100th Anniversary model, just a couple of unique features like a taller handlebar, wire-spoke wheels, and a floa ng saddle to dis nguish it from the standard model. It s ll brings a mix of chrome and blacked-out finishes for that urban brawler a tude which gets amped up even more with the addi on of those 10-inch apehanger bars—which will relax the ergonomics nicely. Yes, you get the rotor/caliper/cylinder brake upgrades on this model as well, and there is a non-ABS version available. There are three color op ons for the Scout Bobber Twenty: Thunder Black (ABS or non-ABS), Sagebrush Smoke (ABS), and Burnished Metallic (ABS). The price starts at $11,999 for non-ABS and $12,899 for bikes with ABS. For Indian, obviously, the decision to add the tribute models was a no-brainer; "The Indian Scout has stood the test of me as one of the most influen al, iconic, and recognizable motorcycles in the world," said Reid Wilson, Vice President for Indian Motorcycle. "One hundred years is an incredibly special milestone, and it made perfect sense to honor Scout's history and legacy with these two heritage-inspired 2020 models." Joining the two newer bikes are the standard Scout, Scout Sixty, and Scout Bobber, all back for 2020 and receiving the same brake improvements as seen on the other Scouts. The Indian Scout Bobber model also sports new Pirelli MT 60 RS rubber for 2020, and can be had in Thunder Black, Thunder Black Smoke, Deepwater Metallic, Bronze Smoke, and White Smoke (though the non-ABS model will come only in black). Even with all those improvements, the Scout somehow manages to keep the star ng price at the same $10,999 as last year (that's for the non-ABS model in black). The 100-hp midsize marvel that kickstarted the modern Scout lineup is in the 2020 group as well, with the standard Scout offering new color op ons for the ABS models. But it gets some minor ergonomic tweaks too, including a low-profile Sport Seat and passenger pegs (we s ll don't get why the pegs aren't a standard item). You can get the Scout in Thunder Black, White Smoke, Deepwater Metallic, Metallic Jade over Thunder Black, and Indian Motorcycle Red over Ivory Cream with Gold Pinstripe, with prices star ng at $11,499. As with the Scout Bobber, the non-ABS bikes are the lowest priced and come in black only. Last but not least is the Indian Scout Sixty, which returns this year with no price increase over 2019—even with the same brake improvements as the other Scout models. The crowd-pleasing MSRP starts at $8,999, which means at that level you'll be ge ng a non-ABS bike in Thunder Black only—which s ll ain't too shabby. The other color op ons are Burgundy Metallic and Pearl White over Titanium Metallic. No, it hasn't forgo en the accessories; Indian's also rolled out a nice selec on of touring pieces for your Scout should you want to do some riding of the long-distance variety on this machine. Thumbs-up to these much-needed add-ons which include a color-matched Quick Release Fairing with a 2-inch Windshield (with taller op ons available) and weather-resistant semi-rigid quick release saddlebags. You can also choose from new performance accessories like the slick-looking Stage 1 Shorty Slip-on Muffler Kit, or the all-new 2-into-1 Full Exhaust System, either of which will sweeten the style as well as boos ng power.
