Preserving Heritage, Unleashing Performance
At first glance, the new Scout might appear familiar. Indian has masterfully retained the bike's classic silhouette, instantly recognizable by its flowing lines and comfortable riding position. However, beneath that familiar form lies a revolution. The biggest change comes in the form of a brand-new engine. The 2025 Scout lineup ditches the previous engine for a muscular 1,250cc liquid-cooled V-Twin powerhouse dubbed the SpeedPlus 1250. This new heart pumps out an impressive 111 horsepower and 82 lb-ft of torque, offering a significant bump in performance compared to the outgoing model.

Indian isn't offering just one Scout for 2025. Instead, riders can choose from five distinct models, each catering to a different riding style and budget:
101 Scout:
The pinnacle of performance in the Scout lineup, the 101 Scout boasts top-shelf features like inverted adjustable forks for superior control during aggressive riding, high-performance Brembo brakes for strong stopping power, and aggressive graphics that underline its sporty character. This is the Scout for riders who crave exhilarating performance and a head-turning presence. Starting MSRP for the 101 Scout is $16,999 (USD).
Scout Bobber:
Embraces the stripped-down bobber aesthetic with a blacked-out front end, chopped fenders that showcase the chunky tires, and a solo seat for a minimalist look. A headlight nacelle adds a distinctive touch. Perfect for those who love the raw, minimalist bobber look and a comfortable riding position thanks to its mid-rise handlebars. The Scout Bobber starts at a competitive price of $12,999 (USD).
Sport Scout:
Strikes a balance between comfort and sporty handling. It features a larger 19-inch front wheel for improved stability at higher speeds, machined triples that enhance the bike's overall look, moto handlebars that provide a more upright riding position for better control, and six-inch moto-style risers that elevate the handlebars for a more aggressive riding posture. This combination translates to a more confident and engaging riding experience on twisty roads. The Sport Scout is available for a starting MSRP of $13,499 (USD).
Super Scout:
A touring-oriented version equipped with spacious saddlebags for carrying all your essentials on long journeys, wire wheels that offer a classic look and added durability, a windshield that provides protection from wind and road debris, and a passenger seat with comfortable grab rails for your riding companion. This makes the Super Scout ideal for conquering long stretches of highway in comfort and style. The Super Scout starts at $16,499 (USD).
Scout Classic:
A modern take on the classic Scout design. Chrome finishes throughout the bike add a touch of elegance, and flowing fenders reminiscent of the original Scout design combine timeless aesthetics with contemporary performance and technology. Standard features include a comfortable bench seat for rider and passenger, a classic instrument cluster with an analog speedometer and fuel gauge, and a powerful headlight for excellent nighttime visibility. The Scout Classic offers a starting MSRP of $13,999 (USD).
Confidence-Inspiring Handling
Indian understands that a motorcycle's performance is only half the story. The 2025 Scout lineup boasts a new chassis designed for confidence-inspiring handling. The engineers have achieved the industry's lowest seat height of 26.5 inches, making the Scout accessible to a wider range of riders, regardless of height. This low seat height, combined with a well-balanced chassis, allows for easy maneuvering at low speeds and a comfortable riding posture on longer journeys.
Technology for the Modern Rider
While the classic Scout was primarily focused on pure riding experience, the 2025 lineup acknowledges the importance of modern technology. Riders can choose from various trim levels that offer features like ABS (standard on all models), traction control (available on select models), cruise control (available on select models), and a 4-inch touchscreen display with GPS and Indian's RIDE COMMAND infotainment system. This allows riders to stay connected, informed, and entertained on the go.
A Legacy Continues
The 2025 Indian Scout lineup represents a successful marriage of heritage and progress. Indian has meticulously preserved the Scout's iconic design while injecting it with a powerful new engine, sharper handling, and rider-centric technologies. With five distinct models to choose from, there's a Scout for every rider who craves a motorcycle that blends timeless style with modern muscle.
