Indian Scout. Conneaut Lake Park, PA
1940's era Indian Sport Scout.
Indian introduced the Scout in 1920 and the run continued until WWII. After the success of the legendary 101 Scout, Indian did not have much luck with the Standard Scout or Motoplane. They attempted to remedy the common complaints with the Sport Scout in 1934 and the bike had some success in racing – it won the first Daytona 200, held in 1937.
The Sport Scout was powered by a 750cc flathead V-twin engine and differed from the 101 Scout with a lighter two piece frame, girder forks, upgraded Schebler carb, and alloy heads. Six years after its initial release, it gained the classic full skirt fenders.
