1920 Indian Scout

The Indian Scout is a motorcycle built by the Indian Motocycle Company from 1920 to 1949. It rivaled the Chief as Indian's most important model.

Designed by Charles B. Franklin, the Scout was introduced in October 1919 as a 1920 model. The Scout had a V-twin engine with its transmission bolted to the engine casing. The Scout engine initially displaced 606 cc (37 cu in). The engine size was increased to 745 cc (45 cu in) in 1927 in response to the popularity of the Excelsior Super X. In early 1928, a front brake was added to the Scout.

The Indian Scout G20 was one of the most successful motorbikes of the company. The sales volume of this model surpassed the sales of the principal competitor - Harley-Davidson. The Scout was the first company’s motorbike with a mono-block "engine/transmission". Two-cylinder V-shaped engine had a capacity of 596 сm3 and cylinders arrange at 42 degrees.
