The Nimble Indian

We ride the smallest of the Indian motorcycle lineup, the scout sixty.

When we think of Indian Motorcycles, we think of something humungous, stately and a palace on two wheels. A typical American motorcycle! But the Indian Scout Sixty does not fit that bill; it is compact, unassuming and extremely nimble. Once on the move, you will forget that you are on a 1000cc thumper.

The Sixty is the entry-level motorcycle of the Indian line-up that is to say it is the smallest and the cheapest available. It gives Indian Motorcycle a foot in the door for a prospective buyer who wants to buy into the Indian heritage without having to break the bank. The Sixty is named as such because of its engine capacity in cubic inches, a blue-blooded American even in name!

First up, as for any cruiser are its looks. A cruiser really needs to look the part to play the part. The Sixty doesn’t disappoint in this regard. It looks much like its bigger sibling the Scout, and with the price difference between the two, it makes the Sixty a very tempting proposition for the prospective buyer. With the bike similar to the Scout, the list of differences between the two is smaller than the list of similarities!
