Indian Scout

The Indian Scout is an American motorcycle introduced in 1920 by the Indian Motocycle Company of Springfield, Massachusetts, powered by a V twin engine and known for its strength and reliability compared to the larger Indian Chief. Scouts were widely used in board track and dirt track racing and became a standard mount for wall of death stunt riders at carnivals and fairs. A modified 1920 Indian Scout, rebuilt over decades by New Zealander Burt Munro, set a national land speed record for its engine class at the Bonneville Salt Flats in 1967, a story later told in the film The World's Fastest Indian.
