Indian Motorcycle®, America's first motorcycle company, today introduced the latest addition to its 2016 lineup - the all-new Indian Scout® Sixty - from the floor of the EICMA International Motorcycle Show in Milan, Italy. The new 999cc Scout Sixty breaks through boundaries, promising to broadly appeal to new rider segments with a premium motorcycle brand.

The new Indian Scout Sixty offers many of the same features and components of the award-winning Indian® Scout®, which was introduced in 2014 at the Black Hills Rally on the fabled "Wall of Death." True to the craftsmanship, reliability and legendary agility of the Indian Scout, the new Scout Sixty shares the identical chassis, suspension, brakes and core engine - all mated with a new 60 cubic inch engine. With a dry weight of 246kgs and a potent 88Nm of linear torque, the Scout Sixty is paired with a silky smooth, easy-to-shift 5-speed transmission, and starts at $17,995 ride away. Offered in three classic, bold Indian Motorcycle colors, the Scout Sixty features a black seat, matching black frame and wheels, and is compatible with the over 200 accessories already available for the Scout.

"The Indian Scout has been a stunningly successful introduction for us, with balance, performance and maneuverability that appeals to riders here in America and around the globe," said Steve Menneto, President of Motorcycles for Polaris Industries. "The new Scout Sixty expands that reach even further to include newer riders who desire the legendary quality and craftsmanship of an Indian motorcycle."

The Scout Sixty is available in Thunder Black, Indian Motorcycle Red and Pearl White color options. A seat height of just 643mm allows for sure-footed comfort at stops, and the low center of gravity ensures agile cornering, precise balance and overall rider confidence and control. A series of accessories including seats, handlebars and footpeg relocators allow the motorcycle to be tailored to fit each rider, while additional accessories such as saddlebags, wire wheels and quick-release windscreens give owners virtually unlimited freedom to customize their rides.

The new Scout Sixty is not shy on performance, with Roland Sands Designs getting the nod as the first to customize the new model. Sands customized five new motorcycles to race prep them for battle in the street bike-based class for the "Super Hooligan" class at the Superprestigio of the Americas, slated for November 21 at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas. The new Scout Sixty is already en route to dealerships around the world, and is sure to be a popular platform for customising and personalising.

"We expect the Scout Sixty to accelerate the already unprecedented success we have had with the new Scout platform," said Peter Harvey - Australian Country Manager, Motorcycles.
