#INDIAN 2001 SCOUT SERIES#

In 1948, Indian built 50 units of the 648 Sport Scout. Engineering work being done on a Model 647 Scout was abandoned in favor of developing a completely new line of lightweight single-cylinder and vertical-twin motorcycles. When Indian restarted civilian production in 1946 they produced the Chief only the Junior Scout, Sport Scout, and Four were discontinued. The Pony Scout and the Junior Scout were collectively known as the 'Thirty-Fifty' after their engine displacement in cubic inches. The less powerful Pony Scout remained in production and was later renamed the Junior Scout. The power of the Scout engine was too much for the Prince-derived frame and the Motoplane was discontinued. The Motoplane was also sold as the Pony Scout with the engine displacement reduced to 30.50В cuВ in (499.8В cc). This had a Scout engine fitted into the frame of the discontinued Indian Prince single cylinder motorcycle. In 1933, to appease the sporting motorcyclists offended by the replacement of the 101 with the Standard Scout, Indian introduced the Motoplane. The Standard Scout remained in production until 1937. The 1932 Standard Scout that was based on this new frame was heavier and bulkier than the 101 frame, and was less successful as a result. Several 1928-29 Indian 101 Scouts used for a wall of death performance in 2017Д¬ost cutting led to Indian designing a new basic frame for 1932 that would form the basis for the Scout, Chief, and Four frames. The 101 is still used in wall of death stunt exhibitions. Fans of Indian's technical achievements acclaim the 101 Scout as the pinnacle of Indian technology, while fans of classic Indian styling hail its replacement for bringing classic Chief styling to the Scout line. Д®nthusiasts have differing views on the replacement of the 101 Scout. The 101 Scout has been called the best motorcycle Indian ever made. Thus the 101 Scout was discontinued, as its unique chassis was as expensive to produce as the 74В cuВ in (1,210В cc) Chief, and therefore had a small profit margin. In 1931, it was decided to rationalize production by designing a new frame that, with some detail variations, would be used across their entire, new-for-1932 model range of Scout, Chief and Four. The economic hardship of the Great Depression pushed Indian to the brink of bankruptcy, and the company was purchased by the DuPont family. The 101 Scout was noted for its handling and was popular with racers, hillclimbers, and trick riders. The standard Scout 101 was available with a 45В cuВ in (740В cc) engine, but it was also available with a 37В cuВ in (610В cc) engine from the original Scout, although this was rarely advertised. The geometry of the 101 Scout wheelbase, steering head angle and rear sub-frame were all adopted from the new Indian 401 model which was under development at the same time. Franklin, who had designed the original Scout, the 101 Scout had a new frame with more fork rake, a longer wheelbase, and a lower seat height.

In mid 1928 the Scout Series 101 replaced the original Scout. Rear: 1928-30 External contracting bands, 1931 internal expanding shoes In 1949 an all-new motorcycle, with an overhead valve straight-twin engine, was called the Scout it was enlarged and renamed the Warrior in 1950.Д«etween 20, the Indian Motorcycle Company of America, based in Gilroy, California, built a Scout model using proprietary engine and transmission parts. Military versions of both models were used by US and other Allied forces during World War II.ДЄpart from fifty examples of the 648, a special racing version of the Sport Scout, the Scout was not continued after World War II. The small-displacement Scout and the Sport Scout, introduced in 1934, were continued until the end of civilian production in 1942. A second line of Scouts, with heavier frames, was introduced in 1932 alongside the Standard Scout, which replaced the 101 Scout and shared its frame with the Chief and the Four. The 101 Scout, made from 1928 to 1931, has been called the best motorcycle Indian ever made.

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