Let’s say you like the Indian Scout Sixty. It’s really not that hard of a stretch, considering its 78 hp, 999cc V-Twin is a bit more manageable than the big boy 1133cc Twin, and it comes in at a really respectable $8,999. But what if you’re the type who thinks there’s just something missing with the Scout Sixty; maybe there’s not enough black.

Well, worry not, as today Indian has announced the introduction of its latest model, the Scout Bobber Sixty. Taking the Scout Sixty as a starting platform and going full-black with it, the Scout Bobber Sixty is as elemental as they come. Best of all, it comes in at $8,999 – same as the Scout Sixty – for budget-conscious riders looking to join the Indian Motorcycles family.

Taking the Scout Sixty as the base, the Scout Bobber Sixty features a blacked-out engine, a modern tank badge, perch mount mirrors, stripped-down headlight, an all-black seat, and all-new five-spoke all-black wheels.

More Bobber styling includes the chopped front and rear fenders, slammed rear suspension, and all-new street tires. LED rear signals integrate stop, turn and taillights, and there’s also a side-mounted license plate. A black gauge face on the instrument panel completes the look.

While most of the bike is similar to the Scout Sixty, there are a few ergonomic tweaks. The Scout Bobber Sixty’s footpegs are moved 1.5 inches closer to the rider, and tracker handlebars move the rider’s torso forward slightly.

The Scout Bobber Sixty is available in Thunder Black and Thunder Black Smoke paint with ABS and non-ABS versions.

See the full Indian press release below for more information.

Indian Motorcycle, America’s First Motorcycle Company, today introduced the 2020 Indian Scout Bobber Sixty – a 999cc version of its popular Scout Bobber, that is 24 pounds lighter. Starting at $8,999, the Scout Bobber Sixty is a more attainable option for riders seeking Indian Motorcycle’s premium quality and craftsmanship combined with a stripped-down aesthetic.

Powered by the same 78-horsepower engine as the Scout Sixty, the Scout Bobber Sixty’s light weight, nimble handling, and low center of gravity will appeal to all riders seeking mean, old school styling at a competitive price point.

“Bringing a stripped down, old-school Bobber priced at $8,999 is something we’re very excited about. We’re proud to provide such a dynamic offering at a price point that makes owning an Indian motorcycle extremely attainable to an even wider range of riders,” said Reid Wilson, Vice President of Indian Motorcycle.

The Scout Bobber Sixty maintains the stripped-down styling of the Scout Bobber, including chopped fenders and a confident riding position, while adding several cues that give the model a look of its own. The Scout Bobber Sixty features a blacked-out engine, a modern tank badge, perch mount mirrors, stripped down headlight, an all-black seat, and all new five-spoke all black wheels.

Riders looking to customize their Scout Bobber Sixty can do so by selecting from more than 140 authentic Indian Motorcycle accessories. Riders looking to venture outside city limits can enjoy a comfortable ride with Indian Motorcycle’s an all-new color matched comfort seat and passenger seat options.

    Two observations

    1) the foot positioning on the right looks very uncomfortable to hold at that angle if you want to cover the brake- especially given the (admittedly stereotypical) cruiser rider penchant for rear braking primacy.

    2) is the. left side of the bike particularly hideous? I ask because there are no pictures of it here.
