The 2017 Indian Motorcycle Scout Sixty is powered by a 61 cubic-inch, liquid cooled V-Twin engine with Electronic Fuel Injection. While its exhaust note won’t rattle your neighborhood, the sound is satisfying enough. More importantly, the engine is just big enough to give the Scout Sixty enough quickness to get you out of ahead of traffic and enough overall speed to make freeway or highway cruising carefree.
The controls are stripped down and basic, still reminiscent of the Scout of old. There is a simple speedometer and sport mirrors set up around self-canceling signal indicators and a menu toggle trigger that lets the rider cycle through a basic digital display of RPMs, miles and trip counter.
The ride feel is grounded, but not harsh, thanks to front telescopic fork and rear dual shock suspension. The balance is outstanding and the controls responsive. The Scout Sixty is an all-around pleasure to ride.
