The Scout Sixty has been in coming for quite some time now and Indian Motorcycles has finally launched it in India at a price of INR 11.99 lakh (Ex-showroom, Delhi). The Scout Sixty will be available in three colours of Thunder Black, Red and Pearl White. Deliveries will begin in July, 2016. The Scout Sixty is now the most affordable Indian you can buy.
It is positioned just below the Scout. True to the craftsmanship, reliability and legendary agility of the Indian Scout, the all-new Indian Scout Sixty shares almost everything with its elder sibling - the identical chassis, suspension, brakes and core engine, barring the new 60 cubic inch engine. It gets a 999cc V-Twin engine that pumps out 76bhp of power and 88.8Nm of torque at 5,800rpm. The engine comes mated to a silky smooth, easy-to- shift 5-speed transmission.
