Of course we couldn’t help ourselves to want to use that water cooled twin in something a little more traditional/completely nontraditional. If you can see the writing on the wall here, it’s the contradictions in what the RSD Scout is and what it is not. We’ve completely deconstructed the stock Scout and rebuilt a frame inspired by the original Scout in ChroMoly that is damn close to the Project 156. What that means is it’s a very lightweight frame with much more aggressive geometry than the stock Scout frame, shorter and with less rake. We’ve also utilized the same rear suspension package “Panigale” we used for Project 156. If your hip to the Polaris method, the Scout and the 156 share some mounting points which made this project much easier as we’d perfected the suspension geometry on the 156. What it’s not.. it’s definitely not a “cruiser” anymore. If you’re a traditional fan of the Indian Scout than you understand that the Scout was a racer. This bike carries that racing heritage.
