2025 Indian Scout Sixty Lineup – First Look
Smaller Scouts feature 999cc SpeedPlus engine
Indian announced three new Scout Sixty models, adding an entry-level range of bikes slotting in below the recently revamped Scout models. For 2025, the Sixty range consists of the Scout Sixty Bobber, Sport Scout Sixty, and Scout Sixty Classic, with pricing starting at $9,999 and going up to $13,199. That price is significant, not just because the least expensive model slips past the psychological $10k barrier, but also because it significantly undercuts its most direct competitor, the $11,999 Nightster from Harley-Davidson.
The new Scout Sixty models share a 999cc version of the liquid-cooled, 1250cc SpeedPlus engine employed on the larger Scouts, and has just a five-speed gearbox. Indian claims a peak output of 85 hp and 65 lb-ft. at 6,500 rpm, which is lower than the 91 hp and 72 lb-ft. Harley-Davidson claims from the Revolution Max 975T engine, but again, the Scout Sixty starts at a much lower price point, though the gap does even up depending on the variant.
As with the larger Scouts, the Sixty models will be offered with a choice of trims. You don’t get the Limited+Tech trim from the bigger Scouts, but they are available in standard or Limited, which adds ride modes, cruise control, traction control, a USB charger and Limited badging.
The three Scout Sixty variants mirror their counterparts from the full-sized Scout line. The styling is nearly indistinguishable, as illustrated in the juxtaposition of the Scout Bobber Limited and Scout Sixty Bobber Limited below.
The Scout Sixty Bobber offers a stripped down look with a black headlight, 16-inch five-spoke wheels, a very slightly lower seat (25.6 inches vs 25.7 inches), and slammed suspension (i.e. a more marketable way to say reduced suspension travel).
The Scout Sixty Bobber in standard trim starts at $9,999 and comes only in Black Metallic. The Limited trim includes four color options: Black Metallic ($11,699), Springfield Blue ($12,199), Heavy Metal Smoke ($12,199), and Ghost White Metallic Stone ($12,199).
The Scout Sixty Classic brings back retro styling cues like flared front and rear fenders and the exhaust system, wheels and headlight in chrome.
The standard trim Scout Sixty Classic is only offered in Black Metallic for $11,999. The Limited trim is available in three colors: Black Metalic ($12,699), Springfield Blue ($13,199) and Frost Silver ($13,199).
Topping the range is the Sport Scout Sixty which adds a quarter fairing, mini-ape handlebars, a plusher seat, and a 19-inch front wheel. The Sport model also comes with Metzeler Cruisetec tires instead of the Pirelli Night Dragons provided with the Classic and Bobber.
Pricing starts at $11,499 for the Indian Sport Scout Sixty in standard trim in Black Metallic. The Limited trim includes four options: Black Metallic ($12,199), Black Smoke ($12,699), Sunset Red Smoke ($12,699), and Blue Dusk ($12,699).
The 2025 Indian Scout Sixty models will arrive in dealerships later this month.

The black doesn't appeal to me, but I like the Indian Scout Sixty Classic in the Springfield Blue with the chrome.
They really went in on this one, and I for one appreciate it. It looks REALLY solid, but it's a bit heavier than the bikes it competes with - Nightster, Rebel, maybe the odd T100 or V7? It's about even with the Yamaha Bolt, if that matters.
Here's hoping they tuned the suspension well, though I'm not holding my breath for the Bobber-then I'd blow my back AND a lung 🤭
