Indian clearly wants to emphasize the new floating solo saddles on its limited-edition Scout 100th Anniversary (left) and new Scout Bobber Twenty (right) models, which join the Scout, Scout Bobber and Scout Sixty in Indian’s 2020 lineup.

The legendary Scout, which rivaled the Chief as Indian?s most important model, was introduced for the 1920 model year.
