 |  | | From From Jonathan Lamas, your About Auto & Wheels Editor | | | When it comes to American motorcycle companies, Indian holds the title as the oldest brand in the United States. Although it went away for some time, it was resurrected in 2013 thanks to Polaris. New for 2015 is the company’s Indian Scout, a sharp looking ride with plenty of personality and nostalgic looks to go around. | | | | | | Indian’s newest ride, the Scout, boasts a liquid-cooled 1,133cc (69 cubic inch) V-Twin engine producing 100 horsepower and 72 lb-ft of torque. It’s also pretty easy on the eyes, with numerous goodies including a leather solo seat which Indian says makes them the only brand to offer that material as standard equipment. As for the cost, in all the bike starts at around $10,999. Not a bad deal for a bike with attractive styling, polished riding dynamics, and a charismatic personality.
