Scout's concept is completely different. This car completely reproduces the elegance of the first generation Scout of 19 19. Whether it's a leather single cushion with a large number of chrome-plated parts decorated with white lines or an iron-gray aluminum alloy platform, the black-silver two-color wheel frame combines classic and texture. I have to admit that Scout and Scout sixty are different grades.
If you only covet the pure American design and riding pleasure of Indian motorcycles, then Scout Sixty can satisfy you, but if you have a certain insistence on taste, Scout does have a charm that is hard to look directly at. The height of the Scout seat is only 643 mm, which is lower than that of the scooter of 125cc, so that your feet can feel safe when landing easily. When starting the engine, we feel more detailed operational performance, which is more subtle than the vibration of Scout Six. For example, when we were experiencing Scout Six, we wrote that the old rough V-type twin-cylinder engine that shook our hands was a thing of the past. The evolved American motorcycle has got rid of the annoying operation vibration and gained the superb operation performance of modern car-making technology. However, the only constant of Scout is the unique stirring and beating sound of American V-engine.
Even when riding an American motorcycle with a straight sitting posture, it still lost to the acceleration performance of Scout, and gradually lowered its body like a sports car riding, trying to reduce the extra wind resistance. What is even more surprising is that Scout's water-cooled V-engine still runs smoothly at high speed, with slight vibration, which greatly reduces the fatigue of long-distance riding and increases the more comfortable performance, but such exquisite operation is not perfect. Because the vibration is low, if you don't deliberately look down at the dashboard, you don't know that you are actually riding very fast and speeding, so you should be extra careful in speed control. Compared with Scout Six, Scout adopts a six-speed gear in the gearbox, so the gear shifting connection is more dense, and the speed can be extremely low during high-speed cruising, and almost all the way forward by lightly stepping on the throttle. Riding on the straight road is very leisurely, and the digital interface in the ring instrument is also added.
In addition to superior performance to other American motorcycle brands, another specialty of Scout is maneuverability. The optimization of Scout's suspension setting bias control belongs to short-stroke Q, but it is tough. The vibration will be greater when passing through bumpy roads than that of ordinary American motorcycles, but the stability is excellent when cruising at high speed. In addition, the damping matching of the front and rear suspension is very good when cornering, and it still shows excellent stability even when the throttle is supplemented. In addition, the lower seat height allows the knight to confidently show high-speed and worry-free riding pleasure in corners. Although it is a low-American motorcycle, due to the ingenious design arrangement, Scout's inclination angle can be made more oblique than that of ordinary American motorcycles, and its performance in continuous curved mountain roads is not inferior to that of ordinary street cars. In addition, Scout's sensitive steering characteristics in urban traffic queues are impressive. It is hard to imagine that a Volkswagen upgraded American motorcycle weighing nearly 250 kilograms can have such light handling performance, which is really amazing.
