Indian Motorcycle MY2025 Features Feature-Rich Three Model Scout Sixty Lineup at an 'Accessible' Price-Point
Highlights of Indian Motorcycle's 2025 Model Year additions include an accessible, all-new three-model Scout Sixty lineup that combines "iconic American design" with a "legendary balance of power and control." At the other end of the price-point spectrum the "ultra-exclusive" 2025 Roadmaster Elite touts "premium American craftsmanship" that is "packed with rider-centric technology and luxury comfort".
Indian Motorcycle is adding four new models for 2025, in addition to updates across its lineup. Taking center stage is the all-new, three-model Indian Scout Sixty lineup, and the ultra-exclusive Roadmaster Elite. The 2025 Scout Sixty family offers rider accessibility starting at $9,999, while the 2025 Roadmaster Elite is limited to 300 examples only, worldwide, and is a premium motorcycle for a premium price - starting at $41,000.
"Our 2025 model year lineup offers new models and updates across the board to serve our ever-growing community of global riders," said Aaron Jax, Vice President for Indian Motorcycle. "The new Scout Sixty lineup builds upon our iconic Scout platform and offers a more accessible lineup for riders of all skill levels. We also welcome the return of our ultra-premium Roadmaster Elite, designed with obsessive attention-to-detail, loads of rider-centric technology, luxury comfort, and premium, American craftsmanship."
An all-new Scout Sixty platform features three models - the Scout Sixty Bobber, Sport Scout Sixty and Scout Sixty Classic - at varying trim levels, all featuring "universal accessibility" at a starting price-point that Harley-Davidson simply refuses to serve.
Ergonomics for those price conscious buyers include a "class leading" low seat height to deliver "a confidence-inspiring ride for motorcyclists of all sizes and experience levels", while a low center of gravity "gives the bike a lightweight feel off the kickstand and exceptional low-speed maneuverability." Standard across the lineup are mid controls - keeping riders' feet planted firmly below for easier riding and better control.

Tech features include Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) across the entire lineup, "along with optional Traction Control and Ride Modes, which provide three distinct throttle responses to suit diverse riding styles, add to the Scout Sixty's approachability."
The new Scout Sixty's tubular steel frame "offers a clean and simple approach ready for seamless customization," with "class-leading fit and finish that separates the Scout Sixty from the competition."
Scout Sixty Bobber - Stripped down with an aggressive stance and class-leading low seat height, the Scout Sixty Bobber is the perfect expression of iconic bobber style. Blacked out with a black headlight bucket, the minimalist bobber aesthetic features a solo bobber-style seat, slammed two-inch suspension, and 16-inch, five-spoke wheels.
Sport Scout Sixty - A more aggressive and sporty package with Mini Ape Handlebars, integrated risers to improve reach and control, sport-style seat provides riders with more comfort, a quarter Fairing provides stylish wind protection; the 19-inch front wheel is said to add style and deliver agile handling.
Scout Sixty Classic |
Scout Sixty Classic - Featuring heritage-inspired design, premium chrome, classic Indian Motorcycle flared fenders, "flawless paint", relaxed ergonomics, a low seat height, and 16-inch cast wheels.
Indian Scout Sixty power is from a completely redesigned SpeedPlus 999 cc engine - delivering 65 ft-lbs of torque and 85 horsepower. Learning the lessons that Harley just refuse to take on board about the current market, the "smaller, liquid-cooled engine and five-speed transmission offer a more approachable powertrain for riders of all levels."
Despite that customer friendly price-point additional features include choice of two trim offerings - Standard and Limited.
The Standard provides a "next generation" electrical architecture that includes ABS, LED lighting, a larger battery, new fuel level gauge for more accurate and real-time fuel monitoring, and new hand controls for improved ergonomics and enhanced rider control, an analog gauge and keyed ignition.
The Limited raises an already high bar (for the price!) with everything on Standard trim and adds additional features including Cruise Control, Traction Control, Ride Modes, a USB charging port and exclusive badging across the engine and frame.

Needless to say, there is a comprehensive accessory program of over 100 factory accessories including handlebar options, different seats and forward controls. In total, Scout Sixty offers 32 different ergonomic configurations - "allowing riders to ride longer and farther.
Popular accessories available for the Scout Sixty include 4-inch touchscreen display powered by RIDE COMMAND offering GPS navigation, ride stats, controllable ride modes, Bluetooth connectivity; a quick release touring windshield; a 2-up seat; Touring saddlebags and a weatherproof Bobber style saddlebag with left and right rear fender options.
Roadmaster Elite - 300 reassuringly expensive numbered examples
Between 1914-1918, Indian Motorcycle Company founder George Hendee had expanded Indian Motorcycle's production facilities in Springfield, creating the most modern motorcycle manufacturing facility in the world. In addition to the famous Indian Motorcycle Red paint, which debuted in 1904, Indian Motorcycle Springfield Blue was the other iconic brand color of that era.
Honoring that past, the new Roadmaster Elite wears a tri-tone signature paint scheme, with premium candy finishes throughout. Indian Motorcycle Springfield Blue Candy, Black Candy, and Black Candy fade over a Silver base coat - complemented by Champion Gold outlined Headdress tank logos - completed with signature Elite graphics and hand-painted gold pinstripes.

Matching the Roadmaster Elite's premium styling is high-end, rider-centric technology - Indian Motorcycle's PowerBand audio with bass boost, twelve speakers in the front fairing, saddlebags, and tour trunk with UnderGlow lighting; 7-inch touchscreen display by RIDE COMMAND (Bluetooth connectivity, access to GPS navigation, ride stats, and RIDE COMMAND+, including bike locator, bike health, Apple CarPlay); air-cooled, V-twin Thunderstroke 116 engine (126 ft-lbs of torque); three ride modes (Tour, Standard and Sport); patented technology adaptive LED headlight with lean angle optimization; 2-up heated and cooled seat with graphene material for enhanced temperature optimization and heating /cooling distribution; spacious floorboards and passenger armrests; key fob operated remote-locking saddlebags and tour trunk; and a handlebar-mounted switch that will raise or lower the adjustable Flare Windshield by four inches (kudos to the team at Klock Werks).
Interestingly though, there's no 'Barista Grade' Italian made Lavazza coffee maker. Never mind, maybe someone will come up with an aftermarket fit kit for a retro upgrade (- Brian?).
