Read More Spec Showdown: Harley-Davidson Sportster S Vs. Indian Scout
By Wayfarer | | General Posts
by Dustin Wheelen from https://www.rideapart.com An American middleweight melee. For decades, the Harley-Davidson Sportster dominated the American middleweight V-twin class, mostly by dint of being the only American middleweight V-twin. Without a top contender to challenge its reign, the Motor Company only issued modest upgrades since 1986. However, that all changed when the Indian Scout burst onto the scene in 2015. Heavily based on the Victory Octane, the revived Scout paired Indianās rich heritage with thoroughly modern equipment. The liquid-cooled, DOHC, 1,133cc V-twin was the antithesis of Harleyās ancient air-cooled Evo engine. Compared to the Sportsterās signature teardrop tank and engine cooling fins, the Scoutās low-slung stance and neo-bobber aesthetic presented a viable alternative to Harleyās aging platform. Facing a ...

Next year in March, when the upcoming event is scheduled, people attending will be celebrating the 80th edition of the race. On their end, organizers will do so with ...

The bill is in response to actions taken by the EPA in 2015. At that time, the EPA issued a proposed regulation that would prohibit the conversion of emissions-certified motor ...
