By the mid-1920s, competition among American motorcycle manufacturers was fierce – both on and off the racetrack.

In 1928, Indian Motorcycle designer Charles Franklin, himself a former racer, introduced what many enthusiasts believe to be the greatest Indian of them all – the 101 Scout. Light, fast and reliable, the new design was an instant success. The model was in production for only four years until the Great Depression forced Indian to cut production in 1932. Ironically, the demise of the 101 Scout may have inspired the creation of Indian’s best-known motorcycle, the Chief.

This rare and beautiful 101 Scout is one of the treasures of Kiehl’s extensive collection of vintage motorcycles.
