The Scout FTR750 is the latest and greatest offering from Indian Motorcycles, which essentially marks the venerable motorbike manufacturer's return to the flat track racing format after a gap of 60 years.
This particular Indian Motorcycles creation comes equipped with a powerful and fully liquid-cooled custom 750 cc V-Twin engine that works in conjunction with a centrally mounted airbox. Both of these components are situated within a sturdy steel frame, while the motorbike itself is made out of carbon fiber, which enables the bike to keep its weight down without compromising on its durability. The bike is set to become a feature of the 2017 racing season.
This motorbike is an intelligent example of automotive engineering because it speaks to the importance of tempering forward-looking performance technologies with tried-and-tested design.
