“Countless hours from an incredible team went into building the premier Scout FTR750 racebike. And early testing showed we had something special,” said Gary Gray, vice president of product management for Indian.

“Much of the credit goes to the Indian Motorcycle Wrecking Crew of Jared, Bryan, and Brad. We cannot praise these guys enough for all the work they put in during the season. It was a phenomenal year that vastly exceeded expectations, and we’re excited to carry this momentum to the 2018 season.”
