A Behind-The-Scenes Look at the Spirit of Munro 2017 Indian Scout Racer

What goes into building a 2017 Indian Scout land-speed racer? Start with a stock frame from the Indian R&D facility’s “boneyard,” add a larger-displacement, seriously modified Scout V-twin and top it off with an aerodynamic set of bodywork. Add lots of after-hours work by a passionate crew with the burning desire to go as fast as possible.

In this, the second video of a four-part series, we take a deep dive into the design and build of the Spirit of Munro Scout land-speed bike and Indian’s return to the Bonneville Salt Flats 50 years after the legendary Burt Munro set a record on his 1920 Scout.
