    Ultra-exclusive 2025 Roadmaster Elite touts premium, American craftsmanship, packed with rider-centric technology & luxury comfort 
    Indian Springfield Special Edition for select international markets, crafted to be the ultimate in heritage style, comfort, and exclusivity

    Indian Motorcycle, America’s First Motorcycle Company, today announced its 2025 model year lineup, introducing four new models including a special international model. Taking center stage is the all-new Indian Scout Sixty lineup, the ultra-exclusive Roadmaster Elite, and the Indian Springfield Special Edition for select international markets – collectively delivering custom-inspired styling, rider accessibility and premium, American craftsmanship.

    “Our 2025 model year lineup offers new models and updates across the board to serve our ever-growing community of global riders,” said Aaron Jax, Vice President for Indian Motorcycle. “The new Scout Sixty lineup builds upon our iconic Scout platform and offers a more accessible lineup for riders of all skill levels. Rounding out our 2025 launch are the return of our ultra-premium Roadmaster Elite and the Indian Springfield Special Edition both designed with obsessive attention-to-detail, loads of rider-centric technology, luxury comfort, and premium, American craftsmanship.”

    RETURN OF THE SCOUT SIXTY

    The Indian Scout is a cornerstone of the Indian Motorcycle family and its most successful platform. With the introduction of the all-new 2025 Indian Scout and the SpeedPlus engine earlier this year, the foundations were laid to reintroduce the Scout Sixty to international lineups where it had been absent due to tighter emissions regulations.

    Drawn to its iconic design, over 90% of Scout buyers are new to the brand, and with its lightweight, nimble handling and low seat height, nearly a quarter of all Indian Scout buyers are new to riding. The new Scout Sixty expands that reach by offering its timeless American style and legendary combination of balance and control at a more attainable price point.

    2025 SCOUT SIXTY LINEUP

    Expanding the legendary Indian Scout lineup, Indian Motorcycle introduces an all-new Scout Sixty platform. Featuring two models for Europe (Scout Sixty Bobber and Scout Sixty Classic) at varying trim levels, the 2025 Scout Sixty family features universal accessibility, iconic American design, and a legendary balance of power and control.

    Universal Accessibility

    The all-new Indian Scout Sixty represents Indian Motorcycle’s most approachable model – priced to provide more riders the opportunity to create stories worth sharing.

    A class-leading low seat height delivers a confidence-inspiring ride for motorcyclists of all sizes and experience levels, while a low center of gravity gives the bike a lightweight feel off the kickstand and exceptional low-speed maneuverability. Standard across the entire lineup are mid controls – keeping riders’ feet planted firmly below for easier riding and better control.

    Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is standard across the entire lineup, while Traction Control and Ride Modes are available on Limited trims and optional on Standard trim levels. Like other Indian Motorcycle models, Scout Sixty’s ride modes (Sport, Standard, Rain) provide three distinct throttle responses to suit diverse riding styles and different road conditions.

    Offering its timeless American style and legendary combination of balance and control to even more riders, the Scout Sixty lineup is also available in A2 specification for younger riders.

    Iconic American Design

    Timeless style and perfect proportions are part of the Indian Scout’s DNA. The new Scout Sixty’s tubular steel frame delivers a timeless style, while the design’s clean and simple approach allows it to be ready for seamless customization. Like each Indian Motorcycle, fine American craftsmanship, and class-leading fit and finish separates the Scout Sixty from the competition.

    The 2025 Indian Scout Sixty European lineup features two models, matching personal styles and meeting diverse riding needs.

    Stripped down with an aggressive stance and class-leading low seat height, the Scout Sixty Bobber is the perfect expression of iconic bobber style. Blacked out with a black headlight bucket, the Scout Sixty Bobber reinforces a minimalist bobber aesthetic – featuring a solo bobber-style seat, slammed 51 mm suspension, and 16-inch, five-spoke wheels.

    Scout Sixty Classic [IMAGES/VIDEO]
    Featuring heritage-inspired design, the Scout Sixty Classic offers premium chrome, classic Indian Motorcycle flared fenders, and flawless paint. Relaxed ergonomics, a low seat height, and 16-inch cast wheels deliver an easy, confident ride at every speed.

    Legendary Balance of Power & Control

    Powering the Indian Scout Sixty lineup is a completely redesigned SpeedPlus 999cc engine – delivering 87 Nm of torque and 85 horsepower. The smaller, liquid-cooled engine and five-speed transmission offer a more approachable powertrain for riders of all levels.

    Each Scout Sixty model is available in two trim offerings.

    Standard
    The Scout Sixty Standard trim provides riders with all the essentials for hitting the road. A next generation electrical architecture includes ABS, LED lighting, new fuel level gauge, new hand controls and a larger battery. Standard trim includes an analog gauge and keyed ignition.

    Limited

    Raising the bar with rider-centric features, Limited trim models offer everything on Standard trim but adds even more. Cruise control offers a comfortable highway ride, Traction Control delivers confident and predictable handling, Ride Modes provide a tailored ride experience, and a USB charging port keeps devices fully charged while on the road. Limited models also feature exclusive 999cc engine and frame badging.

    Scout Sixty Accessories

    Compatible with Indian Scout 1250cc accessories, Scout Sixty riders have access to over 100 factory accessories. Riders looking to personalize and adjust riding ergonomics have access to a variety of handlebar options, different seats, including an extended reach seat, and forward controls. In total, Scout Sixty offers 32 different ergonomic configurations – allowing riders to ride longer and farther. Popular accessories available for the Scout Sixty include the following:

    – 101 mm Touchscreen Display Powered by RIDE COMMAND: Modern technology disguised in the classic aesthetic of an analog gauge. The 101 mm Touchscreen Display Powered by RIDE COMMAND offers GPS navigation*, controllable ride modes, Bluetooth® connectivity and more.

    – Quick Release Touring Windshield: The Indian Motorcycle Quick Release Touring Windshield not only adds custom style but disperses wind and protects riders from the elements.

    – Syndicate Seat: The 2-Up Syndicate Seat features interior foam padding for comfort and support for both rider and passenger. The black, leather-like vinyl provides long-term, all-weather durability and protection against rain, humidity and harsh sunlight. The 2-Up Syndicate Seat’s design complements the Scout and Scout Sixty’s flowing lines.

    – Touring Saddlebags: Helping keep riders’ gear and belongings safe and protected, the Touring Saddlebags feature sturdy Fidlock magnetic technology, an easy-on and easy-off magnetic closure device that delivers a quick, secure closure. The Touring Saddlebags also have a durable molded interior bucket that maintains its shape even when empty.

    – Bobber Saddlebag: With a Left and Right rear fender option available, the Bobber Saddlebag allows riders to pack the essentials while its fully weatherproof design provides added protection. The Bobber Saddlebag has a raw, no-frills style that complements the aggressive look of the Scout Bobber and Scout Sixty Bobber.

    ROADMASTER ELITE [IMAGES/VIDEO]

    With bold, eye-catching paint, premium badging and top-of-the-line componentry, the new 2025 Indian Roadmaster Elite is the ultimate celebration of Indian Motorcycle’s timeless heritage and commitment to world-class craftsmanship. With only 300 available worldwide and just 60 outside of North America, the Roadmaster Elite proves it’s truly exclusive and truly elite.

    Exclusive Styling

    Between 1914-1918, Indian Motorcycle Company founder George Hendee had expanded Indian Motorcycle’s production facilities in Springfield, creating the most modern motorcycle manufacturing facility in the world. Skilled craftsmen hand assembled each bike with painstaking attention to detail. In addition to the famous Indian Motorcycle Red paint which debuted in 1904, Indian Motorcycle Springfield Blue was the other iconic brand color of this era.

    Honoring that past, the new Roadmaster Elite wears a tri-tone signature paint scheme, with premium candy finishes throughout. Indian Motorcycle Springfield Blue Candy with Black Candy Fade over Silver are complemented by Champion Gold outlined Headdress tank logos. The striking paint package is completed with signature Elite graphics and hand-painted gold pinstripes. Premium chrome-plated finishes glisten front to back and elevate classic craftsmanship to the highest level. To top off the custom touches, each Roadmaster Elite features serialized and individually numbered Elite badging, further signifying the bike’s exclusivity.

    Rider-Centric Technology

    Matching the Roadmaster Elite’s premium styling is high-end, rider-centric technology. Standard on Roadmaster Elite is Indian Motorcycle’s PowerBand Audio with Bass Boost. Twelve speakers located in the front fairing, saddlebags, and tour trunk deliver even more bass than the Roadmaster’s stock sound system. To operate the PowerBand Audio system, riders will enjoy a 146 mm Touchscreen Display by RIDE COMMAND. Through this infotainment system, riders have Bluetooth connectivity, access to GPS navigation*, and factory-installed RIDE COMMAND+ modem for one-year of free connected services including bike locator, bike health, Apple CarPlay®, and more.

    Powering the Roadmaster Elite is Indian Motorcycle’s air-cooled, V-twin Thunderstroke 116 engine – delivering 171 Nm of torque with plenty of passing power in every gear. Three ride modes (Tour, Standard and Sport) allow riders to personalize their ride by adjusting the throttle response to suit their preference.

    Improving nighttime visibility and adding even more eye-catching style at night are the Indian Motorcycle Adaptive LED Headlight. The Adaptive LED Headlight provides even more illumination than stock headlights, as patented, cutting-edge technology optimizes the rider’s visibility by monitoring the bike’s lean angle to optimize illumination of the road ahead.

    Luxury Comfort

    Whether a day ride or a weekend getaway crushing long highway miles, Indian Motorcycle designed the 2025 Roadmaster Elite with unrivaled luxury and comfort. The bike’s new 2-up Heated and Cooled seat delivers unparalleled comfort for both rider and passenger, as a graphene material optimizes heating or cooling distribution while maintaining superior comfort. Spacious floorboards and passenger armrests are also standard on the 2025 Roadmaster Elite.

    Adding custom-inspired styling and delivering luxury comfort is an adjustable Flare Windshield. A handlebar-mounted switch will raise or lower the windshield by four inches – allowing riders to select their preferred windshield height for more or less wind on the face and helmet.

    Finally, the 2025 Roadmaster Elite features remote-locking saddlebags and a tour trunk. Riders can simply press a button on the console or key fob, and cargo is stowed away safely.

    INDIAN SPRINGFIELD SPECIAL EDITION – Select International markets only [IMAGES/VIDEO]

    With timeless beauty, flawless paint, premium chrome plating and legendary Thunderstroke power, the Indian Springfield Special Edition is designed for riders who are proud to showcase Indian Motorcycle’s iconic history. The Indian Springfield Special Edition is a fitting tribute to Indian Motorcycle’s legendary heritage of impeccable style and design.

    Last chance to own an icon

    Since 1901, Indian Motorcycle has been the trailblazing force in American motorcycling. That iconic heritage comes together with legendary performance and modern rider amenities in the ultimate cruiser that showcases timeless American style. With a commanding presence, exacting fit-and-finish, and flawless paint and chrome finishes, the Indian Springfield Special Edition redefines what to expect in a premium American classic. Crafted to be the ultimate in heritage style, exclusivity and comfort, just 50 units will be available across select international markets and is the last change to purchase the iconic Indian Springfield in select European markets

    The Ultimate in American Style

    Honoring the past, the Indian Springfield Special Edition wears a two-tone paint scheme featuring Ivory Cream and the brand’s signature 1904 Indian Motorcycle Red with Anniversary Gold Metallic headdress logos adorning the tank and Anniversary Gold Metallic pinstriping throughout. The tan genuine leather seat is designed with comfort in mind and is the perfect addition to highlight Indian Motorcycle’s American style. Iconic valanced fenders with an illuminated headdress logo out front makes a statement going back to the 1940s when Indian Motorcycle’s design leadership transformed American motorcycling. Jewel-like chrome plated finishes sparkle in all the right places. To top off the custom touches, each end of series Indian Springfield Special Edition features a serialized engine badge that is individually numbered to further distinguish its premium exclusivity.

    Legendary Thunderstroke Power

    At the heart of the ultimate American cruiser is the legendary Thunderstroke 116 air-cooled V-twin. Boasting 171 Nm of torque straight from the factory, the Thunderstroke 116 provides exceptional power at low RPMs and a smooth ride at any speed with the responsiveness and passing power cruiser riders crave. Three distinct ride modes — Tour, Standard, or Sport — and rear cylinder deactivation further enhance the riding experience by delivering modern performance and function without compromising timeless style.

    Unmatched Comfort

    The ultimate in style and exclusivity, the Indian Springfield Special Edition comes fully equipped from the factory with storage, amenities, and passenger comfort. A quick release windshield better manages airflow to reduce rider fatigue but detaches in seconds to further highlight the bike’s clean and iconic look. Color-matched remote locking hard saddlebags complete the overall heritage design and provide secure storage around town or for quick getaways. Passenger comfort is a priority with a comfortable seat and a quick release passenger sissy bar that all come standard. To further enhance the luxuriously comfortable ride, both rider and passenger floorboards are adjustable, and chrome highway bars provide even more comfort options on longer trips. Completing the package, a long list of rider-centric technology like keyless ignition, cruise control and USB charging mean no compromises to modern function in this exclusive and timeless design.

    **The Indian Springfield will continue to be available in North America and APAC region.

  2. Introducing the new BMW F 900 R and F 900 XR

    Posted on

    "With a significantly extended range of standard equipment, fully adjustable upside-down forks, lighter wheels and a weight saving of 3 kilograms, we have been able to make the BMW F 900 R and F 900 XR even more attractive. The new F 900 R also benefits from a sportier riding position and the F 900 XR from optimised aerodynamics." 

    Anton Huber, Project Manager 

    The new BMW F 900 R and F 900 XR: Technical and visual upgrades and significantly extended standard equipment for the dynamic roadster and long-distance sports bike in the mid-range segment.

    With the new BMW F 900 R dynamic roadster and the new F 900 XR crossover bike, BMW Motorrad is taking its popular mid- range product range to a new level. Both F-models are designed for sportiness and fun in twisty terrain, with even more agile handling and are suitable for experienced riders as well as newcomers and those returning to motorcycling. While the new
     F 900 R as a Dynamic Roadster focuses primarily on sporty riding pleasure, the F 900 XR has everything it takes to be a confident partner on longer tours and holiday trips with luggage. 

    Powerful two-cylinder in-line engine with Euro 5+ homologation. Dynamic riding mode with sportier set-up, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) and engine drag torque control now standard. New sports silencer in collaboration with Akrapovič as genuine BMW Motorrad accessories.

    In the new BMW F 900 R and F 900 XR, the tried-and-tested two- cylinder in-line engine with 895 cc capacity and 77 kW (105 bhp) of power output ensures pleasurable riding dynamics. It also delivers a full-bodied torque curve in the current Euro 5+ homologation. With the newly tuned standard "Dynamic" driving mode, the two new F models offer even more riding pleasure and dynamics at a sporty pace. Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) is fitted as standard to ensure the best possible safety during acceleration. The engine drag torque control is also standard. It prevents rear wheel spin or skidding caused by abrupt throttle release or downshifting, for an even higher level of safety. 

    The sound of the two-cylinder engine, which already has a powerful character due to the 270/450 degree firing interval, is made even throatier by the new sports silencer available as a genuine
     BMW Motorrad accessory in cooperation with AkrapovicÌŒ, which also offers a weight saving of approximately 1.2 kg. 

    New upside-down telescopic forks with adjustable damping rebound and compression damping and spring preload. New wheels, approx. 1.8 kg lighter. BMW Motorrad ABS Pro and Dynamic Brake Control DBC as standard - for even more safety when braking. 

    On both the new BMW F 900 R and the new BMW F 900 XR, the front wheel is guided by new, torsionally rigid, upside-down telescopic forks with 43 mm slider tube diameter. Both rebound and compression damping as well as spring preload are now adjustable. This makes it possible to tailor the forks to suit individual requirements. 

    The new BMW F 900 R and F 900 XR also feature new 17-inch cast aluminium wheels. They weigh around 1.8 kg less than the previous models, contributing to a total weight reduction of 3 kg. 

    Another new standard feature on the new F models is
     BMW Motorrad ABS Pro. In contrast to BMW Motorrad ABS,
     ABS Pro goes one step further and offers even more safety when braking in bends by enabling ABS-assisted braking at lean angles. 

    Another new standard safety feature is Dynamic Brake Control (DBC), which provides even greater safety when braking in difficult situations by preventing unintentional acceleration. 

    New, 0.8 kg lighter battery as standard and function-integrated turn indicator lights in the new rear end. BMW F 900 XR with Headlight Pro including daytime running light, adaptive headlight, USB-C charging port and heated grips as standard.
    The two new F Series models are equipped with a new battery that is 0.8 kg lighter. They also have a new rear end with function- integrated turn indicator lights (brake and tail light functions are integrated into the turn indicator lights). 

    The new BMW F 900 XR comes with Headlight Pro as standard, including daytime running light and adaptive headlight for even greater safety when riding at night. Other new standard features of the F 900 XR include the USB-C charging port on the right-hand side of the cockpit with a maximum charging current of 2.4 A and the heated grips. 

    BMW F 900 R with optimised ergonomics thanks to a redefined position of the handlebars and footrests for a more sporty riding position. New headlight side trim painted in body colour.

    The handlebars, footrests and foot levers of the ergonomic triangle between the handlebars, seat and footrests of the new BMW 

    F 900 R have been redesigned. This has made it possible to create a riding position that is significantly more sporty and closer to the front wheel. 

    The new F 900 R's increased sporting ambitions are emphasised by the headlamp side trim painted in body colour. 

    BMW F 900 XR with optimised aerodynamics and hand protectors as standard.
    The new BMW F 900 XR offers even more touring capability and long-distance comfort thanks to optimised aerodynamics in the front fairing. The redesigned wind deflector reduces wind pressure on the rider, resulting in significantly less helmet vibration and even greater riding comfort. The hand protectors, which are standard for all equipment variants, also provides improved protection from the wind and weather. 

    Equipment variants and colours. 

    The new BMW F 900 R is available in three attractive colours. The basic variant is available in Snapper Rocks Blue metallic, the Triple Black version in Blackstorm metallic and the version Sport in Lightwhite with Racingblue metallic. 

    The new BMW F 900 XR will also be available in three variants and colours for the coming motorcycle season. The basic variant is available in Racing Red, the Triple Black version in Blackstorm metallic and the version Sport in Lightwhite with Racingblue metallic. 

    New optional equipment and genuine BMW Motorrad accessories for the new BMW R 900 and R 900 XR.

    Suzuki has released two new colour schemes for its naked street bike, the GSX-S125, and announced that the L-plate friendly machine – along with its faired stablemate, the GSX-R125 – will also be available with £650 off the RRP until 16 December, 2024.

  4. Jared Mees Rides Off into Sunset, Announces Retirement After Setting New Career Championship Record & Completing FTR750’s Perfect Championship Run

    Posted on

    Mees Caps Off Historic Career with Win at Lake Ozark Short Track, Sets All-Time Career Grand National Championship Record with 10 Titles & Secures FTR750’s 8th Consecutive American Flat Track Championship in as Many Seasons
    Indian FTR750 Leaves Behind Unprecedented Legacy, As New 2025 Rule Changes Render Indian Motorcycle’s Premier Flat Track Race Bike Ineligible
    The 2024 American Flat Track season began with Jared Mees seeking an unprecedented 10th-career Grand National Championship. In a triumphant and emotional conclusion to an unparalleled career, Mees stood on top of the box one final time – closing out the most successful career in the sport of professional flat track racing. Mees’ final win not only secured his record-setting 10th-career championship but closed the book on the sport’s most dominant race bike, the Indian FTR750.

    “This victory is more than just another championship—it’s the perfect way to honor everything we’ve achieved with the Indian FTR750,” said Mees, “We’ve had an incredible journey with this bike, and to go out on top, knowing it’s the last time, makes this win even more special.”

    Racing for the final time aboard the FTR750, Mees showcased his relentless determination and elite skill, outpacing a field of talented riders, including fierce competitors Dallas Daniels and Brandon Robinson. Only needing three points to secure the historic title, Mees grabbed the holeshot and battled until the end – beating Robinson by a mere 0.423 seconds. The win is a testament to the historic partnership between Mees and Indian Motorcycle, who have dominated the American Flat Track series since 2017.

    “In 2017, at the Daytona TT, Jared secured the FTR750’s first win, as he and Bryan Smith went 1-2 in our first race as a factory team,” said Gary Gray, Vice President Racing and Service for Indian Motorcycle. “Back then, none of us knew it was the start of a historic run of eight consecutive championships. We’re extremely proud of our accomplishments and want to thank all our factory riders and privateers that contributed to the FTR750’s success.”

    The 2024 AFT SuperTwins championship marks an end of an era for Indian Motorcycle, as new 2025 rules will render the flat track race bike ineligible. Since its debut, the FTR750 has not only revived the storied tradition of the original Indian Wrecking Crew, but it revolutionized the landscape of flat track racing – quickly earning a reputation as the most dominant machine in the AFT paddock. The FTR750 retires with 75%-win ratio, winning 104 of the 138 races it competed in. The FTR750 has a perfect championship record, winning all premier class titles since 2017.

  5. Indian Motorcycle to feature Mikkey Dee’s Forged Indian Scout at Glemseck 101

    Posted on

    Indian Motorcycle, America’s First Motorcycle Company, is pleased to announce that the custom Forged Indian Scout, built for rock and roll icon Mikkey Dee, will be showcased at the upcoming Glemseck 101 motorcycle festival in Germany.

    The final build in Indian Motorcycle’s six-part Forged video series, the custom Indian Scout was created by Ronna Norén of Unique Custom Cycles, a legendary Swedish builder, who took full advantage of the all-new Scout’s steel tube frame by cutting and modifying it to achieve a look inspired by the bikes of Stan Dishong, an early pioneer of the chopper scene.

    Mikkey Dee, renowned for his drumming with the iconic bands Motörhead and Scorpions, has always been a passionate motorcycle enthusiast and his one-of-a-kind motorcycle will be a centrepiece of the Indian Motorcycle booth, offering festival-goers a unique opportunity to see this clean, modern chopper up close in the paint and metal.

    In addition to the Forged Indian Scout, the Indian Motorcycle booth at Glemseck 101 will feature the latest models from the all-new Indian Scout lineup, on which the Forged Scout is built, along with opportunities for attendees to engage with Indian Motorcycle’s team,  and experience live music.

    Glemseck 101 is one of Europe’s most popular motorcycle festivals, attracting thousands of riders and enthusiasts from around the world. The event is known for its celebration of custom bikes, racing, and the culture that surrounds motorcycling. The Glemseck 101 festival will take place from August 30 to September 1 in Leonberg, Germany.
