This Weekend At New York International Motorcycle Show. 2015 Indian Motorcycle Lineup And Two New Customs.

Karlee-Cobb-of-Klock-WerksKarlee-Cobb-PreviewIndian Motorcycle® announced its plans for this weekend’s Progressive International Motorcycle Show in New York City, plus other upcoming show stops across the country. Each event will prominently feature the stunning new 2015 Indian® Scout™ , the industry’s most talked about new middle-weight cruiser, the ultra-premium luxury touring Indian Roadmaster, the Chief Classic, the Chief Vintage, the Chieftain.

Shope-1Shope-Preview-1Attendees will also be treated to two new custom Indian Scouts. Custom builder and Bonneville Flats land speed record holder Karlee Cobb of Klock Werks Kustom Cycles has created “Outrider” inspired by the rough and ready attitude of the new model.  Outrider is a bike that pumps up the attitude of the 100 horsepower bike, in a design that will inspire home custom builders. Also being revealed for the weekend is “Scout 42” designed by John Shope, owner of custom shop Dirty Bird. The Scout has long been recognized for its sporting heritage framed by racing wins, world records and performances on the fabled “Wall of Death.” The custom work on John’s “Scout 42” was done to highlight that legacy and give his bike an almost sport bike aesthetic, while not detracting from its core handling package.

Both bikes will be unveiled before the press on Thursday, December 11 at the Javits Center, and will be on display for the reminder of the 2015 IMS tour. Karlee and John will be signing autographs in the Indian Motorcycle exhibit on Friday from 2-3 p.m. and 6-7 p.m., and again on Saturday from 11 a.m. – Noon, 2-3 p.m. and 5-6 p.m.

“With a starting price of $10,999 and a perfect blend of power, balance, and handling that appeals to virtually every rider, we know the 2015 Indian Scout is the perfect holiday gift” said Steve Menneto, Vice President of Indian Motorcycle. “With the holidays fast approaching, we’re delighted to be in New York City sharing the affordable new Scout and the rest of our 2015 Indian Motorcycle lineup with our fans in the Big Apple.”

    I went to the local dealer to see a Scout. Was told after Christmas I could sit on one but not test ride.
    Most new bikes appear without such lavish hoopla, and my ardor is waning.

    RE:
    “… Was told after Christmas I could sit on one …”

    Nothing new about that.
    In the early 60’s when Italian lightweights (Capriolo, Benelli, Ducati, Gillera, etc.) were the rage, most of the dealers were hole-in-the-wall operations. Some only had one bike to show.

    I got my “egg-motor” Benelli from Syraki Motors in San Francisco, located in an ally off VanNess up by the Jack Tar Hotel. He had 3 bikes at the time 2 cafe racers and a scrambler. After he sold me mine he was left with 2. There was no test ride.

    In those days if you wanted a motorcycle you were expected to know what you looking for. The unwashed masses weren’t expected to apply, They were sent off to buy Honda 50’s

    Nicker,
    I’m from the same era..
    Those marques never rolled out wordwide mega campaigns of this scale.

    stsn, sounds like your dealer is making as much money as they want without lifting a finger. Same thing the H-D dealers were doing for years. You might want to check the Indian demo truck schedule. I went to a dealer who got a demo truck a couple months ago. Saw, touched, sat on, and rode them.

    Go see Karlee… she rocks!

    stsn,

    Well the point is:
    In that era NO “..marques never rolled out wordwide mega campaigns..” of any scale.

    But the they didn’t have to.

    Those who really wanted a motorcycle actually got of their buts and went looking for-em. Motorcycles weren’t yet a commodity and more to the point, motorcyclists weren’t impulses butt-candy shoppers.

    Just a reality check…… 🙂

    Arlen Ness had full on demonstrations at his store in Dublin, Ca just a few weeks ago, including test rides! He is a dealer and the man to see!
