Respected as one of the finest motorcycles to ever be manufactured at the famous Wigwam, home of the Indian Motocycle, the Series 101 Scouts were produced from 1928 through 1931 in both 37 cubic inch and 45 cubic inch engines. The 101 Scouts were both nimble and rugged, finding enthusiastic followers in all corners of the globe.
Credited to the development by Indian engineer, Charles B. Franklin, the Series 101 Indians were directly derived from the earlier Scouts but with many improvements. Most obvious was the new shorter frame which improved the handling of the motorcycle, making it popular with stunt riders. The shorter frame required a new gas tank which gave a more streamlined and modern appearance, along with the new fenders. The 101 also had new crankcases which used a stronger mounting at the front of the engine to secure it to cast lugs in the frame. The engine used a sidevalve configuration which was both durable and less expensive to manufacture.
