The Indian Scout 741 was used by the US Army, though the 500cc V-Twin was never good enough to beat out Harley’s WLA as the Army’s bike of choice. Instead it was used primarily by couriers and scouts. Here’s one that has shed its’ military background in the process of becoming a flat track racer.
This bike (VIN: DN98418) was taken in on a trade by an individual who ran an Indian motorcycle dealership in Bluefield, WV. He then turned this into a flat tracker in the 50s but never got a chance to race it. It was restored in 2012 but then sat for over a year. The seller notes that while the bike is in great condition, it’s missing dampers on the front girder forks.
