Got this in my email this morning.
My bad. Thanks for placing the new link Ferret.
Cant see anything there but they are reporting it on MC daily

100 horses, 74 ft lbs of torque, $10,999. That should be a heck of a bike. Only holds 3.3 gal of gas though and I thought a Scout might be more standard with foot peg placement. Should kick a Sportsters butt though (and maybe a CB 1100s too)
First cruiser I've seen that actually appeals to my senses. Indian will sell all of these they can produce. At that weight and power figure, will be a real hot rod. The price is right also.
They have different options for the foot pegs it seems. For those with short legs or those with long legs.
I registered for the scout giveaway. As if I stand a chance but at least I am in the pool...

The new scout appears to be really good on paper. But from a price standpoint I'm thinking this can effect Victory.
Looks pretty slick! Interesting choice to go liquid cooled, I'd say that's atypical of an American cruiser, or even most cruisers in general. But that's how you get the extra HP out of it while keeping the weight down, I suppose. Also it makes a really big contrast between modern and classic on the looks.
I like it! If I was going to buy a cruiser, this might be the first thing on my list.
The huge radiator would be the deal breaker for me and probebly alot of other people too.Fugly! I will keep my air cooled Vstar 1100 and my DLX thank you.
The radiator shroud does need some work. Made from aluminum as is the plate where the shocks mount, it would be easy to powder coat these two items black to match the frame thus pulling them into the bike and making them less noticeable. Other than this one gripe the Scout looks pretty good and the price and performance will be way ahead of the competition.
Nice. I'm hoping this economy keeps building steam so the makers keep bringing new models!
I would dispute the claim that the engine is "visually stunning". I think the CB1100 engine is a real fine thing to look at, and the engine on the Indian Chief line is pleasing to the eye. The blocky thing on the scout looks unfinished to me.
