Today in motorcycle history, January 12, 2012


  






  At the 2012 Las Vegas Premier Motorcycle Auction a rarely seen Indian Scout "Junior" sells for $11,424.






  Unusual and rare compared to its big brother the more plentiful 45' Scout. This 1940 500cc "Junior" Scout was a good example of the smaller model. The bike was auctioned as 'complete and running'. This sweet bar-hopper is a definite head turner. 

  The 30.50' motor can cruise at 45mph but it has never been known to see the brighter side of 55mph. As one Indian aficionado was quoted as saying, "It'a great little bike but it can't pull the skin off a grape."
