Not a big fan of radiators on "naked" bikes either, BUT yeah, IF this bike IS water-cooled and that radiator ISN'T some attempt to camouflage this design from the press, then I have to say I think they did a very good job in incorporating that radiator into the overall design of this bike, and as just Rich earlier stated how the new Indian Scout's radiator is well integrated into its overall design.

AND, of course I like the look of those fins in that engine too, but no shock THERE here, right guys?!

(...and btw Ian...please tell me how any water-cooled motorcycle's radiator could be removed from it "at the owner's discretion" and still operate within its designed operational heat range, and even WITH those fins on this bike???...sorry, but THAT one REALLY stumped me here ol' buddy, as it is highly inadvisable to even remove the OIL-cooler on OUR machines, ya know!)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
