Indian Scout FTR750

The Indian Scout FTR750 is a competition-only motorcycle engine made by Indian Motocycle Manufacturing Company for flat track racing. It is a fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, four-valve-per-cylinder V-twin.[1] It appears to have a chain-driven, double-overhead-camshaft design.[2] A single-pin crankshaft riding on plain bearings carries side-by-side steel connecting rods.[3] It is the first all-new flat track racing motor from Indian Motorcycle in decades.
