I am still interested in the Indian Scout. Never seen one though. Houston must have some around, somewhere.
Maybe Victory will make a street legal version of this (engine derived from the Scout engine):
Could you set the bar any lower?

The Madura's absence in this discussion is conspicuous. Don't embolden it.
Pics from link!
And allowed to have an opinion.
At least they didn't call it something *really* weird like... stone.
It seems a lot of V7 fans really don't like the V9. I think that's good news for Guzzi. Why on earth would they build another motorbike that appeals to "exactly" the same customer type? Keep your V7, or buy a new one! That's fine. This bike is aimed at a different target group, and that doesn't mean it's a cruiser. I don't care for cruisers. This is a standard, and I like the term "roadster". It's a great addition to the line up.
I can't understand the comments about the design being similar to the Nevada at all. I completely agree with KevM's post about that. The original Nevada looked like it was bent in the middle! Even back in the 80s I wouldn't have entertained owning one (no offence to any Nevada owners, tastes differ). But the V9 has a really nice visible frame line running straight from front to back.
As unattractive as I find the new V9,( and I was being kind w/ the initial Nevada provocation), comparing it to a Suzuki Madura is unforgivable. Nothing ever has been as hideous as the Suzuki Madura. ( see picture. Non functional Bolted on cooling fins that are aligned vertically)
