INDIAN SCOUT BOBBER 'JACK DANIEL'S EDITION'
The Jack Daniel's Edition of the Indian Scout Bobber is one of the most striking black Indian motorcycle builds ever made, a limited run that pays tribute to the fire brigade that keeps the famous distillery safe. For the third straight year Indian Motorcycle teamed up with Jack Daniel's, and this time the Scout Bobber took center stage, blending matte black paint, glossy black accents and real 24k gold detailing into a machine that looks every bit as collectible as it is.
What makes this matte black Indian Scout Bobber special?
The standard Scout Bobber serves as the base, with its strong V-twin engine providing the drive. The customization layers a matte black finish against glossier black and 24k gold accents, a combination that suits the Bobber perfectly, plus the unmistakable Jack Daniel's logos. According to Indian Motorcycle's official announcement, the design draws on the gold and black fire trucks of the Jack Daniel's Fire Brigade, and the two-tone matte black paint was a first for the brand.
How many were made, and what did it cost?
The Indian Scout Bobber Jack Daniel's Edition is limited to just 177 pieces, a number that nods to the Old No. 7 brand, and it started at roughly 14,000 EUR (about 16,999 USD). As Cycle News reported, each bike shipped with a commemorative fireman's axe engraved with the owner's name and build number, and a numbered Montana Silversmiths badge finished in 24k gold. The whole run sold out in under ten minutes.
What is it like to ride?
Our time aboard the Bobber was more of a photo opportunity than a full test ride, so this is not a complete review, but in those brief moments we got pretty well acquainted with it. The partnership between Indian Motorcycle and Jack Daniel's, tied together by Klock Werks Kustom Cycles, clearly reflects a lot of careful work, and it shows in every gold-flecked detail.
Where to find a black custom motorcycle like the Scout Bobber
The Jack Daniel's Scout Bobber sold out years ago, but if you love a blacked-out custom cruiser, TheArsenale's motorcycles collection is full of hand-built machines in the same spirit. Look at the Triumph Bonneville Bobber 1200 by Unikat, the menacing BW Honda CB1000R Black Edition, the Honda GL500 Black Beauty, and the Harley-Davidson Fat Bob 114 by Nash Motorcycles.
