I'd swear I've seen both numbers. For those fortunate enough to have your Scout, which number is it? Thanks.

One and only Scout in Switzerland so far reads est. 1901.
Hope they all be like that

Agreed. I hope that the Scout on the German website is just a pre-production, dumb marketing badge. Personally, I wish it were blank, there is way too much badging on this bike as it is. But supersizing motor displacement is completely bogus.

I personally can't really get worked up about 1200 vs est 1901 or nothing or lottery numbers.

I hope so too, mine is on its way to Finland...two more weeks...
Stupid people might even think that it means the size of the engine (1901 cm3)

 

[elrod]

Mine shows #1 LOL

 

[Kaj]

I can confirm, Finland also having est 1901...

I was at Hernley when 2 Scouts arrived for show. Out of the trailer, they had 1200 on them. The dealer had been waiting with new plates and the 1200 was quickly replaced with est 1901.

Other than nostalgia for the Indian est. date, is there any meaning behind the 1901 badges? I overheard that they symbolize a "special/limited edition" bike--any fact behind this theory?

1901 for the Burtland (New Zealand ) bikes. If it had 1200 on it and is a preproduction bike it should have, according the dealer sales guy, gone back to the States for destruction.

No! That was for the first 1901 Chiefs/Chieftains built, nothing to do with the Scout.
