This was the Motorcycle Carburetor machine

This was the Motorcycle Carburetor machine that kept Indian dominant at the track and dueled against Harley-Davidson’s racing workhorse, the WR.

When Class C racing was born in the 1930s, Indian hit the ground running.

The Sport Scout’s practical design made it a natural for the consumer-friendly new racing category.

Sport Scouts ate up the competition like Jabba the Hutt at a Hometown Buffet.

Victories fell to them on speedways, half-miles, miles, and roadraces all over the country.

When Ed Kretz won the first Daytona 200 in 1937, a Sport Scout was the steed that carried him to victory.

This engine will also probably be used in other motorcycles from the Yamaha portfolio at a later stage.

BlueCore will eventually trickle down to all of Yamaha’s products.

An interesting fact that not many are aware of is that many of the technologies used in the current YZF-R15 are indeed part of BlueCore.

It was refined to be used in the FZ Fi range and thereafter in the scooters.

Yamaha says that the Saluto 125 has been doing well for the company with around 5,000 units sold in a  Carburetor float month.
