GESCHICHTE<\/strong>
\nTrotz der vielen Rennerfolge der Indian Sports Scout Modelle in den 30er und 40er Jahren beendete Indian diese Serie mit der Herstellung von nur 50 Exemplaren der 648 Daytona Sport Scout. Mindestens 50 Exemplare m\u00fcssen produziert werden um die Homologation (Zulassung) f\u00fcr diverse Rennen zu erlangen.<\/p>\n

Die Kurbelwellen Hubscheiben waren schmaler und aus Stahl und nicht mehr aus Gusseisen gefertigt. Die Nockenwellen wurden ge\u00e4ndert unter anderem auch, um die grosse Chief Aluminium \u00d6lpumpe anzutreiben. Die Kolben waren h\u00f6her und die Brennr\u00e4ume wurden modifiziert. Das Kurbelgeh\u00e4use hatte hinten einen angegossenen \u00d6lsumpf, was bei den Spezialisten den Namen \u201eBig Base\u201c einbrachte. Der Edison Rennmagnet wurde von der \u00d6lpumpe angetrieben.<\/p>\n

In der Indian Versuchsabteilung bauten drei Konstrukteure diese 50 \u201eBig Base\u201c Scouts und gewannen zweimal 1947 und 1948 das 200 Meilen Rennen von Daytona. F\u00fcr diese Langstreckenrennen wurden auch spezielle \u00d6ltanks wie bei der Harley WR konstruiert, um gen\u00fcgend \u00d6l und Benzin mitf\u00fchren zu k\u00f6nnen.<\/p>\n

1948 Indian Big Base Scout 45ci. Factory Racer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Experts say there were two batches of Big Base engines ever produced.  The initial batch was run before the war in 1939 and the 648 Big Base engines appeared in 1948.  In appearance, Big Base crankcases were similar to standard Sport Scout units.  The Indian \u201cBig Base\u201d Scout engine was a special race-only engine that incorporated some secrets learned on the track and put them in play for pre-World War II and early post War racing eras which kept Indian competitive against its rival, Harley Davidson.  The Scouts were ridden to many wins by Indian Wrecking Crew riders Bobbie Hill, Bill Tuman and Ernie Beckman. Earlier, in 1948, Floyd Emde won the Daytona 200 on a 648 Big Base. This very nice example has been in mine collection for over 30 years and sports an original 648 Big Base motor, light weight Racing frame, Edison magneto, Good Year tires and Flanders style handlebars. This bike will be a headliner in any motorcycle collection or would be a front runner in any vintage dirt track race, such as the popular „Race of the Gentlemen“ or Vintage Road Race !<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Diese 648 \u201eBig Base\u201c ist eine von nur 50 gebauten Daytona Sport Scout und sicher die Einzige in der Schweiz. Das Motorrad ist zum Teil erstlackiert. Diese Indian Rennmaschine liessen den Harleys keine Chancen mehr, die bis anhin die Rennszene dominierten.<\/p>\n
