I agree 100 percent I rode a little 125cc honda monkey for a year and I just got my 2023 indian scout Rouge some people said 100 horsepower 1133cc's was going to be to much to go straight into but I was able to get used to the power quick and it handles amazing and has all the power I could ever ask for. Everytime I twist the throttle I smile!

Ive had a Scout Bobber Twenty for about 2 years. Its beautiful, fast, and fun. I always get compliments and I love that vintage look. I had to do some upgrades to have a better ride. The factory seat sucks so I replaced it with one with more cushion. I replaced the headlight for an LED one. Its much brighter now. I replaced the factory pipes with Van Hines pipes. This baby roars now. Those are some good basic starter upgeades. Next i might replace the shocks to give it a smoother ride. Some people complain about not having a fuel gage. I just fill up the bike and reset the Trip Meter. I refill with gas once i reach around 110 miles and do it again. Its a great bike at great price.

What kind of gas mileage do you get? 110 Miles on 3 gallons of gas is really bad. I get 200 Miles per 3 gallons of gas. I almost bought the scout, glade I didn't.

Picking up bobber 20 all black next week, this matt silver is gorgeous too. Beautifully built bike, engine looks like piece of art.

Did my research for almost a year. Finally got mine last week. Would accept nothing but the Scout Bobber.

How’s it been so far?

I have a 22 bobber 20. Luggage rack, messenger bag and Tailgunner 357's for exhaust. I love it as a second bike. I have a 21 Challenger DH as my primary. The Scout is the most bullet proof bike Indian makes, I guess because it's not all electronics. Just a basic fun bike. Definitely recommend 👌 👍

A great video. Very very comprehensive. You put a lot of energy and effort into this video. And it shows. We all benefit from it. So, thank you. !!

I'm a new rider and I bought a 22 Twenty. It's a great to learn on I Ifeel the power . It just wants to go . It made me nervous at first, but you get used to it . Just have to be careful and you will be fine. The dealership I bought the bike from already changed out the exhaust with V&H slip-ons. They also changed the suspension and added an LED. So I was good to go from the beginning. Not sure how hot it gets because it's winter and I just got it in December. I'm in Jersey so it's cold. It also has a USB port on the instrument cluster. One of my cons is the radiator cover. It doesnt sit flush and looks kinda cheesy. Also aftermarket parts are pretty hard to find and are pricey. Dean Speed Customs has great quality Scout parts, so I don't mind paying. I was looking at Harleys but just couldnt pull the trigger because of looks . The Nightsters exhaust is an eyesore and looks more like a sports bike. Why would they kill the sporsters? Anyway, great honest reviews. Keep it up!!

I love my Harleys. But, I love the Indians as well. I never rode an Indian, but the looks of most are timeless. The Chief Classic was always my favorite with the leather fringed bags and oversized front fender. Maybe one day I will have an Indian to have both my favorites in the garage.

I’m not a fan of all the friends stuff they use on the classic but to each their own. You should do a test ride though for sure 🤘🏻

I owned a '17 Victory Octane and did many upgrades to it as follows: Updated rear shocks, updated front forks, Mean City Cycles seat re-work, Two Brothers exhaust with Vic Shop dyno tune, Michelin tires. Bike was outstanding but due to a bad hip I needed mid contols and none were available. I would consider the Indian if mid contols, upgraded suspension. Nice bike!

Awesome history lesson, never knew what spawned the styling. I love the old school looks.

I have a 2021 Scout Bobber Twenty. I have the syndicate 2 up seat. I'm adding the forward foot control extensions for a little more comfort. I love it. It's insane quick and sick.

I have the ISB and I swapped out that atrocious stock seat for the slightly less-atrocious “comfort” seat….they lied. I then sprung for a Corbin and that was a game changer. Then changed out the rear shocks with the SuperShox specifically engineered for the ISB. Big change. Love the bike. Great video.

I was at a Harley dealer yesterday because I was looking at their nightster. I test rode the nightster special (the one with the touch screen and heated grips) which has an msrp of 15000. They said it would be likely in the late teens after freight and dealer fees. The nightster standard is about 1500 less but no touchscreen and heated grips. Point is those motorcycles are gonna run you well over 15 grand for what is now Harleys “entry level” motorcycles. I went to an Indian dealer in Annapolis, MD today and saw their Scouts were in the 13-14 grand range more or less with the scout 60s in the 12s or so. I think they should keep the scouts right where they are if they want to attract people who are getting into riding and want an American cruiser. If they start adding cruise control, ride modes and ride command these things are gonna be chiefs lite instead of scouts

Bro! I m new to your channel and happy I found it. Makes me wish I was back in the States. I almost thought you were in Texas somewhere but I've never been to the Carolinas. Reminds me of home. I went to the local motorcycle show here in Erfurt Germany and I fell in love with some of the bikes Indian had to offer. Unfortunately I didn't get to sit on the Scout bobber. Looks sexy but I would prefer more useability that comes with the FTR. Im subscribed! Your vids got me hangering for that southern lifestyle. Keep 'em coming!

I live in SC and yes we have some very shitty roads. Even when they patch the pot holes it's bad. They can't seem to get them close to level and before long the patch material starts to crumble. It doesn't help that people in the big trucks don't try to avoid them, which makes them degrade even faster. The worst is when it's raining and the holes fill up with water. It can be difficult to see them until it's too late.

Great video, highlights all the stuff this bike does well

I am seriously considering trading in my 07 softail for this bike.

I been considering one of these or a Triumph bobber, still undecided, thanks for the great review

Love this bike. Don’t understand why people throw saddlebags and batwing fairings on them. To each their own…

The Scout is due for a upgrade it's been nearly unchanged since it's 2015 rebirth. Seen Indian renewed the 101 name so we shall see. Would love a Scout Bobber 101(Sport). Some modern tech cruise control mainly, some more power, upgraded front forks. Great review and will be awesome when your on a Indian full time.

I learned from my Indian dealer rep that adding cruise control adds a lot to the price tag. I don't remember the dollar amount, but it would put it near Chief price for that one feature. Which explains the price of the Chief!

@@ZildjianMan30 was just at an Indian dealer today and the price of the brand new scouts (msrp plus freight costs and whatnot) were in the 14000s range.

You are right about that loud "clunk" sound when you put a Harley in first gear. I try to light tap the shifter on my Road King for fun to see if that diminishes it. Nope! Lol. This Bobber reminds me of the new Nightsters that replaced the Sportster and a cross with the first V-Rods of the 2000s.

Would this be a good starter bike? I kinda wanna start ridding and I love the look of the scout bobber 20

I have a Scout Bobber 20 and I think it's a tossup between a suspension upgrade or an exhaust upgrade as the First Mod most people get. I'm not that picky when it comes to the exhaust so I got the performance Fox Shocks first. They really smooth out the ride and the add an extra inch of travel to boot. I am many mods in by now, and distance isn't really an issue for me, although I might break down and get a windscreen, maybe a fly screen. And it's a great 1st bike, I've been loving it!

The only update this motorcycle needs is the Sport Chief treatment: Inverted KYB Front forks, Dual Brembo Brakes, Longer Travel Fox Rear Shocks

Just put a deposit on one of these I am so pumped. Get it mid august

Thank you for your Honest Review

I haven't had a bike w/ ride mode? Cruise control makes sense, but I'm not sure I get the appeal of ride mode. Likewise I prefer the simpler analog dash. I have a bluetooth helmet and use my phone for directions/music. What seat do you recommend? What's the range? 100-120 miles?

I've been looking into getting this bike but the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger on it is the fact it doesn't come with cruise control which makes no sense to me since the chief bobber does have it

Can you put passenger seat on it or not?

Heg, I am a 48 yea old returning rider (Naked streets in late 90's early 2000's) I am looking at a scout bobber 20 for my return bike to commute. I am in North Augusta, SC so I could use in most of the year. Could this be a good commuter? 6 ft 230 lb will it look small under me like Sportster s (Sportser S looks like a toy bike when I tested)?

Can't wait for the 101

Do they still have those annoying neutral assist things like the Victory?

Why couldn’t you fit a set of mini apes and a single seat to a Rogue? I don’t carry pillions. I like the styling of this bike very much. My other thought is giving a Harley XS Sportster the Bobber treatment. Your thoughts?

Nah, digital instrumentation, LED headlight and the seat from the rouge on the Twenty. On the standard you should loose the digital instrumentation and in the sixty the headlight.

It’s a gas station scout. Always looking for gas. Do not buy if you have a bad back. If you want a bad back, buy one. I commute 20 miles 1 way on mine. Have to gas every 2 or 3 days.
