One correction: this is the 2025 lineup, not 2024... Anyway, love the Classic!

I see alot of hate in the Comments, but im NOT in that Camp, i Actually Like the '25 Bobber. Bigger Motor, Bigger Tank, Fuel Gauge, big Display with Modes Now, and an LED Headlight Standard. Only Issue will be what older Models drop in Price to Now. If you can get a Bobber for like $10k or the 60 for $8k compared to the New One at $15k, will come down to is $5k WORTH the Upgrades.

Nice looking machines. Look forward to actually hearing them someday.

My shop posted about them earlier. Good looking bikes. But my heart's set on a rocket 3 storm.

Did a good job on the exhaust. Much better than the Sportster. There should be some decent aftermarket exhausts available.

I am new to motorcycles but the scout has everything I have been looking for!

If that 101 came out when I got my Sportster S it would’ve been one hell of a tough decision

What brand are the shocks?

Does the scout classic able to dress it up such side bags and passenger seat with sissy back on quick release? Also does the classic also have the new 1250 cc engine!

Pleased with the improvements especially the 101. Going to 1250 higher compression and 111 HP to put them on par with the Sporster S was needed. I love the 2-1 pipe over the 2-2s. I like the improved engine look also. Better more usable bike than the Sporster S.

what about lean angle? That was a huge complaint on the earlier models? I really like the two into one exhaust; looks great. The adjustable piggyback shocks seems a nice upgrade the earlier models needed. Are they still doing the Rogue option? Hard to tell in the photos in this video as they show different front wheels and fairings but don't talk about which model gets those.

The 101 looks pretty nice

So no more rogue? Is that the sport version now? Also fuel gauge is the best thing out of this like up. Not a big fan of the single pipe or the new heads finish.

It is different enough that you could justify it as an advancement in the model. Tbh I didn’t expect them to completely change it

They answered my wish list and then some, so props for that. But the saddle bags still don't have a lock on them, the same complaint I had about the Chief Limited. It makes them useless. No spoke wheels on the Bobber any longer. In the roll out video, they exclaimed the larger gas tank. Is 1/10 of a gallon increase worth the fanfare? The new/old (Victory Octane) motor is very plain, and modern looking. I would love all the modern amenities on my Scout Bobber 20, but the redesign is leaving me a bit cold.

You can get a dealership tune on any new scout and get 111hp just like the 101 scout.

Ive been waiting for scouts to get this.

Man I'm Glad I Got A 2021. Have Not Liked Anything They've Done Since Then. Traction Control Would Be Nice But I Hate The Digital Speedometer

Does the scout 101 remind anyone of the Harley Davidson Street Rod 750 from back in 2017-2020? I know the power isn’t the same or the gauge cluster but many of the other features remind me of the Street Rod. It would have been nice if HD kept making those, it would give the 101 competition and maybe have brought the price down a bit. I think if they kept making the street rod they would have many of the same features that are on the 101. I do like the new scout lineup but I think the price is just a bit too high for an entry into the Indian world of motorcycles.

Are these new high High Horsepower Scouts able to run faster than 100 MPH or is the speed limiter set at 100 MPH ?

Those bikes looks good, I wish I can get one! Where is the Time Machine at I need to take 30 years off my body!

Indian 101 scout or HD sportster S 1250?

I nearly bought a new old Scout and had dreams of adding a Freedom 2-1 exhaust, Pathfinder headlight, extra lights, comfort seat, beach bars and the dealer didn’t even tell me there was a new one coming out in early April, so I waited. From what I see there’s a big price increase as who the hell would just buy a Limited + Tech their top of the line and see it loose a good few grand if they tray and off load it a year later. We get $ price but it’s in £’s…… I might aswell get a Chief and pay £20k and customise it slowly.

Reminds me of the Honda family of 1100 line. You had the Areo,the classic the saber the Phantoms etc etc. Do theses new one make the older ones obsolete?

I love Harley and Indian, but Harley needs to copy Indian's notes when it comes to making a liquid-cooled engine that still sounds great.

The “Indian Scout Classic” looks more like the original 101 Scout, than the new 101 scout.

porque no inventan un accessories que puedas agregar más gasolina para correr largas distancias 3.5 es muy poco

Where the wild things are

Great new design, looks nothing like the old design if you get into the weeds. Engine, frame, tech, sheet metal etc. the engine design is so much cleaner than HD’s half assed attempt at a water cooled engine. The clutch side of the Sportster is hideous!

101 looks great but failed on price! Why doesn't Indiana offer a adventure bike yet?

Don't really like all the additional plastic covering things up. Never liked the license plate off to the side of the fender. Personally, a 60 cubic inch motor is enough for me. Guess I can get one on the cheap when these are released.

The new 101 is indeed a beautiful machine alright, however not being a fan of forward foot controls and especially so on higher-performance motorcycles meant for more sporting purposes (read: bikes meant to be ridden on twisting roads at higher speeds) I wish the foot controls on it had been placed more in the mid-position. This then would of course have meant the seat would have needed to be a few inches higher in order for the rider's knees not being uncomfortably bent, however in my case and with a 34 inch inseam, I've never cared about a bike having that low a seat height to begin with. And yes, I do understand that these bikes are considered "Power Crusiers", but still the idea that Indian doesn't seem to offer a variant of their new 101 Scout with more a "Standard" riding position seems a shame to me and thus lessens my interest in ever purchasing one. --Dwight in Arizona/owner of 2016 Indian Springfield, 2002 Triumph Bonneville, 1970 Triumph Bonneville

Still needs a much bigger gas tank.

They look better this year. At least they don't all look like they were sprayed from stem to stern with a rattle can of black paint in shop class this year.

If this new platform is successful, I’m trading the Nightster I just got. For those that claim it has no soul, you have to give the bike it’s soul. It’s always just an object to someone else.

I just need one ride mode... the "performance mode." Program the motorcycle to operate at peak efficiency and leave it alone. The throttle is plenty capable of managing the application of power. Those bikes have too many techy gimmicks to be appealing. If they wanted a performance oriented 101, they should have tuned everything for maximum performance and stripped all the touch screen, ride mode, GPS, keyless start, bluetooth stuff off the bike (added bonus, it might have shed another 30 lbs of crap off the bike). If it doesn't make the motorcycle go faster or handle better, then it should have been tossed in the waste bin. I don't need overly complicated menu systems that will read you your daily affirmations... Just make the bike reliable, and limit the troubleshooting decision tree something that will fit on one 8.5x11 sheet of paper. If I got stranded due to a keyfob not being recognized by the bike because the touch screen Speedo/GPS/Bluetooth/Satellite Radio/Call Connect unit glitched because of the heat from being in direct sunlight, vibration, dust, or water, I would be pissed.
