The classic looks really cool and you can not get the limited plus tech packages to keeo the price down but imo i might savenup and get it just because i like the gps built in and realistically you could go the distance on these things so uncle sams sattalite gps being built in is really good

Every time Brandon thinks he's out of the new bike review game, THEY PULL HIM RIGHT BACK IN!!! I for one am profusely happy that the first hands on I've seen was yours, nobody could have done it better: All show, no tell, every piece of information you couldn't get from pictures and didn't want to read perfectly edited and scored to boot! This is ART, man, you and whoever edits your vids have a gift and I thank you for sharing it. The big old power button on the side made me crack up. It's perversely futuristic, a DX salute to "classic" looking modern engine designs, and I kinda love it. I wish there was more rear travel, I always wish there was more rear travel but the shocks are adjustable so I can probably crank them up and make the most of it... I want to be mad at them for not going farther, but this is a mint of a bike and I'd love to thrash one!

Very sharp redesign, appreciate that it’s a ground up new bike but still “looks” like the scout we all know and love!

Nobody does a review like you do. It was like hearing an old favorite song again from my childhood. Warm and comfortable, instant smile and memories.

All chaos, but I’m all for these kind of rides. Just not making it the focus. I only get these opportunities once a year. You’d be waiting till next year if this was my only shindig.. ya dig?

The new gauge is definitely tempting for a trade

I originally wanted the scout bobber...then I saw the M109R...then I found your KZread channel, and then Indian comes out with this Scout 101... I dunno what I want now...guess I'll keep living vicariously through your channel. Lol

Brandon I've been following your channel since before you had your spill on your scout. I know your channel has changed direction a bit since then but I've always looked forward to your reviews cuz you've always had an excellent way with words compared to a lot of other KZreadrs and I really enjoy listening to you talk about motorcycles I was a big fan of when you had the victories as well so I'm really looking forward to these updates with this new scout and you are impressions of them kudos

I LOVE everything about this 101! Living vicariously through you Brandon. 😊

Love your work Bicasso!

Great video! I like that you got those real close up shots of the bike.

This Scout looks more substantial than the previous version. I have always love the Scout since Polaris brought Indian back out. I felt it was a great motorcycle. And each version was great. I can’t say enough about how this version has been punched up. Fantastic job Indian.

I almost bought a Sportster S until I finally decided on my 23 Chief. But this 101 I would definitely buy.

Totally updated and modern look of an old school work horse. The info cluster is awesome and the overall lines of the bike borrows some aesthetics from the previous model years. For me, it doesn’t look as beastly and I am not sold on that particular color scheme. However, everything ties together “nicely” except for the sound of the exhaust! In my opinion, it sounds “tame” and I couldn’t hear that “growl” or throaty sound that is Indian! I guess as more information is released, my opinion will change. Great work B.B., I can’t wait for your full review. 🙏🏾✌🏾

Looking forward to the ride impressions

Man I'm digging this bike. It's expensive but dang one of best oooki g bikes out and they've added the features the bike needed, cruise control and the goods to help justify the price.

They finally have cruise control! Only thing I wish I had on my ‘19 bobber. Taking those 2+ hour long trips once a month was a pain without something like that. Can’t wait to get my hands on the new line up!

Absolutely Stunning Machine 😍!!!, No doubt My favorite Cruiser 👍!!!

The Rogue and the Sport Chief fell in love and had a baby. Looks and sounds good. I'd trade my Rogue for one.

What a beauty!

Perfect right out of the box. Doesn't need a thing.

To be honest, the only reason I asked like the scouts is because of you and your videos. But this one actually look a bit more sportier than the previous versions. The painting design on this bike is very nice. It seems the scouts are getting better every year.

Working Fam. You know how I get down.

It’s definitely an upgrade. I have a 2019 Scout that I paid off, put some Crusher pipes and a nice pair of ends cuoio leather saddlebags on it and it’s killer. I’ll ride it till it dies and then look into the 101. In the next couple years I want to get either a Roadmaster or Springfield but I’ll always have a Scout.

So happy to see they put the superior FTR switch gear on it, ergonomics are so much better.

love this bike.

Scout 101 is beautiful! I’d throw in mid controls, some pullback on my risers, and a good exhaust. Thats it.

Wow that’s a nice bike

Even if its true that not much has really changed in this lineup like some of the other motorcycle channels are saying the new fit and finish on this bike in particular is super trick and sexy. What a wonderful toy it must be :) Love that paint job too and the engine....wow!

There’s carry over parts between the previous Gen but it’s a different attitude overall. A lot of little stuff that’s been changed to make the experience better. I had to speak with an engineer to get some of that info. If they haven’t gotten their hands on it, no idea what they’re talking about.

Looks like it's got all the tech

It looks great, it seems bigger than the previous model.

I could, but you wouldn't hear it.

Thanks for the video! The new Indian Motorcycle Scout 101 oozes quality, it seems very well thought out and well designed. What a machine. I'm going to trade my Springfield Dark Horse for one like this. As for the Sport Scout... Nothing is tougher than that machine. A proper street bike tough as hell. And then there is the Bobber... Ah bobber- is where you start building that Custom machine, the Bobber is just cool, and Scout Classic very refined, very elegant. It makes me happy that Indian Motorcycle has exactly that Scout in the range.Very classic. I like it! When it comes to the Super Scout, it is probably the most practical machine straight from the floor and out the door. It is perhaps the one you should have chosen, but perhaps you didn't choose. Nope, you end up slapping the extra equipment on another model (bobber/Classic) then they cost you "twice as much"... Best to think about this a bit. - But that 101, I feel like I really want it. Looking forward to the next videos.

No cylinder deactivation on Scout. Option isn’t in ride command

Judging by how many times I’ve watched 101 videos over and over, I’m pretty confident this will be my next bike (I prefer the white one however). My only real hang up is the engine is so much prettier on the Chief. So…, I could see going that way as well. They don’t have any of the ‘25s near me yet but there’s going to be a Bobber for viewing on the 7th in a few days. Planning to go check it out.

After watching the launch video and this first look, I really like everything Indian did with the Scout. I like the flexible option packages, the quoted specs, and the clean lines. And yet... they don't excite me to the point of making a financially unwise decision. My first thoughts were, in this order: 1) oh look, they gave Scout the Chief treatment, 2) I wonder if there's going to be any good deals on '23 Scouts, and 3) I get Polaris putting money into the big sellers, but I'm still a little sad the R&D budget went here instead of putting the tech package into the SDH. Nice lookin' bike, though. I'm looking forward to your ride review!

I do love the paint design and where they placed the red. I ride a CSC custom Chieftan Trike. My wife rides the Scout Rogue.. It is a nice bike for her. I definitely need a bigger bike. This looks to dainty for me..but love the paint.

Beautiful, looks amazing. Only problem is it’s left hand drive 😂😂😂😂

This is what the Octane should've been. Glad they have mid controls as an option from the factory.

I've a Scout here in the UK. I was really looking forward to the new version but I'm nowhere near as hyped about it now I've seen them. Do they look good - yeah but here's what I'm seeing that'd annoy me to live with: - The TFT speedo - why a touchscreen? You're going to have to take off gloves every time you want to tweak or change modes (I know you can use the thumb controls but still) - An 'ON' button instead of key? I love my Scout because its so mechanical and true to its roots. The engine mount key is one of my favourite elements of the bike. - The bike now has the plastic centre tank piece where the filler cap should be? Why not route the airbox elsewhere so you've got a central filler cap. Looks weird off to one side - The engine is less of a centre piece than it was before with the billet / chrome accents and heads. I like black on black but the engine seems lost in the new frame Just my 2p

would take this one as a base and make a nice scout bobber out of it

Good looking Bike...H-D better Step up, Cause Polaris is killin it with this Bik

Damn that is a good looking bike, and could be even more with some modifications but first, them pipes need to go, and some paint changes too.

Great that you have the option of mid foot controls with these new scouts. Harley should offer OPTIONS on FOOT CONTROLS... I sat on the Sportster S and it should have mid or rear foot controls. I like that the Indian New standard bobber because it has a lot less electronic "Bells and Whistles". Indian liquid cooling like the Triumph bobber both you do not see the radiator so much... good on all these NEW scouts. less electronic "Bells and Whistles" on the standard bobber will do it for me. nice review.

It looks cool. I need to ride one, to see the similarities between that and the normal scout. I rode one, and it was too small for me.
