Man it’s good !! Quick too. So it’s enjoyable with a modern level of speed ! Now a days 100hp on a heavier machine is about a standard

Fell in love with the Rogue from the first time I saw one and then had one a few weeks later. It is a blast to ride and I get out on it every chance I can. Good review and video!

They are good man. This was the first Indian I have ever ridden and I think it was good. From the guys that worked there. They are using victory designs on the modern Indians instead of self competing they are essentially blending what they feel is the best of both.

Nice video. 1/4 mile for both bikes are actually quite close. Sportster S just has no curb appeal. Just my 2 cents.

Really digging the scout rogue/sport! Id like to test ride one and a bobber to see which is a better fit, but i feel like the rogue/sport is set up better for someone a little taller.

Yes you are correct I have ridden both and the bars make a big difference for taller riders. I would encourage you to maybe wait 2-3 weeks and go check out the 2025 scout line up. It should be in dealers by then.

Good review video! I feel like you didn’t really ring it out, with a red line around 8k, it really wakes up after 3300 rpm. It is a screamer! I agree on the RPM gauge, it should be standard (but is available). I agree on the comparison to the Sportster S. When your riding position is that different, it feels different before you even get into the engine capability. It will be interesting to see if Indian addresses that with a sporty package with mid controls or rear sets with the new Scout.

@NostalgicMotorcycles

It’s a brand new bike I can say I did not fully ring it out as the bike is not even fully broken in but I did get to full throttle and revd it to about 7k so I was close. Thank you very much for the feedback I’m glad you enjoyed it !! Seriously means a lot. I do not think the new scout will compare still. Honeslty aside from being short the sportster S has a neo cafe esc vib (I know it’s not) but it really doesn’t check the cruiser box like the scout does. The scout it more comfortable over time and can be dressed a little better for longer rides. I feel as the SS is like a muscle cruiser more about power than comfort.

Love mine. Even has the same color tank.

@NostalgicMotorcycles

Not bad same bike, different engine. I would think with your height and weight you should go for the 1100. You’re going to want to extra power down the line. They will both handle slow speed the same. But you obviously have to be comfortable in yourself. If you are I think the 60 will be disheartening in a few months given your size.

The new Scouts debut April 24. Meanwhile I have one and I can give you two absolute necessary upgrades; an LED headlight and some aftermarket rear shocks, such as Progressive 444s. I suggest you roll those two into the purchase. Indian makes piggyback shocks for about $1000 but I think the aftermarket ones are better. Be careful on aftermarket exhausts as these Scouts get real loud. Consider using a 1 inch hole saw to cut out the first baffles in the stock pipes. You can see that on a KZread video. You can go from there.

@NostalgicMotorcycles

Dude awesome feedback ! I actually use progressive springs in my magna and they are solid for sure ! Obviously different bike but I know the brand. And loud isn’t a problem for me 😜😜

I bought a used 21 Scout ABS with 1300 miles on it and so far have put about 3k on it and here's my take. If money is no object, disregard and do what you want. Otherwise listen up: Test ride multiple times before making your decision. If the bike fits as is, great. I preferred the classic version over the Rogue or Bobber. For most riders, they need to make a few mods. to get it "right". I personally would never pay over 10K for a Scout unless all my requirements have already been done. I'm 6 ft. 220lb. and my first long Texas backroads ride had me hating this bike and wanting to sell it. The rear shocks/seat were terrible.( I only test rode it maybe 5 miles) Mine had the "fastback" type seat with the stupid metal bracket that hits the tailbone. Here's what I've done that now makes my 9995.00 bike a 13k bike. LOL 1 - Memphis Shades / Gauntlet and Road Warrior fairing 2 - Progressive 444 rear shocks - 3 turns in on pre load 3 - Extended reach oem black handlebars 4 - Barnett Clutch cable 5 - Kuryakyn Mini floor boards 6 - Extended reach seat / just installed Mustang MEE saddle 7 - Indian LED headlight 8 - Custom Dynamics LED black turn signals 9 - Vans grips 10 - Dean Speed forward control bracket - on order 11 Dean Speed 22" sissy bar - on order / for extra 12 - Bassani 3" slip ons 13 - Indian upgraded air intake / ECU reflash 14 - Joker Machine bar end mirrors/levers I honestly went from hating this bike due to the stock shocks (yes I adjusted the preloads) and the seat. Now that I've spend a few thousand dollars to "get it right", I couldn't imagine paying retail of 13-15K and doing all these upgrades. That's why my recommendation would be to buy used. The Scouts are not complicated with electronics and are pretty reliable and there a lots of them on the used market.

Thank you ! That’s awesome feedback for a larger rider in a smaller bike. 2 things. A larger cruiser for you might have saved that for you but 2 I would say regardless of the price you pay most stock bikes are not perfect for most people as everyone prefers different things and are sized/shaped different. But again awesome feedback I would not be able to provide as don’t have extensive miles on the bike nor is it mine to modify. What would you think about a segment where I talk about what I personally would change to have the bike fit me better ?

My man. When you put an intake, 2 into 1 and a llyods tune. Its a totally different beast. I have the 78 hp scout 60 and i can take 2nd gear to 75 mph if need be lol.

Haha well I own a sportster S so that can speak for itself. I am different though as I enjoy the speed aspect over the comfort cruiser. If your looking for a faster bike it’s sportster s, if your looking for a more comfortable bike the scout takes it for sure. I love the term muscle cruiser. Vmax, vrod. More power focused less comfort. That’s more along the line of my interest over a standard cruiser. Now Having only 1 of the 2 options no other bikes. I think the scout is the better all arounder to take those miles. It’s a better single bike. The sportster s makes sense when you own it with other bikes. I have a comfortable long distance cruiser in the form of my Magna. So the scout would be having 2 bikes that serve the same purpose. The sportster for me is the faster play cruiser for short fun rides. The magna pounds the miles.
