Scout looks just amazing with that unmistakeable presence when it shows up.

i've had bought the Indian Scout Bobber last Friday as my first Motorcycle. I also had a look at the Rebel, but even if it is cheaper and possibly technically superior, it is the feeling that counts for me when I see and ride this beautiful motorcycle.

I have the Rebel 1100 DCT and I love it. If I were do again, I would pick the Honda.

As a Rebel 1100DCT owner, I absolutely love the Indian and their looks. The closest Indian Dealership is over 2 hours from me however. Plus, that DCT is such an unbeatable option for me. I work in IT and suffer from Carpal Tunnel frequently in my left hand. So being able to ride without having to squeeze a clutch in the event of a flair up is a god send allowing me to be able to ride more. But if I had the money and a close enough dealer, I would totally buy an Indian Scout as a secondary bike. For me, to have to choose between, the Rebel 1100 takes the cake with it's features, price and good ol' Honda Reliability. Also the familiarity. My first bike was a Rebel 300 and I learned on a Rebel 250 in my Motorcycle Class. But, If I had to choose an Indian. A Chieftain Dark Horse in that Matte White is *chiefs kiss*

I too am a CMX1100 DCT owner (2021) and your comment is absolutely incredible about how close our thoughts are. With a few mods like a Corbin seat, higher bars, and cooler-sounding exhaust, my Rebel is almost perfect. I recently installed the Power Commander Dyno Jet 6 on my bike and performance, balancing, and fuel economy have all improved beyond expectations. Now, the Indian Dark Horse does appeal to me and if that lottery ticket stuck to our frig hits, it'll be a different story...haha Goldwing, with a CVO parked next to it for starters...get my drift?

Good video. I was test riding the Indian, but after checking out the Rebel I had to get the Rebel DCT. I got 10,000 miles on it now and I love it. It's great in the custom programming mode. Greetings from the Jersey shore US.

Love my Rebel 1100. It was my first ever bike and was nice having all the different riding modes to learn on. Full power on, it can take the twistiest roads you throw at it. It is a little more cramped and the stock seat is rough but both can be fixed with a few extra purchases

I spent a bit of time comparing them myself 14 months ago and was two days away from putting money on the Honda. There is just too much that the scout doesn't have (traction control, cruise control and rider modes) that makes a huge difference. Like you I really loved the look of the Scout though and was tempted regardless. Turns out HD announced the Sportster S on the Wednesday and I was at the Harley dealership two days later instead. No regrets at all. Having said that, I would love to see the Sportster S compared to the Indian FTR-S or the Indian Chief. I think for any of those bikes, they are so even that it comes down to styling and ergonomics.

I got really lucky with my Rebel 1100 because that thing sells before it even gets to the island. The Scout is sexy and it is the bike that I wanted. But looking at the specs and seeing all the reviews I’m happy with my Rebel. It’s not a looker but I’ve put lane splitters on, front fairing, and headlight cowl to pimp it out a bit. I transferred from sport bikes to cruisers so it was awkward at first. Even so it’s pretty fun on the twisties. It’s a lifer…I’m keeping this bike till I or it dies. My only complaints is the seat and the amount of bounce the headlight has at night. Wish the tank had a better capacity but other than that…she’s amazing!

2022 manual rebel owner here. i'm 6'0" and 270 lb and 60 yrs old. originally the rider triangle was tight, but new seat and forward controls fixed that. my biggest complaint is the small fuel tank. years ago, i had a suzuki 550e with a bigger capacity. biggest plus is the cruise control. i can relax my grip on the throttle and that really help due to arthritis in the right thumb. it is a very sporty ride.

I bought the Scout Bobber in 2021 and I love it. Living in the US mid-west this bike is perfect for daily riding or for longer weekend trips out-of-town.

Rebel for me. Looks like a much more comfy ride for longer distances, with cruise, and looks amazing as well. I prefer the lighter weight too. Great vid!

I'm a cruiser rider and I really don't like the look of either of them. The Indian Chief bikes are good looking, but the Scouts are another story. Still better than the current generation Rebel which look like a cruiser and a naked sport bike had a baby and mom was taking thalidomide.

Might want to also look into the bikes lean angle too? I’ve done a bit of research on my own and while these and the Harley nightster or fatbob are great competitors also… the nightster and the rebel are marketed as more of a “sport cruiser” with better lean angles but still retaining some of the cruiser style and ergonomics. Just felt that is worth mentioning as they have slightly different target audiences. While both being a cruiser one is more agile and “playful” the other is more style and grunt….

These two are so hard for me to choose from 😩💔

You are right. Paper matters very little to how it looks and makes you feel.

Getting one of each

Another factor that should be considered is chain vs belt final drive. While belts aren't as efficient in transferring power from engine to tire, they don't require as much maintenance. It's the big reason why both the Scout and the Harley Nightster feel tempting compared to the Rebel. The Scout, at this point, is the oldest design, so it has fewer features, but it's also by far the best looking (and using the Bobber for your comparison is really unfair here, as that seat and shocks are the worst of the lot for Indian, so the Rogue might have been a better choice to compare). The Nightster is probably the best all-round bike, with the performance and features surpassing both other bikes, but the left side is even more unkempt and hideous as the ugliest parts of the Rebel, and the price is obscene. To be clear: I love all three, I want all three, and I can't justify buying any of them. Any one of them is going to be amazing. Just know what you're getting into.

Definitely and 100 % scout bobber for me!

I would take either one, because I go for eye appeal and to me they both have it. With the edge going to the Indian Scout. Also, the Honda Rebel looks like a cheaper made bike. But for some reason, I'd rather be seen on an Indian or a HD..... than anything else. And I prefer a belt to a chain

i tried em both and yes the honda has more options and was more agile but i couldnt help but notice that everything on the honda kinda felt cheap to me. The Indian def is more simple and robust/brute so i kinda was convinced by that + its looks Now i have the bobber for 1 year, its a sick bike everywhere i go ppl take pictures, aks me about it etc...the biggest flaws are its suspension and stock seat, now indian has some diff options for it.

So what makes for good brakes? I believe two discs are better than one, but it adds weight and clutter. How about a large diameter disc with 6 pistons? I like to hear my tire when I brake hard. On the dry pavement especially, I listen to the front tire tell me where my braking is. It warns me long before any trouble. I let it speak to me. I attribute that to the fact that I have two discs up front. I figure they average things out. 3 or 4 would be better, I assume, but that would be much clutter, weight, and also a bit weird.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I do like Rebel looks more. So for me it was no brainer which to choose. (out of the Scout lineup I did even like Scout Rogue more than Bobber, but still Rebel won). Also did you yourself try them both out? It kind of sounded like you compared the paper specs, hearsay from forums and just your own eyes to look at them, but no real rider experience. Could have compared the fuel economy also yourself while at that -- hearsay isn't really good for that.

Got the bobber titanium..drove bouth..Honda is all about tech and lightness..Indian scout bobber is just real bike..love it upgraded the rear shocks and seats perfect and looks beautiful...

Service! I can get a Honda repaired in just about any city in the U.S. My nearest Indian dealer is 3 hours away and I'm guessing long term maintenance on the Indian is bound to be more involved.

Looks mean a lot!! Not to mention how many Indians on the road vs Honda! a great brand but Indian has th heritage thing!

It’s all subjective in my opinion. I chose the 2022 Honda Rebel CMX1100 DCT for its quality, performance, value and reliability! Also I like the design of the Rebel with that “stuffed in” engine look. It has its own identity when it comes to the looks and design. Honda thought out of the box with this one. I definitely get more bang for my buck with this bike!! Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder! 👍

I road a Scout... I bought a Rebel 1100. Overall for just about everything the Rebel wins for me. It rides so much better in every way... I am hoping they do a major overhaul to the Scout sometime soon. The only reason I want to get rid of my Rebel for something else, is I want something better for touring... so a little bigger and no stupid chain to keep the maintenance on.

If Honda tweeks the styling of the Rebel it would be a perfect bike (for me).

Bigger platform? The Rebel 1100 is a very cramped bike and suited to people of smaller sizeand or younger athletic folks, whereas the Indian Scout is a much more relaxed riding style. I wish Honda would use the 1100 motor in an updated version to their CTX700 series from 2014 to 2018, which was a much more comfortable bike to ride for a lot of us. However I am sold on the DCT transmissions, and the Honda CTX 700 dct I have is a nice change of pace from my Victory Cross Country.

rebel 1100 non-DCT was not available for the 5 months I looked. I ended up picking an indian scout and its so much more fun

Idk, I think you're way off on the MPG for the Rebel. Life of Burch did a video on MPG with the 1100 and got 55mpg (4.27l/100km), Bennetts did a review and got about the same, Fuelly shows people reporting about 47mpg (5l/100km), and I see the forums reporting around that 46-47mpg mark in the forums. Looking at Fuelly, people are reporting about the same mpg for the scout, meaning it should be lower distance.

Wow ! Finally ! with dct like me just to feel like how to cruise with motorcyle wit AT not manual lol ..the honda looks like harley sportster...

indian scout bobber OR Chief bobber?

In the UK getting an Indian is pretty difficult. But even for a sports bike guy, the Indian smashes it on looks and attention to detail and design. However, the dct Honda is super cheap to buy.... The Indian Scout is far more expensive in the UK. For me the DCT model is a clear winner.

Had a rebel 110 DCT - BEWARE I owned a rebel 1100 DCT for a couple of months and had a major, major problem. I had my bike service at 450 miles. On my ride home I noticed that the bike DCT transmission was engaging while I was stopped. I ignored the issue hoping that it was an one off. After riding the bike for ~200 miles the DCT transmission engaged again while I was stopped and the bike transmission/power over rode the braking system (Front and Back brakes) and took off. I tried with all of my energy to stop the bike but it wouldn't hold. I ended up crashing into a wall, broke a couple of ribs and my collar bone. I do not know if this has happened to anyone else? There is no clutch to override so BEWARE and practice hitting the kill switch!

In what world does the Scout look "cobbled together" compared to the Honda!?! The Scout is the most well-sculpted design of any bike out there, while the Rebel (as much as I like it) is literally a "parts bike"! I can't argue on the awful suspension and awkward rider triangle. Those are definite strikes against the Scout. But in NO way is the Scout the one that looks thrown together!

I have a 2022 Scout Bobber ABS, Black Smoke, and love it. Power and torque are awesome, fuel economy sucks (I'm to blame because of the first part of this sentence), handling is good and fairly nimble (I just lift the inside foot off the peg and let the sparks fly), and the styling is beautiful. The stock seat sucks and only survived the ride home from the dealership. I replaced it with an Indian accessory Syndicate Seat that night and love it. The Honda styling is a huge turnoff, I don't get it. To each their own.

I pwn a rebel 500 and just bought the 2024 scout rogue. I know the rebel 500 is not the same league power wise, but its still the same frame and overall feeling (vs the 1100) About everything in the video is true. I prefer the handling of the rebel, but the scout is way better looking. Less leaning angle on the scout which is really annoying. The scout sucks when it comes to instruments: no gas meter, only a stupid gas light, no actual gauge. Rear suspension travel is baaad on the scout, and already kuch better on the rebel (even if its bad compared to so many other bikes. Ther are cruisers tho)

My Heart: Indian My Brain: Rebel

Indian makes a “comfort seat” accessory. Well worth it.

The conclusion is a bit strange. Better on paper Rebel or more beautiful Scout. Rebel is objectively better tham Scout in more than 50% of cases, so it isn't only on paper. Anyways, it's a personal taste and it's the best if they are tried before deciding. 👍

Most beautiful one, probably there r some Harleys which come close.

Harley sportster s or Ducati Xdiavel are a way more sportsty ! But Indian Scout Bobber is a beautiful bike yes.

Honda 1100 for sure!

I like them both. However, in UK Indian cost few grand more than honda

Scout bobber. Such a good looking bike and a decent amount faster/more powerful than the rebel.

Indian ..... ✌️

There is one area where you all fall down - running cost including servicing???

Nope the India Chief Darkhorse is the winner, i own a Rebell1100, but is becaus of price. I rode the sxout and it was ok, bu the indian Dark horse is just a work of art. Now i teated the Rebell and it gave me way more relax points and it was way cheaper.

I was actually facing this decision at the beginning of 2022, and I came to the same conclusions you did. I'm a bigger (read fatter) rider, so that influenced my choice quite a bit. The Scout had looks going for it. Oh, man, I never thought looks were important to me, but I *felt* like I looked like a badass on the Scout. The Rebel is not bad looking at all, but the Scout just... mmmmm. That's pretty much the only advantage the Scout has going for it, though. The Rebel DCT was under USD $12K out the door (taxes and everything), whereas the Scout was closer to USD $18K. You break down "features" as an advantage of the Rebel, but that's really understating it. The Rebel has Cruise Control standard and the Scout doesn't even have a fuel gauge!!! What sealed it was performance, however. The Rebel's suspension and lean angle are... actually quite decent, though set waaaaay too soft to start with (for my fat ass). The Scout's lean angle is crap, the Bobber's even worse, and the stock suspension is straight up ass. I was bottoming out over small bumps constantly, and it literally hurt. If you are thinking of buying the Scout, factor in at least another USD $800 for a suspension upgrade. Neither of these is really a touring bike. They're naked muscle cruisers. However, I think the Rebel can be made into a decent tourer with upgrades. The stock seat is not comfortable for long rides and you'll need wind protection. The OEM soft saddlebags are surprisingly affordable and good. If I could own multiple bikes and the price was not a problem, I would own a Scout. Feeling like a badass while riding it, illusion or not, is just great. It really nails that. If I had another bike for corner carving, commuting, touring, etc., then the Scout would be a great addition to the garage. Scout + KLR 650 Adventure, maybe? However, as I only have room in my life and budget for a single bike at the moment, I ended up with the Rebel 1100 DCT.

So I rode for years I haven't been on a bike in a little while. Raising kids and a little illness. I've been looking at a bunch of bikes I saw a r18 BMW that was gorgeous it was black. Indian is a nice bike, they have a lot of options that is cool but I can tell you this they are pricey and they remind me of victory. Now how long they'll be around his question and the Honda is tried and true they work like mules.

it´s more like 4.5l/100km for me and I drove my rebel for more then 30 000km.

Wish Indian would make a 400cc or 500..

Rebel all day

Scout Bobber all day long. Do you want to ride a cool bike with character and pedigree,......or just another ricer?

to me... even tho I love the new tech on bikes.... its an easy decision.. The indian wins hands down on the cool/look department.. I will take a pretty hot girl any time over the ugly one..

Scout looks better. Rebel looks cooler. Rebel would have been my choice.

Hey bubba, how about talking in gallons and miles. America is where I imagine most of your viewers reside. And while we’re at it give me how many cubic inches. It wasn’t until the eighties that the Harley 74 translated to 1200 cc. Just saying - do me the favor. Thanks
