I doubt it will bring a younger demographic because cruisers are mostly a lifestyle choice and if you love these types of bikes you'll automatically be interested in Harley's and Indian culture but 40 years olds in Europe will love the rebel 1100.

I def agree with you. The rebel 1100 gives a more modern look to the cruisers. Which I rode a cruiser but I had to turn it into a bobber bc IMO most cruisers look like outdated grandpa bikes. When I look at cruisers the only ones I really like are ones that have newer looking designs such as the rebel or Vulcan 650 s.

I'm looking forward to the rebel 1100 as my next bike. It makes cruising more athletic and youthful compared to the standard 6-700lb 50-60hp cruiser that has been the market staple

I feel I've finally been vindicated... I started on a '95 CBR F3, and bought a '99 'Busa in February of '00. I stopped riding after my first kid was born, and started back up a few years ago. My current baby is an '18 Scout. I've upgraded the rear suspension, swapped the seat, and swapped in a performance 2 to 1 exhaust. I also added a quick-detach windscreen for longer rides with the face shield up. My neighbor fabricated me a rider's seat back, and a saddle bag rack for me. On long trips, I carry an extra fuel can in my left bag. I am 6'1", 355lbs (370 w/ gear). My 5'0", 10y/o, daughter rides with me on longer cruises, and she's currently adding another 110lbs (with gear), so when I'm bagging, and carrying full fuel, we're over 1,100lbs. I feel like she performs VERY well at that weight. Personally, I see the Scout as the Cruiser for Sport riders. 🤷‍♂️

Please, please, please put the big bore kit in the Scout! I’d really like to see what’s involved and how much gain one would get.

Very well done video. The footage, and choice of roads was very good, as was your commentary. The only point of contention I have is how much you would have to spend on it, right after purchase. First of all the headlight has to go. It is horrible. Next (and you mentioned) the front end suspension would be on the list. Many have mentioned the grips and mirrors. While these aren't deal killing expenditures, they should be made. Keep up the great work Yammie.

How do you compare it to the triumph bobber? Or speedmaster?

Thanks for video enjoyed thinking about new scout myself love under the horsepower belt drive water cool my biggest problem for a cruiser 100 plus miles is not very far hard to find anyone to ride with you

As a Scout owner for nearly 5 years may I interject a few improvements to what appears to be a '16 model. 1) the Kenda tires are only good for city riding as they completely suck for cruising BUT, the now stock, Pirelli Night Dragons really wake up the handling. 2) progressive fork springs, OEM on newer models, make a tremendous improvement as well. The only negative I've encountered is in the Owners Group about breaking clutch cables by those who DON'T do basic maintenance. I've ridden over 26K miles without any fraying or issue. Good informative video and the more you ride the Scout, the more you'll love it (once you swap out the tires and fork springs).

The Scout is a heritage bike that isnt limited by "heritage" much like the Toyota FJ Cruiser was a tribute to the original FJ40 it has no real Heritage other than the name. Both are New things Cosplaying as heritage but really not limited by that heritage.

If it’s pre 2018 scout you can buy fork springs from progressive that people say help the front end a lot, 2018 and on has cartridge forks that has some aftermarket options but they’re decently expensive.

I know I’m biased but the octane never stood a chance. If I remember correctly the bike had maybe one year under its belt before Polaris axed the company all together( of that, I only had mine 4 months before I got the news). Would be awesome if Indian brought the octane back as a special edition run.

Excellent review! Very informative, and you've proved what I've always suspected: that HD takes the piss, 'selling yesterdays techology for tomorrow's prices' to gullible people who fail to see that the emperor has no clothes...

Hey folks. Everyone is labeling the Scout as a good starter bike (particularly the Scout 60). But, these are the best things for us who have been at this since the early 70s. I started on two stroke Yamaha twins (68 180cc then a new 74 350 RD 350cc) and had a lot of fun. I then moved to a Yamaha 750 Special triple, 4-stroke Hondas (450 scrambler, 500 Twin, 81 GL1100, 88 GL1500) and I'm now old and tired and want to have the fun of the early 2-stroke twins (without the blue smoke and fouled spark plugs.) The Scout is perfect! Low to the ground (I'm 5'5" on a good day.) It has the rush of power if you keep it in the happy gears, and handles like a 2-stroke twin (compared to a 1500 Goldwing.) This is some fun S&!t!!!!!.

Can you please list the mods on this bike? I see V&H Exhaust, foot pegs ...

My first bike was a 125cc cruiser 4 stroke 15 hp with fully adjustable rear suspension

130/90 16 is the most common UJM rear tire size. Should make it really easy and cheap to find a nice performing set of rubber!
