Loved the review. This gave me great confidence to go and try one out. I was a little worried that an Indian scout would be too little for me as I'm 6"1' but you guys are taller than me and look cool on it so I guess that won't be a problem. I want it as my first bike. Since I saw it I fell in love with it. I'm getting one in a few months hopefully.

I have one, and it's fantastic. Docile at low rev's, but a screamer over 4500. Easy to handle at low speeds, but stable and comfortable enough at high speeds to make long distance totally practical. The downsides: Kind of a small 3.3 gallon gas tank, no cruise control, and useless off-road. I can live with those things.

Hey guys love your videos. You compared the scout to the Harley softail standard and street bob, it’s actually the competitor to the Harley Sportsters. Next month the new chief is coming out that will be Indians answer to the Harley softails. I hope you guys get the new 22 chief in England. It’s going to eat Harleys lunch. I own a Harley and I’m saying that.

Another well researched review with good rider input👏. My initial thoughts were "it's such a small bike for a tall person." However, it actually looked fine and apart from sounding like a sowing machine (plenty of vids about changing that) it's a Harley killer. My only irk of Indian Motorcycles presently is that they don't as yet have a deeper line up of bikes. They seem to start at £12k with the next model up @£19k with nothing in between. What's next the "Triumph Speedmaster" or "Bobber" but the "Vintage Dark Horse" would also be great - well done👍🤘😎

My dad has a Scout (blue/cream two-tone) and I've been on it a few times. It feels very sporty and will go through the corners easily. It's quick, the torque-to-power ratio is really nice. No significant issues with the drive train, it feels solid. It's a fun little bike, but as folks note with fuel tank size - it's great in and around town, but not so great for a longer ride. The issue I have is the finer details of fit and trim. Every fastener needs to be gone over upon delivery with a bit of thread locker! Nothing seemed to be tightened properly. Even the left grip was sliding on the bar...no double sided tape holding it on. Some failure to attend to details that makes me sad. I am also not a fan of the exhaust - the real cylinder pipe is too high up on the bike in my opinion. I'm 6'1" and I think it's in the way. I'd prefer a swept exhaust or a pipe coming on both sides, which would allow them to be lower. Probably not an issue for most, but annoyed me.

Hello guys! Nice job on the review. I must say all the gear is working well and the presentation is very nice. I like the way you break a bike down. Ol'Man, I have to say Mate, you look better on that Scout than I thought you would! I felt so cramped on it I wouldn't even ride it. And I get it, it's not so much the bike's problem. I am a larger human, and some bikes just aren't available to me as a result. I do like the bike overall. Although I think the suspension and brakes let it down, particularly in the front. I keep hearing they are adequate. I want to see dual discs and adjustable USD forks on a machine that has the pretense of a sportier ride. Because the drive train certainly holds up its end. Had the Victory Octane been allowed to live, we could have seen all kinds of performance options. I just wish they could have been more generous with the wheel base and rider triangle. Really nice bike otherwise.

Awesome Motorcycle I've been looking at this bike quite a bit lately. I've also been cross shopping this bike with the Harley Iron 1200 as this will be my first bike ever. To be honest the more I've been researching this bike the more i'm leaning towards buying this bike over the Iron 1200. The Iron 1200 is a good bike don't get me wrong however the the iron has a few things that would prevent me from buying one. First the foot controls they don't fit me at all then again I'm a fairly tall guy at 6,4 and 227 lbs. So the first thing I would have to do is switch out the controls to forward controls. Then the second item is the tank which is way too small in my opinion at 2.1 gals compared to the 3.3 gals of the Scout. That being said the Scout has some issues of it's own that I would need to fix before I could love the bike. 1st is the exhaust which way too quiet I want to hear that exhaust so that would need to change out asap. The 2nd item is the seat while Iron 1200 has a really nice seat the seat on the Scout isn't the best. So a seat swap is a must. Those items aside I really loving the Scout every time I see one the Iron 1200 not so much. So I think once I can afford to I think I might grab the Scout in the Bobber 60 variant one less gear then the standard scout plus it has the less powerful 999cc motor instead of the 1133cc version of regular Scout but for the price and the style and the fact you can get a liquid cooled v twin instead of an air cooled like the Irons and the 48s have with forward controls for around 10k US. The scout is one of the bargain street/cruiser bikes for the money. Anyone whose in the market for a good quality built bike but doesn't have a big budget should consider looking at the Scout series. Trust me they won't be disappointed.

The power between the Scout and the Iron 1200 is night and day. As for the exhaust, I have Crusher slip-ons on my 2016 Scout and I get compliments almost every time I ride my bike. A bonus of having the Crusher slip-ons is that it adds between 5%-10% to your power, and the ECM adjusts for it automatically.

The Scouts look good and are unique you can pick them out in a crowd. Not so much for the other models in the Indian lineup. :)

the harley competition that werent sold here in Indonesia

Nice review. But the last time I sat on a Indian Scout, it was small as hell and I am 6'4. Felt like I was driving a scooter. Maybe I sat on a wrong version or an older model. Or my legs are just way bigger. idk

thanks for review to help stop us going mad , i say that because here in cornwall the weather would not allow you to do such good reviews ,, i see you kept that nice helmet _ any more feedback would be helpful as am thinking of getting one. you must have gained permission to ride on that estate, well done,, i dont like the rear end on that bike or any other harley copy _ it just makes the case for harley stronger , just my opinion folks,]]] glad you pointed out the daft ; in my opinion; pointless mode function , also how can you trust makers of bikes that cannot make a decent stand?????

Thanks Simon. The roads we were on were actually public roads (apart from plonking ourselves at the end of the drive). Interesting points you make 👍🏼 The helmet is really comfortable and relatively quiet. The visor does steam up a bit but once your moving its ok, partly because it’s freezing cold!

Thinking about downsizing from bigger touring bike very interested in scout my problem is still like to ride long distance the horrible fuel mileage 130 MI not many people want to ride with you

Hi guys, could you please make a review on indian scout bobber 2020 as i want to buy one but my concern is my height,i am just over 6 foot 2 inches tall and i love the how it looks but not sure if i will be too big for the bike or not. I am 93 kilos athletic build just like darcy but bit bulkier. Let me know pls . Thanks

Good review. As someone thinking of returning to biking I find the single front discs on cruisers a bit unjustifiable. As you said, it’s good braking for a single disc, but why the single disc? Is it just style over substance?

@MrDarcy-OlMan

2 жыл бұрын

I think to be honest, double disc’s are more about reducing heat fade in continuous vigorous braking, ie spirited riding, and a single disc has plenty of stopping power and is suitable for such bikes.

Do you think the extended seat by indian would be better for tall riders? Or is stock fine.

@MrDarcy-OlMan

3 жыл бұрын

I guess so but after a while the stock seat may soften giving an extra inch or so of space

12.5 litre tank is a wee bit on the small side. Can you get a larger tank as an option? Very nice bike. I'd prefer a larger headlight.

I don’t know to be honest. I don’t think people that buy them are particularly long distance riders

Hello sir, looking for a bobber, I am 6 ft 1 with around 225 lbs, do you think the Harley iron 883, the Indian scout bobber (really love the look of these two) or another bike is the right fit ? Love your videos and subscribed 👍🏽

I love my clunk, until I found it was my clutch slipping.

I’ve actually scheduled a test ride on a 2022 but my concern IS the forward controls and I hope they have an option for mid controls. Spinal issues amassed over the decades make forward controls for me a no no. Nothing worse than your brain telling your leg to go to ground and your leg doesn’t get the message and over you go

Do you recommend this (w/o any modifications) on long drives? Long hours? Or needs to change to a more comfortable shocks and seats? Or adjust the stock shocks and the tire pressure and the handle bar?

Gentlemen, love your bike reviews. Will subscribe if you would please answer my question. How would you compare the Indian Scout to the Triumph Speedmaster? Personally which would you choose and why?

@MrDarcy-OlMan

Жыл бұрын

The Scout is a bit bigger but the Speedmaster is a beautiful classic and is lovely to ride. I would choose the Speedmaster 👍🏼

A bit small for taller folks. A larger version (based on the Challenger platform) with the PP108 would be awesome.

That would be one I would consider perhaps. I can't even ride the current configuration! The rumor mill is already afoot with hints that a new platform (or a more traditional version based off the Challenger chassis) using the PP108 engine is in the works. A 2022 model maybe? We will see given the current state of the world.

Been under the impression these would be too small for me but evidently that’s not the case. Nice. Back on the short list.
