Long live the octane! When I got octane, I started stock piling parts... trying to be my own parts resource. I love that bike. Glad to see it get a 2nd and a half life with rogue. (Ima count in the ftr as I think thats what the pikes peak fan boys thought octane was originally gonna be)

All the comparisons say to me "Polaris made the Indian Scout Rogue a worse version of the Victory Octane 5 years later". They should have slapped an Indian badge on the Octane and called it a day.

Thank you for that! There’s always more to say but I think this video sums up my experience well.

Talking about that rear suspension reminds me of that video you did way back when you were demoing a Scout Bobber and hit all those bumps lol good laugh at happy memories. Nice take & honest info on that Rogue! (Odd throttle issue..)

I love my Octane. The one thing I wish it had is a taller 6th gear. 4050 RMP at 70mph is a bit buzzy, so it's not for longer highway rides.

Great review! And nice trim on the mustache. I dig your videos and the real information you share!

Brandon: I enjoyed your review of the Scout Rogue. It sounds like Indians developed a version of Scout that keeps the cool, aggressive look of Scout Bobber but has made it more versatile for a wider variety of riding and road conditions. This bike may be exactly what new to Indian riders are looking for! (I own four Indians - 21’ Vintage, 19’ FTR-RR, 22’Chief Bobber DH Stage2, 21’ Scout Bobber 1300 (engine has been heavily modified.)

Great video. I loved the videography and the editing!

Dude. I love your content and your opinions. This was a great video as you started off in my home town and then through my second home town and then to my current hometown all on a brand of bike my uncle has been selling and working on for about 40 years at “the shop”. Keep doing what you’re doing. 👊🏻

Nicely done video. You kept the narrative flow smooth and interesting, and the music was not too much of an irritant :) Keep up the great work and ride safe.

I have a Victory Octaine. For the most part, as long as I'm not sitting still for very long, I love the bike. The heat issue is the one thing I hate about it. I'm glad you mentioned it.

If I’m still riding and wanting to go the cruiser route in the future, I’ll definitely look at the rogue. I currently have the octane and love it. Like everyone else is saying, if you can find one to ride, take the opportunity. You won’t regret it at all.

Great video, Brandon, especially where you are digging the twisties and feeling confident! My Rogue should be arriving by late August. I'm thinking about the rear shock upgrade as I'm used to the 3 inches of travel that I have on my 2016 Scout that I'll be trading in. I prefer the blacked out engine and pipes as opposed to all the chrome on the 2016.

Nice video bro, you’ve definitely done your research and you know Victory and Indian very well . I too am an Indian fan and own a Scout . They are great bikes , I personally own a 2017 Scout that I converted to a bobber (style wise) . I have no complaints other than the cheap stock suspension , that I immediately swapped out for the Fox adjustable shocks which made a huge difference. And one thing that made a monumental difference in everything about my Scout was a driver backrest pad. It made longer rides a lot more fun , plus when you throttle the Scout you won’t feel like your gonna possibly slide off the back ! (It locks you in)...

Give us a Rogue S with the FTR mill to take on the SporsterS please 🙏

Thanks for the videos- I actually purchased my rogue because of your reviews, almost pulled the trigger on a chief bobber, but I wanted something less cumbersome and more sporty, I’m am very happy with bike now 1 week in

Octanes ride much better. No such thing as too much travel. Challenger, Pursuit, Scout , all thanks to Victory ! Great vid ! Ride on my freind!

I had an octane and it was a stupid amount of fun to ride! I would love one of these. Great info, thnx!

I got a Rogue a few weeks ago...1000 miles later and I absolutely love it. No problems to date. I upgraded the headlight and turn signals to the LEDs and I'm having the exhaust replaced with the Indian Stage 1 2-Into-1 Full Exhaust System on June 9th. My only complaint so far is fuel tank size could be larger, at 3.3 gallons you get roughly 120 miles out of a full tank. Other than that it's been all good so far.

No way you were here in Ventura. I spat my drink out at 4:15 when I saw Tony's. Pretty cool seeing the places I'm familiar with. I haven't been keeping up with watching your videos lately, but damn was I shocked to see the first video of yours I saw in a while of you riding in my backyard. Hope you enjoyed Ventura County. Great video. I've been riding for only a year and a half, so I never knew about Victory before they went defunct (or whatever the correct term is). I've only ever seen two of them in person. One was like a rolling piece of art with gracious curves and beautiful colors. The other is my neighbor's and looks like a piece of shit, but it's a shit with gracious curves at least. I initially wanted to get a Scout Bobber because I thought it was the unquestionably coolest bike that nothing could come close to (that's how I came across your channel). The Rogue is pretty rad too, but I still prefer the look of the Bobber more with that phat front wheel and lower stance. Between the two, I probably would get the Bobber on looks alone. I haven't test ridden either of them, though, so I don't know how I'd take to the ergonomics. That said, I don't think I would actually get either of them as I've been eyeing the FTR as my new unquestionably coolest bike that nothing could come close to.

That ride looked amazing!

Hey Brandon, great video and great videos! Question: I am stuck between purchasing a 23 Scout Rogue and a 23 Sport Chief, b/c it is the outgoing year the pricing is very competitive for both. I am an experienced rider and like both, I do not do long trips often, mostly cruise with friends, and bar hop. IYO which would you go with?

@BrandonBicasso

3 ай бұрын

Oof… that’s a tough one. I’m team Chief because it’s a slightly bigger bike and I like the character of ThunderStroke. The Rogue handles a bit better to me with that 19” wheel but both scrape pegs a lot. Cruise control on Chief is hard to pass up as well for me. Extra suspension in the rear might be something to consider in the future with the dual brakes/inverted forks on Sport Chief. Both did VERY well with the windshield. I was left impressed riding both but I’d go Sport Chief for the long term. However, I’d wait until Indian announces the new Scout line-up in a few weeks. May give you a few more options to consider if they make it different enough from the ‘23s.

Thanks for the reply! Gonna be a tough choice, agree! I def can’t wait to see what the 25 scout looks like.

So I run the Octane front and rear on my Indian scout as well as the octane rear pulley with mini apes. Have been running this for about 2 1/2 years now and the bike feels amazing. I'm actually glad Indian decided to combine the two and grow the Scout a little but I can't say I'm not disappointed and the Rogue seems kind of half arsed. There are so many issues they could have addressed, like the suspension issues, brakes and that throttle but it appears the changes are only cosmetic.

And it’s a great looking bike to boot! Great review. Lol…I was typing as watching and said “If I were younger”. You’re young enough to be my son. I’d ride one around the block still but at my age, I want the touring with all the wind protection and sofa-comfort.

The rogue is the complete package. Great looks, a seat that holds you in place, a fairing that blocks the air and comfortable bars. The only downside is the short travel suspension.

This is a great video and an equally as great video title.

I got to test ride a Scout Rogue last weekend. I'm 6'0'' @ 200 lbs. I just feel too big on the Scout frame. It was fun for sure, but too small for me. The Cheif was a little better, but ergos still felt small. The new Pursuit was a beautiful ride. She is a HEAVY girl at 900+ lbs, but the ride is soooo smooth.

Rear cylinder deactivation really wouldn't help. The exhaust is RIGHT under your thigh, and it stays at 280+ degrees for 5+ minutes after the cylinder stops. They need to change the routing of the rear exhaust. Its the only bike I have ridden that melted the inner thigh of my Aerostitch suit. I have even tried putting a bigger heat shield on, and stuffing under the heat shield with additional thermal - it helps, but its not enough.

I would like a 5-gallon tank, a fuel gauge, and what else? A more comfortable seat I suppose but that can be found somewhere. Oh yeah, a 4-speed gearbox, and easy pull clutch and front brake levers. If a motor will pull a gear, why would you want to shift all the time?

One of my chapter members has a 2021 scout that the tranny crapped out on him coming back from Thunder Beach. Indian said it will be a month or more to fix. I never had trouble with my 2015. For me, if I get another Indian it will be a Chief or larger bike. My wife wants another scout.

As always great video. Good perspective . Nice take on improvements over redesign. Look at the Harley Sportster, improvements made for many years before redesign. One of the most modifiable bike's out there. I think Indian has a good plan and I hope they stick with it. Always room for improvement, even for an old rider like myself. Thanks again. Be safe 🍻

Decisions I don't understand - Why didn't they use the Scout rear subframe? That extra inch of travel seems like it would have eliminated (or significantly improved) one of the biggest complaints about this bike. What I'd really like to see is a Scout+ rogue with a +1 suspension. I'm only 5'9 (on a good day) with a 29" inseam and I'd happily trade an inch of seat height to get 4.5 inches of travel on that rear suspension. [EDIT: the more I think about it, the more I'm sure the right way to go is to add the rogue changes to a Scout.]

Harley didn’t make the Bronx. I hope Indian makes a naked bike similar to it using the scout motor. I’d buy one.

I would love to see a Scout Sport with real mid controls and a different rear end where you can run a larger rear wheel such as 17 or 18" and more suspension travel. The Scout are limited in customization where Sportsters are not. Stock the Indian is the better bike but for customization the Harley is the better bike !

Yes/No. The main accessories are a no-brainer. The wheel is a bit different because it’s more than just a bolt on part. They want you to use their tire and also probably replace the sealed bearings and have the tire balanced. So, that is a bit more involved than them simply listing it as an option to buy as an accessory. However, you can easily look up the parts and order it from their catalog.

Losing the throttle on a ride? This is why I don't like electronics. With a cable, you can always find a way to make it work to get home, even if you have to pull it by one hand somehow. I've had to do it. I hope there is a way to do that. I assume there is a throttle body that would have some kind of cable, right? Use a shoelace or something, right?

I had the same issue with my scout. A bad sensor put it in limp mod. I unplugged the battery for about 30 minutes and it ran fine... at least long enough to get me home. Indian picked my bike up and replaced the sensor.

I would love to hear some comments from Octane owners.
