I have 15k miles on my bobber. I bought it back in early 2020 (1133 CC’s). I found it to be reliable as hell and easy to work on (if you have the manual). I highly recommend this bike to new riders. It’s fun, good looking and fast. Don’t think about it and just get it. I was a new rider too. Ride safe guys.

​@@RickyBobber Wow man I just found your channel today I also live in SD looking to get my first Motorcycle, I'm an MTS bus Operator and in looking for a way to commute faster the traffic on the 805 can be a nightmare In the afternoons. Glad to see your enjoying the bike I've been looking into the scout also.

Although I went with the Scout Sixty, I have to say these bikes are great beginner bikes. As you said, they are perfect to grow into. As you ride more, you get used to the bike, how it rides, and muscle memory starts to get better. The only other bike I ever road was the 250 at my Motorcycle safety course. I am very petite and weigh much less than my bike, so a lot of people were nervous when I said I went all out and bought an Indian as my first bike. " Why not a smaller bike for just starting?" They'd ask. Because I knew I'd quickly grow out of one of those and I had heard Indian bikes were very forgiving. I am very happy with the choice I went with. I even inspired my 50 year old mom to start riding as well.

Unfortunately for me, I live in a country where beginner riders cannot legally ride a Scout due to its engine size. But after seeing all these videos, I definitely want to own one of these 2015 onwards Indian Scouts.

2700 on my 2023 Scout, but it's my daily and I ride to Temecula from Chula most days of the week so it's gonna keep climbing and fast lol. This thing is a dream and you were right on the money with what you had to say about it!

I was planning making my motorcycle license since years. One or two weeks ago, I have seen the Indian Scout Bobber for the first time and I instantly fell in love with the looks. Now I have to start with the license and I must buy this thing :D

I can't wait to ride mine. I totally respect the power behind the bike. Great video!

Previous and first bike was an 85 yamaha maxim which took me cross country, bullet proof. 91 softail... now this bobber. Amazing bike.

I chose the scout bobber twenty as my first bike and I have to admit it was one of the best decisions of my life! Exactly the way you explain it, that's how I feel it too. I've test ridden a number of motorcycles and none were as agile and flexible as this one.. Of course with the larger bikes you have more presence, but also more weight, a larger turning radius and also more fuel consumption. So if you can afford it as your first motorcycle or even as an experienced driver, you shouldn't hesitate for a second and get this baby because you won't regret it for a second! Thank you for this video and many greetings from southern Germany!

Well done. I have to agree with most everything. A little history. Current bike: 2021 standard Scout 69. Me: 66 yr. old - 5'10" 225lb. 49 yrs. experience. Having ridden many, and owning several HD's, this bike does everything I need it to. I no longer tour, and my daily rides are typically 50 > 70 miles. A lot of things would have to go south before I would give up this bike. No one bike is going to satisfy every rider, and the only problem I have with this bike is the permanent smile. As far as good 1st bike, like you said, it depends on the person / personality. Bike has more than enough power to get you into trouble, but also forgiving at the same time. I do not try to impress or look for compliments, but I get plenty. Now I just have to get through the next 3 mo. (WIS )

Hey Ricky, I also got the 22 ISB as my first motorcycle. I ordered it in August after many hours of research (thanks to your channel and some others), I decided to order one. It got delivered in October and I have loved it ever since. I am having the time of my life. There truly is no feeling like riding a motorcycle. I was worried that I was in over my head when I got it because of the weight and engine size, but your video sums it up perfectly. As a shorter guy it fits me awesome, and the weight balances very well. Lastly I expected to be jumping out of the seat when shifting gears but the bike really does not scare you unless you ask for it. It was very different compared to my friend's Ninja 300 which had an insane jump from 0, but the power kind of fell off afterwards. Anyways, great video and thank you for making me feel confident in buying my first motorcycle.

What did u bought?? I'm owning yamaha virago 535 ...this is my second season with it ... but I don't feel slow ...75 miles per hour can be hold on without problem and going up to 110-115 if needed ...but in that kind of speed the wind is already annoying/strong and not enjoyable ( yes I have no shield as most of Indians doesn't as well) . And here in Europe the highway is mostly restricted to 75-80. Overtaking is also smooth as well... and just now I'm starting riding the bike really well cornering and such stuff ... learning .... my personal opinion is .. if u can't ride a 500cc bike to its full potential and capabilities u shouldn't going to heavyweight class ... learn, use its potential move on ... but I will still keep mine after I get to the Indian... such a light and squishy bike is always fun to ride.

I got my Scout Bobber last year at Indian of SD. I got my first bike when I was 8 yo, and rode through high school, but quit when I joined the Navy. I was self-taught and never got more than a learner's permit. But this time I went through the CSMP training and actually got licensed. So, the Scout was really my first big boy bike. It's insane how much I love my Scout and think I made the best decision regarding the bike to choose. I love how customizable it is. I've upgraded the shocks and added the LED headlight, rear rack, Dean Speed highway bars and sliders and a 22" DS sissy bar. Did I see you riding with the bobber fly screen? What do you think of it?

Still working towards my full licence. But as soon as I do, I'm after a bobber or a rogue for sure,

This'll be my fourth bike, but first of that type. The first 3 bikes I've owned were the Honda CBR600RR and 2 different Kawasaki KLR650s. First KLR650 I bought was from a private seller who set it up much like a dirt bike. Damn friction zone had zero chill and was a bit rough on the upshifting. Needless to say I got rid of that one rather quick. Its modded novelties irritated me pretty quick. The second one is still in my possession. Like the first, the one I am still holding on to is a Gen 1 KLR650. I'm over and done with the crotch rockets and the awful posture it takes to ride those things. It hurts my back way too much. Fun bikes when you're still young, durable, and have a healthy back. :D

I REALLY wanted to start with an Indian bike or the AT. Indians are just too beautiful to make easily avoidable mistakes in and the AT had a bit too much juice and weight in the tank for me as a beginner. I went with the next best bike, the Tenere-700. Some might argue it's still a bit big for a starter bike but this is where I landed. I can flat foot it and have reached a lvl of discipline to where I won't loop it because a few chics were "checking me out" lol...

Hey, so I found out about this bike a few weeks ago and have loved the look since then. Right now I own a Honda CBR 500 R and am looking to upgrade to the Scout Bobber. My only worries are about the fuel, since it doesn't have a fuel gauge which is a pretty scary thought to me. I heard it also doesn't have the best range with a full tank, is that right? And also, I usually ride city or country roads, but do want to go on the occasional longer trip in a group. Do you think this bike is right for that kind of riding? Love your videos, they help me a lot, greetings from Austria!

It doesn't have a gauge but it has a low gas indicator and you have about 20-30 miles after that before you run out. It's never been a problem for me. I get about 130 miles per tank. 150 if I'm doing all highway

I know what you mean. I mean long term as opposed to someone that rode it for 30 minutes and spoke on it. But yes. Definitely the beginning

Always loved the Indian Scout bobber but I opted out for a Yamaha vstar 1100, hate the fact that I only have 5 gears compared to the 6 in the Indian, if you’re a crazy driver yeah get yourself a rebel, but if you think you can handle the power and you don’t give in to the temptation I say 1000cc+ is good for you.

I don't think they'll ever add a screen to the bobber. The idea of a Bobber is to be minimal. No key fob no cruise control no screen. Maybe with the Rogue cause it's technically not a "bobber"

It’s a fantastic bike but I’d say the fact it isn’t LAMS approved kinda automatically disqualifies it from the title of “best beginner bike” or “best beginner cruiser”. Best bike for someone switching from a car who already has their full licence sure but anyone who is getting their bike licence as their first vehicle licence is likely gonna be a relatively experienced rider the time they’re legally allowed to ride this bike

Harley stopped selling entry entry level bike- venenerable Sportster. Choosing rather to sell high end only. Many Harley customers are migrating to Indian for a good reason.

Hi mate. I intend to get this as my first bike. The only thing in my mind is whether my hight will be optimal. Do you think with my 5'5 I'll be alright? Thanks

You will absolutely be okay. I know people 5'5" or short that ride the Scout Bobber. Thanks for watching!

I wish i had the 6th gear.

if you buy a cruiser type bike thats under 1000cc you will regret it. My cousin and i switched bike couple years ago, he had the bolt, i had the zx6r. and the bolt was slow as hell, even tho it was twice as big of an engine as my bike. It sucked to get out of blind spots etc.

Getting my first motorcycle deciding between the scout bobber rogue or the scout bobber rogue sixty !

Oh man, I wish that I had my very first car, which was a 67 Chevy Caprice. I paid $750.00 for it in 1981. That car was completely stock, and it ran like a top.

Weird thing for me is I have a trident 660 and it has enough power for highways and everything I need yet I’m kinda bored of it. I’m not sure what it is about it.

All bikes are beginner bikes, just add one beginner. Seriously though, if the bike feels right for the rider, it could be the best bike for any rider to start with.

I can see that logic. The keyword is "Good" beginner bike though. There are a lot of bikes that would make for dangerous or "bad" beginner bikes for the majority of non-exceptional beginners.

If you trying to decide between an indian scout or a honda rebel 1100. then you have to look at the foot controls. I just love the front foot control look. That is why im going to get the scout bobber instead of a honda rebel 1100, mid controls just look gay af in my opinion.
