Great video as usual sir 😊 I got a RE Shotgun and it is an amazing ride but I’m looking to upgrade to an Indian Chief Bobber dark horse! I fell in love with it as I wanted a cruise control for my long rides. I was aiming for the Scout Classic but it had no CC and the dealer told me to check the Chief! Loved it a lot but it’s a completely different beast than my RE Shotgun.
Awesome dude!!! The Chief is a mean machine man! Thanks for the kind words!
Which bike would you recommend? Indian Scout Bobber or RE Shotgun? Beginner here :)
Hmmmmmmmn both great bikes in their own ways. I think personally the Shotgun is a better beginners bike as there’s just less power to get away from you. It wont scare you. Also the Shotgun is simply easier to handle corners easier etc. now on style I think they’re both cool in different ways as well Bobber is a meaner looking machine and sounds tougher. But the Shotgun is cool in a sportier more classic of way. For a beginner I say the Shotgun. But that’s completely up to you. If your really dreaming of the Scout I’d say get a smaller used bike first and get comfortable on that and then upgrade but it’s a personal choice:) check back in and let me know what you decided at some point 😎
This was the bike, until the Triumph 400 came out, and in LA I need the extra power.
Totally understand that 😎
I have one, 1000 km done, only one default: vibration in the foot pegs from 110km/h… have you noticed this?
Nothing of a level to bother me. But maybe I should’ve paid closer attention 🤓
Hey Fastlane, what's that jacket you're wearing?
What’s up Jonathan. Thanks for watching….. it’s just a Dickies kinda light jacket….. not motorcycle worthy or anything …. I picked it up at Ross dress for less for $19.99…. That was just like a week ago so they might still have some depending on where you live. It’s really nice though
Ok brother I got home and realized I still had the tags in my backpack for the jacket… so it’s called the Insulated Twill Service Jacket :) hope that helps
@@FASTLANEMOTO Thanks, it's a smart looking jacket. I like your long term review on the RE Shotgun. Looking forward to future videos!
@@Jonathan-L thanks dude!
I have to say buy with caution cuz mine is not even a month old but it has gone to the service centre 2 times due to transmission issues
Sorry to hear that man. Appreciate you sharing your experience. Hopefully they get it all figured out for ya.
Thats a review video. Great presentation. Right on point.
Thank you so much 😊 appreciate that.
I absolutely love mine!
Right on brother! What color did you get?
Currently have a MEteor 350, thinking of upgrading to either the INT 650 or the Shotgun
Right on Chad! Keep me updated dude and let me know what you get !!!!
It really does look good. So far, it would be my favourite of their 650s but the Guerilla has just landed so I'll see what the reviewers think of that.😊
Totally Lily! It will be like 6 months or so before it makes its way to the states but I am excited to try the Gurilla as well!!! Trying to get my hands on the new Himalayan which is set to release here any day!!!
@@FASTLANEMOTO people over here really like the new Himalayan but the ones who own the old one think it's a new bike rather than an upgrade.
Oh totally!!!
All good things...
Thanks dude!!!
Hey guys chat live with me on this fine Sunday morning!!!!
F- Harley and their woke bs. Indian all the way ,
Buying used is the best decision. Let somebody else pay the depreciation and all the erroneous dealer fees.
Totally agree dude! Nothing worse than feeling like you got hosed on something you were excited about 😡
Kinda long winded
Well I appreciate you tryin :)
I was named after Steven McQueen. He rode an Indian. That’s enough for me
Awesome….thats good company!!!! 🤓
I agree with most of what you are saying as it's my the first time of watching your channel. I'm enjoying your content as now I have followed. But when you said Harley Is Americana, I would have to disagree with you up until the last few years. With the crap that the company supports and donates large amounts of money to with all this woke DEI crap that they help to support and helps fundraise money for, such as kids to have reconstructive surgery as little Tommy wants to be little Sally. I would rather ride a Honda than a Harley myself. Keep up the great content bro.
how's the helmet with the cardo inside? would you still say it's a good helmet after owning it a while now
The headset fits amazingly into this helmet. Probably one of my favorite as far as lots of room for mounting and ease of running wires etc…I think it’s a solid choice but still will emphasize it is a little on the larger shell size so depending on your frame size might look a little bobble head ish. I found this helmet to be pretty quiet I think better than my icons (airflite and airform) and pretty comfy as well. 🤓
How she do on some of those wetter days? I be in the PNW too and am considering this one
Amazing ! I rode it in the rain all this spring :)
I own a 2007 Harley 883 Sportser. I went on a ride with a guy on a Harley trike, and he complimented my bike that it looked so new, but then he proceeded to say, "You can ride a bigger one".
Ha….. yes you can ride a bigger one… but you may or may not want to 😂
Use an electric leaf blower to dry the bike. Excellent!
I just bought my first motorcycle back in April, it’s a 96 1400 Suzuki Intruder. It’s definitely not a beginners bike, they guy I bought it from I think needed cash asap and at the time I didn’t know my a$$ from a hole in the ground when it came to bikes. After riding it for 2 months now I’m finally getting the hang of the clutch and throttle and she’s not stalling out on me anymore ( turns out the issues I was having was not the bike itself self but user error lol) For my next bike I definitely wanna get a Indian some people I know have said I should get a Harley but like you said, you like being different and I feel the same way every person I’ve met who rides own Harley’s. I’ll subscribe to your channel, like what you had to say and you seem like a good dude
Thanks dude appreciate that! Awesome man yeah a big bike to start as definitely takes a learning curve. Thanks for subscribing dude. What part of the world/ country are you riding in?
@@FASTLANEMOTOgood morning man, I’m from Michigan, where I live I can ride in the city or I can ride out in the country and enjoy scenic routes and some nice curves.
Right on dude! I have a buddy from Michigan . Sounds like a nice place to ride…..Great Lakes and the home of Harley Davidson correct?
Oh wait that’s Milwaukee for Harley….idk I’m half asleep lol 😂
@@FASTLANEMOTOlol you’re good bro I need my coffee in the morning too. If you’re ever in the great mitten state maybe we could ride together, I don’t have many people to ride with especially my own age ( I’m 29) So I’m always looking for people to ride with
The dealer being an ass is the exact reason I didn't buy a Harley when I looked for my first bike. I had no idea what I wanted or knew anything about any brand. Walked into the Harley dealership as my first stop and was asked to leave within 5 min and I hadn't even sat on a bike. So I didn't buy a Harley. Now I'll never buy one because they are terrible bikes hahaha
Dude that’s crazy why would they ask you to leave??? Yep it’s unfortunate that so many people have had a really bad experience at a HD dealership :/
Poking fun at Harley riders is justified for like a year now, it's a brand that spat on everything that established it much like Budlight.
É uma vergonha o modo como muita gente , inclusive dealers HD vêm tratando com desdém as sportster . A nível de dealers, com certeza as ordens de empurrar outra moto para quem quer uma sportster vêm de cima. O próprio CEO da marca extinguiu a família sportster como a conhecíamos ;família essa que era a mais antiga da HD (desde 1957) . O próprio fundador dos Hells Angels ( Sonny Barger) andou numa. Sinceramente!!!
Comprei uma hoje !!!
Right on dude!!!! Congrats! Hope you are enjoying it!
Hey bro, great video. Love the bible verse too :) Do you have affiliate links for the filter and oil? Just about to do my first oil change on my Hunter 350. Would like for you to get paid. Thanks again!
Thanks man. Appreciate the support…. No affiliate links as I bought the filters on a trip up to Seattle at a local shop and picked up the oil at my local Harley dealer that carries Royal Enfield as well…. surprisingly the oil was considerably cheaper buying it there so it might be worth a call if you have a local dealer. Some people have had a slight leak after changing so it’s not a bad idea to grab the little rubber gasket as well. 🤓
How is venting on this helmet? Im loking for something with more airflow than my actuall street helmet. Was looking for an adv helmet but found this 9ne interresting
I would say venting is ok but not the absolute best if you’re in pretty hot temps…. I like to ride with a motocross style with goggles in the summer as I just think they have such superior airflow.
I like your style. Have a 2020 Indian Scout Bobber which I have slowly customized for the last 4 years.
Saweeeeeeet!!!! What have you done to the bike so far?
Much love from a fellow Eugenian! Buying my first motorcycle this week and stumbled across your channel
Right on dude!!!! What are you gonna get dude????
@@FASTLANEMOTO Decided on an 09 yamaha vstar 650 classic, hopefully will learn and in due time upgrade to an indian scout ! 😁😁
That’s awesome dude!!! I started on a Rebel 300 and was so happy I hadn’t bought that dream bike yet when I dumped it hard
YES 777
Thanks Frank! Appreciate the support! What are you riding? and in what part of the country/world?
Great video and I have total respect for Harley Davidson and anyone that owns one. Unfortunately I haven’t found that to be reciprocal. I love my Indian Scout.
Thanks dude appreciate it man! Yeah unfortunately that tends to be the case more than it should be…. Pretty lame IMO. It’s up to folks like us to help change the culture :)
Trading in my Hunter 350, which I absolutely love, tomorrow for a grey Shotgun. Test rode the Shotgun today, and it felt amazing. Thanks for the video!
Right on Fats…. I feel ya dude!!! It’s a crazy good feeling bike!…. I’ve put nearly 2000 miles on it so far and it’s recently started loosening g up even more and feels quicker and even more fun 🤓Congrats dude! So excited for ya!
Indian scout. 100hp Enough said. Looks cool.
Great points!!!
Trying to decide between the super Shotgun vs. the Super Meteor. Tell me if this is right … Long rides, Super Meteor is likely the better bike, Looks- how many complements one gets- wise, Shotgun is likely superior Riding the twisties - Shotgun More interstate miles- Super Meteor Wanna ride West Texas freeways, with speed limit of 85 mph? Neither can go over 75 mph safely, for more than the occasional overtaking. Neither is excellent for 2 up riding. In about a year, used Shotguns should be available for 30% off brand new.
I think you’re pretty spot on with almost all your thoughts…. The only one I would contradict is You can easily in my opinion go over 75 for as long as you want.I had this bike well over a number of times on my almost 5 hours up to Seattle and back home…..
We all thank Rob!
Yep Rob is the man!!!! Ha!!!
Eager for Shotgun vs. Super Meteor video. Which is the better for touring, and which for city commuting? Which ONE can be the one bike?
Hope to buy mine tomorrow. It's second hand, with 2,000 miles and full service history. I think it works out $3800 or here in England £3000. Trying to keep calm.....🥴🤗
That’s awesome!!! Congrats 🎉
I have had alot of bikes. I am 63 and had a Sportster 1200cc and I loved it but then I got a blood clot in my leg. So I sold the Sportster like 8 years ago. I just bought a used 2020 20 Indian Bobber and love it. Sportster had 64hp and the Indian has 100hp. No comparison in speed, quickness and torque. I am short, lol, 5'5". Going to change the seat, put floor boards and a winshield on it. It does have one bad feature, The rear shocks.
John thanks so much for sharing your journey. So glad that you love the Bobber it’s such a beautiful bike:) what part of the world are you in?
@@FASTLANEMOTO Winston Salem N.C.
@johnclore6285 right on John
I'm not much of a Harley fan but my favorite Harley is the Sportster so many other Harley bikes are just so heavy
Agreed! My favs are the sportster and the Softail standard. Thanks for watching 🤓
Thanks that was so simple. For someone whit no machine knowledge. Looking at one in galway ireland. For my first bike.in 38 years. First bike was a kawasaki ke 100 . Broke my ❤ but I loved it
Absolutely Raymond! I LOVE Ireland 🇮🇪…my wife and I took our second Honeymoon in Dublin and the surrounding area a few years back! Such a beautiful place☺️ Glad you enjoyed the vid .
I've been looking for a second bike as a sort of backup for my primary one. Looking for either a scrambler or something I could turn into a scrambler and this Hunter has been on my short list. How have you liked it? And do you think it would make a good scrambler? I'm about 5'11" at 200 lbs, wondering if this bike is big enough or if I should look at something a bit larger
Hi there, I personally own a hunter in a rebel red colour way. It's an absolute great bike..value for money, Great mileage and easy to ride and maintain as well. I'm 6ft tall and sit comfortably on my hunter. Suspension is a bit stiff and doesn't take bumps that well tho. However it's tolerable not all that bad. I don't feel fatigued after a long ride. If ur in the market for getting a bike on the lines of a hunter then I would suggest to test ride the new royal enfield guerilla 450..(it launched today into the market) new sherpa engine, mono shock suspension and more tech on the speedometer with power overall power. Check it out, hope this helps!
Great questions:) I’m 6.2 , 235lbs. I think it’s a killer bike to build as a scrambler…super noble and a lot of fun…. I do think for bigger people like myself that’s its a good second bike /around town bike…. I think if you really wanted to get on the highway you would want more power. My plans are to build this into a scrambler as well:) am I a little big for this…..probably and a lighter person would probably feel a bit peppier on it but that’s not to say it’s not super fun. I think the price point is a huge factor….. the Hunter is really economically priced which was a factor for me. What you get for the $$$ I think is pretty freaking cool. 😎 I’d say get yourself in the bike for a test ride and see what you think. :)
@@FASTLANEMOTO Nice! Yeah I gotta give it a go. Been looking at this and a few others, have to ride em to figure out which one it'll be
Tip replace those Alan socket bolts that it came with better ones they strip stupid easy. Especially since you have to remove it every oil change.
Yes great suggestion Jay! I hadn’t thought about the bolts but was thinking you do have to take the bash plate off every time!
@@FASTLANEMOTO one more thing Check to make sure your horn still works. I had to bend m horn bracket a tad because it was against the horn and it stopped it from working.
@@jaymichaud1447 hmmmmn I will check it out :)
Nice @Fastlane the guard looks great!!
Thanks dude! …. Yeah man it’s Nice!!! It’s super weird though I set this vid up as a premier 🤷♂️ and it just launched all by itself…. I think I’m gonna have to re upload it
I will let it play for a bit and see what happens :)
Great video, helpful for when I get my Hunter😊
@@chathamabs2011 thanks dude!!! Glad to help! Thanks for watching🤓
@@FASTLANEMOTO No worries, you explain things very well. Look forward to your next upload. Ride safe brother 🫡
I am waiting for two years before I buy a bike. I have to get surgery on my hips. I am getting one done next month. But the bike that I really want is an Indian Pursuit but I am hoping that they do something more to it before I buy one. But if they don’t I should get a really great price on one in two years time. This is not my first bike. I had to stop because of my hips, but I have ridden for 20 years. I plan on renting a few bikes before I actually buy one. The bike that I had was a Honda VTX 1300 and I had babe on it. I used to ride cross country all of the time and I really miss it.
Cool dude! Yep It’s really smart to try out as many of the bikes you’re interested in that you can… and I agree the pursuit is really sweet as well. What color are you thinking?
Does this helmet have space for the speakers ? Thank you
Yep sure does!
So you missed the important bit of where is best to mount everything on and in the helmet
True I should do an update vid on this! Hope you’re doing well and appreciate you watching! What part of the world are you in?
Thanks for the video! I got a kit from eBay but it's missing the spacers, could someone measure the length and width? Kindly appreciated.
If mine wasn’t all installed I would measure for ya…. Somebody help this dude out!
@@FASTLANEMOTO Thanks for the response. If you had to guestimate and grab some callipers, would you say it's about half an inch in diameter and just a little longer? Length and width look almost the same in your video. Sorry to be a bother.
Some things NEVER change, huh? It’s been 20 years since I’ve traveled that stretch of I5 and the traffic remains the same. I have fond memories of the PNW.
Right on Henri! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! What part of the world are you in now and what are you riding?
@@FASTLANEMOTO mid-Atlantic east coast, triumph speed 400 … which I’m looking to sell.
Ooooh nice 👍
I've had a stencil white Shotgun since April. I absolutely love it. More than enough power for everyday use and it handles way better than it probably should. I would have loved a 650 Classic but obviously thats not available "yet". I did look at the 350's and they are beautiful but, they just aren't quick enough to keep up with traffic. Great review fella. 👍
Thanks Mark!!! Appreciate it dude! Thanks for sharing your personal experience that’s absolutely the best review this bike can get as people are trying to figure out which to choose and what to drop their hard armed money on 🤓
