7:40 "I don't think you're supposed to fill the tank with THAT!" haha
My buddy just got one in the bronze smoke color. Looks so sick in person. Mean stance, smooth power.
Good review, after watching several videos I knew I had to have it. Got it in October of last year and couldn’t be happier.
F.N.G Moto how much mileage from a full tank ?
Just bought the exact color SB two weeks ago, and it feels like it was made just for me. Best ride ever.
I just ordered mine and I just want to ride with it!!
Thanks for the video test.
Cheers from France
V
Ced Ric Excellent choice!!!
It's really a awesome looking bike 😍
I just bought a 2021 Scout Bobber Abs in White Smoke, Love it 😁👍
My dream bike right there...I saw the first preview photos andddd almost wet myself lol once I get the money,it will be mine..no hesitation lmao
GsxrGrl21 have you got one yet ?
If so... pros and cons ?
Im thinking of getting one too.
Awesome video thank you so much for sharing I have a 2018 Scout Bobber I absolutely love it
I had a '15 Scout in the matt black, which I loved. I traded it in on my '16 Chieftain, but I wish I would have kept my Scout as well.
Sitting on unicorns? Dude...
Nice videography man, excellent work, badass ride as well
Thanks brotha!
thanks for the great review! Awesome bike, I love it! Next time maybe comment on the suspension and the handling... curves, turns and acceleration... thanks!
Awesome bike. Wouldn't mind having one myself.
You and me both haha
Great review and into, Indian is so beautiful..!!
Cool video. Yes, you can have both. Of course, two different class. One to have super-super fun. And the other a fun laid back and have your lady relax on back. This is one of the 3 upright bike I want, the other two are Ducati diavel or triumph thruxton r. Very hard decision
Sooooo much more desirable than a Harley.
I gotta stop watching these, makes me want to go get one.
Wish you guys did some twisties in order to see if they become a problem for the bike clearance. Otherwise this is a beautiful review of an jaw dropping bike.
I was on one of these and felt really cramped. I'm 6.1 230 lbs. they said they could move the pegs further forward. But I freakin love this bike.
Dude I just puchased the Bronze Smoke Scout Bobber from Big #1 that very same day. Already broke in with first service and now at 600miles. The Vance&Hines grenades exhaust really brings out the inner beast in this bike. I definitely love the bike. Great review and I agree with you about the seat, it's really the only draw back(if you would call it a draw back because it looks damn good). I subscribed and thanks for your review man.
How big are you? I’m 6’2 240 and looking to pick one up but wondering if I’d be too big for the bike
I'm 6'2" 230 lbs and the Bobber fits me fine. I was also considering the Harley Forty Eight but I looked like an ape on that thing, the Indian fits me much better, not to mention, its just cooler, more modern, more powerful, etc. SUPER happy I bought this bike!
Nice! I just got one as well and just had it in for the 500 mile. Did you happen to have any squeaky brakes for the first bit? My bike seems to be a little squeaky when I apply the brakes a little harder then typical. I told the maintenance and they just shrugged it off and said the brakes look fine
Yep, my brakes squeaked a bit, didn't happen until I had about 350 miles on it...but now it seems to have stopped. I'm guessing they just take a bit to break in.
Chad Osiris awesome! Thanks for your reply! I’ll just wait and see if it stops soon.
Wasn’t a fan of the seat
Or the fuel range
But other than that it’s a sweet ass bike!
Jool what’s the fuel range ?
I traded my 17 Bobber for an 19 in Bronze Bobber with black poweder coated SPOKES INSTEAD OF THE AWFUL MAGSI CHANGED MY GAUGE POD UP AND I ALSO SWAPED MY SEAT FOR SMALER BATES STYLE SOLO SEAT WHICH i bolted it to the frame ,bought an ACCURIDE AIRSUSPENSION WJICHBWILL DROP IT 6 INCHES..I ALSO HAD MIKE THE YOUNGER Brother BUILD ME A CUSTOM RSR-CB 2 into 1
nice video just have to disagree with 6 ft 1 been average or maybe I'm biased ? as I'm 5ft 10 and don't want to think I'm short
I'm 6ft 6, and wish this bike was bigger. :(
Enjoyed your review, excellent. I just want one. Thanks again. All the way from Australia . . .
Ricky Rollason thanks man! I appreciate the kind words. Glad you enjoyed it
I am not American brand lover in automobiles but indian is exception....my only dream bike
msk389 Check Out the Street Tracker concept they may release. It’s gorgeous !!!!!
Hope Polaris adds a line to Indian that has aesthetics of Vegas bikes since they shut down Victory
I had a Indian Scout Sixty (check my review). Loved that bike. I am definitely looking at getting the bobber.
Would like to know how come no one ever comments on small fuel tank horrible range
Have You ever had a bee/yellowjacket fly into Your sleeve with these short gloves? I’d be freaking out with this setup.
The street tracker concept better come out soon!!!!!
That's great how the roadmaster in front of you is on it! You can hardly keep up with him. LOL!
He wasn't able to get on it. They told him to keep the RPMs at about 3500, probably still in its break in period. It will run past a Roadmaster with the difference in weight if you get to open it up.
Yo! Philly boy! Been a while...watched this damn thing 3x. Going for a test and possible purchase on Monday , were the same height so that gives me hope!
Go Philles(Sixers and Flyers choked but had good seasons)
I bought one for the shite roads in LA since my rigid custom made me pee blood. i wish it had one more gear (kinda slow) and the gas tank is visually misleading, doesn't hold much. other than that i love it.
that engine sound is intoxicating! I love that reminds me of VFR800
Fair warning my starter just went out on my bobber only 4 months old other than it's a little pitbull
6:14 did you hit ground? You wheren't leaning that much?!
In euro measurements 1133cc 94bhp 97nm what I read on the Swedish Indian site. Dry weight 245kg
nah the guy 2 in front of me scraped!
luv it bought one today. lucky boy
Triumph scrambler/ Indian scout Bobber 😍
I like both of them
Please Suggest me one 🤔
I want that bike. Wonder why abs is standard on the plaid black.
Bike looks amazing but i am not a fan of the mirrors at the end of the grips
Hey! Just came across this video and noticed you were at Big Number #1. Were local. Sub you guy.
I love it do u think it will ride two up with a added seat
Thanks for the video! Got a like from me. I appreciate the honest feedback. Have you ever ridden an FZ-07, and if so, could you compare/contrast the riding comfort? I own an FZ-07 currently, but it's a bit small for me at 6' tall and I've been looking for upgrades for a while, casually looking at the cruiser options as I'm not at all interested in supersports. When the Scout Bobber was revealed I instantly fell in love with the aesthetic of the bike. Probably the most gorgeous bike I've ever seen, well at least seen online. I plan on going to test ride one once I get some money saved up for half the MSRP as a down payment, but I'm curious what your more detailed thoughts are about the bike. Thanks again for the video!
i have ridden an FZ-07 in a test ride (I have a video of it if you want to check it out) but the riding comfort on the bobber was better in my opinion. The seat on the bobber is smaller but much more comfortable. Both riding positions arent bad, but the seating on the bobber is a little more reclined than the FZ. On the FZ the handle bars are closer to your chest it feels like. Both comfortable, but i think the bobber is definitely a smoother ride. Thanks for watching! I appreciate it
Did you end up getting the bike? By the way I’m only 14 but Indians are just an absolute passion for me since my dad got a silver smoke
Very nice looking bike.
Good to see Polaris make a Bobber.
Mark Jacobs Good to see someone say Polaris and not indian. These are not Indians. Nice bike but it is not an India or a bobber . All these companies making bikes and calling them bobbers is funny goes against what a bobber is.
Hey Dude, Where have you been? Great review! I'm a HD guy and I'm leaning towards a new Softail Slim. But Damn!
Funny you sound like you more from my neck of the woods in PA. Great Review!
haha thanks man!
Dang, Rob. We went to the same Demo day and somehow missed each other. I did a review on the Scout Bobber too! Lol
damn haha. Did you have a black helmet on? There was one other guy there i remember that was recording with a mic. not sure if that was you or not
Nah, I got a louder red/blue helmet. I came in on Saturday and road the Bobber/Sixty. Based out of Montgomery. Good review, though! I'll be on the lookout for you at the next demo Big #1 has!
ah gothca. Nice man! Same to you, hope to meet you at a future event
I'm sure the bike is great! I couldn't wait for the first Scout to come out. I was hoping the engine would be more like the 111. I just think the engine is ugly! Just my opinion, but it's a deal breaker for me.
BuckWheat55, TS 111 has about 70 or so HP give or take and my CFN weighs about 900 loaded . The Scout has 100 HP and weighs about 565. Go figure. Everyone is welcome to their perspective on beauty. I think both the TS 111 and the Scout Engines are Masterpieces of Sculpture. Not being nasty,just my 2 cents.
I believe the TS111 makes 98hp. You may be quoting a dyno figure at the wheels for the TS vs. crank for the Scout.
You should test ride the x diavel
Did they iron out the rough as guts suspension the Scout has.
'It feels great to sit on it, it feels like sitting on pillows and Unicorns and everything awesome in the world .. ' 😂👏
How bad is the issue with the pegs touching the ground in turns? 🤔
Awesome vid. That bike is a beast.
above 4k rpm when real power kicks in
looks like a vrod and a sportster had a baby
bike is really nice looking. I'm debating between buying a scout bobber or supercharging my mustang. one thing though, I heard a lot of people complaining about the lean angle and rear suspension travel. in you opinion does it handle well for a cruiser?
I didn't notice it, but ive heard that from people before. I thought it handled pretty nicely
Street Renegade I come from a sport bike background and this bike in how it turns in initially and flicks side to side amazed me. I usually don't like cruisers but this was great to ride. With that said, it scrapes pegs about as quick as I did with a 2018 Fat Bob but still much better than the 18 Street Bob.
Does it really lean towards the right ??
what is the mpg on these bikes? can't find it anywhere
I was wondering if someone can tell me, I'm thinking to buy one of these I just got license I'm 6'3 200 pounds is this motorcycle ok with my height?
Man you funny hahah thanks for the review thou - not that many solid reviews out there.
If only this beauty had wider tires
i've never been this early before lawl
same lmao
This silver or bronze? I can't decide.
Bobber would be a great bike if Indian hadn’t put the controls too far forward.
I didn't know they even made this in silver??? Maybe the website's lying to me?
is there and Indian dealership in state? I love Indians so much
Not sure but Big 1 Motorsports in bham is a licensed Indian dealer!
ScadoodleMyNoodle since Indian is owned by polaris most dealers that sell polaris can order you an Indian, that's what I had to do.
That’s the only Indian I like
New to riding. What is the point of wearing gloves other than throttle grip? Thanks.
If you go down they protect your hands from getting ripped apart, plus usually hands can get sweaty and make it difficult to use the throttle and stuff so they're mainly for protection and to prevent sweaty slippery hands on the throttle
And when it's cold, cold hands suck.
Matthew Clifford : If you ever kiss the pavement,besides all that can get broken and "roadrashed" you can experience some serious Pain when the hide gets ground off of your palms and fingertips. I wear gloves. Not being snarky with you Matt.
Raymun Chieftain 'preciate it!
How tall are you ?
6'1"
RR Rob919 is 6'2" too tall for this bike?
Sad part is that there is hardly any Indian left who can enjoy it's ride.
NAmerican pop is increasing. By 2060 it will be 2.4% of the population.
A good informative video, well done, I enjoyed it. Two observations though;- Firstly the excitement when firing the bike up !! LOL, really,..... a modern water-cooled twin. Have you never fired up a Honda CBX1000 or maybe an air-cooled four with open pipes, or a Ducati with open pipes?? LOL. Secondly, crikey your roads are crap. Every video that I see of American roads are the same, How do you guys put up with potholes and tarmac breaking up? They must be really bad in the rain.
haha im sorry! I never ride cruisers so no unfortunately i have never ridden a water-cooled twin or fired up a CBX1000. and yeah the roads here blow. its horrible in the rain, you cant see the pot holes. thanks for watching!
LOL, yeah I was just kind of joking a bit. I do find the sound to be a bit disappointing but it's the same with most modern bikes isn't it? They all have these noise regulations to meet. I really like the rest of the bike and you could always put after market pipes on it, but it's added cost. I just thought it was quite funny to see your excitement when starting it up. Sorry, Rob, just my little joke. Keep enjoying the ride;- if you can on those roads :-/
If you ain't scraping you ain't riding hard enough
i want one! :)
Scout 60 is 60ci. Bobber 69ci
Scout>>>Scout Bobber
awesome bike but that opening music needs to go lol
Any idea what the MPG is on this bike?
Not sure. Probably something you could google though
I have googled it. I assume the bike is too new and no one has shared the mileage online yet.

Hey, let's do a video, a bad ass video of a bad ass bike, and let's use really gay techno European dance music to introduce it.
Your intro music almost made me turn off. Nice bike, but I don't like the feet-forward riding position.
Hijacked from Triumph line.
The whole idea behind a bobber is to lighten the scooter for ease of handling as well as the "naked" look. So how come this "bobber" weighs more than the original Scout and handles just as poorly? It needs to lose about 75 lbs. easy to do with this bike and should not increase price point a bit; matter of fact, it should lower the price a snick, but would cost a small fortune for an owner to do himself/herself. And most of these mods would make this bike handle sooooo much better. It's quick, I'll give 'em that, but if that's what you're after, less weight would make it even quicker, if that's important to you.
Dude the fucking music! Wtf
That's not the right music to showcase that bike
Deal breaker: No instrument cluster, no passenger seat. 12K$ for a bike with no passenger seat, no thanks, I'm good.
John Harris, it's a Bobber Dude. If you have'nt ridden a Scout? Try it then. Indian is selling all they make.
It's $150 for the pillion seat for the normal Scout. The one for the bobber should be around the same price. Believe me, the base bike is worth every penny. I have 23,000 miles on my '16 Scout so far.
STOP DISNEYLAND MUSICS!!
Why play such gayass music for such a raw piece of machine ! Damn shove edm everywhere!
Nice bike...crappy music.
In India it's cost is US$22000 lol😂😂😂😂😂
History? Come on, it’s Polaris. It’s a regeneration, stolen history(stolen valor). Just as Victory was Polaris very awesome and super reliable rides. After saying that the scout bobber does look awesome. I don’t understand why it’s the classic looks that sell? But then again Dodge Challenger sweet ride, just prefer the Stangs. Polaris just scored with this country’s love of the retro style, but how long does it last 10-15yrs? Then reinvent the brand again. Cycle, study history or your doomed to repeat/fail. Lol. Respect all the two wheelers mans best invention? It reminds me of the victory highball? A bit of victory influence naturally the octane screwed a highball ??? Octane, and it’s cousin Scout made it with a Highball, let’s get the DNA results. Lol. What’s next Hardball Scout? Indian needs another model, which victory will they pull inspiration from? Good video ride smart!
That is one FUGLY bike. It doesn't even look like a bobber; just a contrived cobbled together bunch of parts in a lame attempt to make a pretend bobber. If you gave it to me for free, I wouldn't take it. The Triumph Bobber is beautiful. This is beyond ugly.
Bohica Ranch I agree pretend bobber. A bobber is made in someone's garage. Not an indian it's a polaris.
Ugly frame, ugly tank, ugly pipes, a lot bullshit over a ugly looking bike, let RSD build a decent Indian, then I will sell one of my Harleys and buy a Indian.
