LOVE this bike! Now I might have been a little off on the price of this bike new. Right now online it is showing starting price of $10,999.
Once you calculate dealer fees (freight/prep), the bike is gonna be 13-15k OTD. I just bought a Indian Scout with zero add-ons and it was not 11k lol
They are really great bikes in my opinion. Other than starter and crank sensor no problems. My HARLEY buddys hate it but love it. Hate because not HARLEY but love it because nasty looking and loud,fast,power. Good dudes though.
Within a 150 miles of me, there are only 8 Used Indian Scouts for sale, all asking for 1-2 grand less than a new model. I'm know nothing about the Motorcycle market, but this does say to me, this has be good bike, owners are not parting with them and hanging on to them.
That is a job to be proud of!
Hearing reviews like this makes me proud to be one of the many people that build these bikes for the world 🙏❤️
You helped build the Indians? 🤔
@@jayf3858 yes assembly line in spirit lake Iowa
@@deezybluffs2541 outstanding!! I was medically discharged out the Army after 7yrs! Had a hard time adjusting and still do! Heard from a veteran that riding is a good outlet for the mind. Just got my endorsement last week! Indian scout bobber is the dream! You recommend that for a first bike for a first time rider?
@@jayf3858 it is a great bike for beginners and experienced riders I prefer the scout rogue simply for the mini ape hangers and the quarter fairing but all in all the same bike.. And I can guarantee every bike is built with love and with the customer comfort at heart. I personally have my hands on over 500 bikes from the scout line up and even more on FTR’s..You can also a shift indicator on the speedometer to help with knowing when to shift gears 👍
@@deezybluffs2541 beautifully said!! I hear the only down side is dealership maintenance. Not many Indian mechanics opposed to Harley’s. I’ve read that, you break down on a Harley, you’re fixed in 2hrs. Where an Indian, barley any luck! Yea I just saw the rogue but I think the scout bobber body style is clean and aggressive lol
The thing I love about this bike is how it gives off this WW1 messenger feel with the whole “scout” look
Oh yeah I can see it now! 😄👍
Definitely getting that vibe. Imagine a solider who goes fast as possible to deliver a letter on the front.
Had a scout for a couple of years, still to this day it's one of my favorite bikes I've ever owned. I went to a larger bike because (as stated in the video) if you're going to do longer rides/trips, the scout can be a little small/lacking. And I came to that conclusion after riding my Scout from Utah down to San Diego and back over 5 days. Now don't get me wrong, I've gone farther on much lesser bikes. the scout has amazing power for it's size and is second to none on the looks. I'm just not in my 20's anymore and can afford bikes set up for longer rides now lol. But to this day, this bike remains one of the coolest most fun bikes I've ever owned and plan to get another one when I have the extra room and money.
That’s good to hear! I to want to own this bike one day! It truly is a great looking bike but can be lacking in some areas. Just like with any bike, they are not all perfect. Some things you can fix though with some modifications.
Well said
Great video Eric!! It awesome to hear what someone that mainly rides sport bikes thinks about the Scout Bobber. I'm glad you liked it! I have close to 25k miles on mine and I'm still in love! Shout out to MotoScout and Doodle for pointing me your way! Subscribed!
Thanks! MotoScout and Doodle are awesome peeps! Yeah I don’t discriminate anything on two wheels. Although my preference is sport bikes, I like some of the cruisers as well! 🙌
I think we're trolling all the same bike channels!
I have the Bobber Sixty version as my first bike, loving every second of it!
Just got a scout bobber as my first bike, already love the damn machine. 0 complaints so far. Thought 1000cc would be rough to control but it’s real smooth
I think it's an 1130cc
@@jadenantal1652it is 👍
Indian will always be the first American motorcycle manufacturer!
Love Indian Bobbers! Great to see more content and a variety of bikes!
I have two sport bikes and a 2020 Scout Bobber. It's looks are amazing and the performance isn't a huge drop off. It gets as much, if not more attention as my classic sport bikes. I love it!! Great video
See us sport bike riders can appreciate and enjoy cruisers like the Scout Bobber too! 🙌
I have a 2019 with pipes, aftermarket seat an afew other extras. Absolutely love it.
As a proud ISB owner, this video confirms my thoughts on the bike!
It's such an awesome and incredible bike! So beautiful I love everything about this bike!
I have a 2019 Scout bobber and love it. I’ve owned a Yamaha,Honda,triumph now Indian. Very happy
I really enjoyed your video. I like your real world reaction to how this bike feels. I haven't ridden a bike in around 23 years, so I had some catching up to do. I had picked up a brand new 2022 Scout classic just last Friday (August 12th). I'm use to riding dirt bikes and dual sports, so it took some adjusting to get use to this bike. The fit and feel is as though this bike was specifically designed for me. I'm 5'8" and I have put on a bit of extra weight. I definitely had to get use to the forward controls, I'm use to having them directly in line with my hips.
I love how indian had designed this bike. Every time that I get on it to ride I have a smile on my face. I also get a lot of looks from people either in parking lots or passing by because the Scout is truly a good looking bike.
Thank you for your video! I enjoyed watching it.
Hey congrats on the bike! I can’t wait to get one myself! Yes it’s a looker and performs well. I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Have fun with the new bike and ride safe!
It’s a beautiful bike, I’ve been seeing them in my area lately. I love it when people say it’s a great first bike! Man, I’d have lived this as a my first bike OR my current bike. 👍🏻
That bikes looks awesome out of the box. Indian is crushing everyone else in looks design. And that also a good looking engine..
I have a scout bobber. I really enjoy riding it. Daily commuter for me personally. I’m not a huge fan of the forward controls though.
Have a 21 Scout bobber. Love my bike 🥰 Coming off of sports bikes and my R1 previously, she was exactly what I wanted.
Nice! There seems to be a lot of sport bike riders switching over to this bike.
I just picked up the '23 model and am absolutely in love. All of your observations are spot on. It is so fun to ride. I will likely replace the stock exhaust, which is huge and way too quiet, and probably one of the main things owners upgrade. Great video.
Hey thanks! Glad to see you are liking the bike! Yeah the exhaust is always one of the first upgrades on a bike! Lol
What a beautiful cruiser, always wanted to try one. Solid review 👊🏽
Thanks! It’s a beautiful bike for sure!
Luke Barlow customs has the scout Bobber turboed and it is a pretty awesome machine! I also enjoyed my time on the scout bobber fun good equipment handles well !
As someone whose considering switching from sport to cruiser this was a helpful video! Indian has intrigued me over the years this will nudge me further in that direction 💪🏽
You’d be making a good choice!
I'm just about sold on this bike. Currently on a GSXR but I need something more comfortable and practical for touring.
@@dilldowschwagginz2674 I think I may look at this as an addition when I’m not riding my sport bike! 😅
I have a ‘20 Bobber in Bronze w ABS, and the Indian OEM 2-into-one exhaust w OEM performance intake and factory upgraded tune for those. Absolutely love it.
A little surprised you find the original seat comfortable - maybe you haven’t had enough time on it yet. A lot of people did the seat very uncomfortable as I did. Indian sells an OEM “ comfort seat” for this bike and it looks similar to the original but a little wider and taller at the tailbone and WAAAAAY more comfortable. Reasonably priced too and made a huge difference.
The bike gets looks and compliments every time I ride. The power and smoothness of the transmission are tremendous. Best bike I’ve ever owned. As far as cruise control, I added an Atlas Throttle lock which works great. Also added a National Cycle Deflector wind screen which is low profile, quick disconnect and not obtrusive looking or detracting from the look of the bike but a big difference on sustained highway speed rides.
Ahh yes I didn’t have long in the seat but maybe over time it could feeling not so co comfortable. Throttle lock is a good inexpensive way to go for long rides.
Thanks for showing the cruisers some love!
Get mini floor boards....Big difference! plus you can position your feet back when in sharp turns, etc...
I've always ridden sport bikes but this bike has had my attention for a while now 👍
Same here! Definitely on my list of bikes to get! 👍
Great video thank you. I’ve been wondering about that bike myself appreciate the video man.
No problem!
Love these first ride videos keep them coming bro
Thank you! 👍👍
@@itsmeericb yesss sirrr
Just bought my Rogue Scout and it's the best cruiser i've ever ridden. Fast, comfortable, and light. Oh and sexy as hell. 😁👍🏻
Ive owned many bikes from cruisers to sport bikes. I own a 2022 Scout Bobber and yes, this bike has a lot of sport bike character to it, more than any other cruiser if you dont include muscle cruisers like Ducati Diavel, eg. In the discussion. Great bike!
@Rain What did you decide? I was wondering the same thing between this or a Vulcan S
nice ride + nice place to ride = awesome
That Honda is SICK!!!
awesome first ride, Eric! Loved talking with you about this!
Thanks! I enjoyed riding this bike!
GREAT BIKE FOR A 70 YEAR OLD LIKE ME .. NOT SO HEAVY LIKE MY OTHER ONES...
Good review, and you were spot on with your observations. I own the standard version with ABS. Coming from various HD's, I never seen myself on something like this. Now it turns out to be perfect for my age and style of riding. Sadly, it is in cryogenic sleep for another 6 weeks (WI) but cannot wait for spring. New models do not have much tech yet, like cruise control, but never had it on any bike before, and survived. Once again, well done review.
Mike
Okay good to know on the newer models! Thanks! 😃
I raced sport bikes for 8 years, haven't rode on the street in over a decade but I've been thinking about picking one of these up for some street riding again. I'm not a fan of cruisers but something about this bike makes me want one.
I was never a fan of cruisers either!
AWESOME video man!
Thanks! 😃
I’m a Triumph Thunderbird guy but this one is growing on me.
i think i need to test ride one. loving that style
Great review, this has to be my dream bike
Thanks! I want to eventually own one as well! 💪
for the scout, 5th and 6th gear are eco mode. For freeway riding, I didn't really see a point to 6th unless I was really trying to haul ass. Bike is wonderful and there's a lot of mods available.
Way to go!!
Thanks Doodle!
Wow, one of my favorite motovloggers doing a video on my bike? You love to see it!
😃😁
Riding everything makes me a "bike guy".
I'm only 28 but it always surprises old bikers when I say "If it has two wheels and can move forward under its own power, I'm into it. Brakes and starters are just a luxury!"
That said, these are the ultimate cruiser for anybody under 6'2". Bit low and short for me! Power is surprising even when stepping off of sport bikes.
Yes I found that out real quick with how low it sits. Haha!
Just getting mine next Monday titanium with rear shocks upgraded to piggyback rear shocks...can't wait
The piggyback shocks will be a nice upgrade
I have had a lot of different bikes, fast bikes, slow bikes, powerfull bikes, low and high bikes, but not one was cool as this bobber. I love it and have improved it, because i am gonna keep it👍❤️. I am 6,2 and no problems after i have moved the footpegs 4" to the front.
Nice! Yeah I will eventually have one in my collection. 💪
Did you only move the footpegs? I'm just shy of 6'3 and have been concerned about the size of the bike.
@SkintSNIPER262 no, i also switched the orig handlebar to the Indian 1920. I drove bigger bikes before, but this bike is so much fun to ride. Because off my bag i have installed the progressive 444, 11,5inch shocks in the bag and the Legend Axeo suspension fork spring kit 41mm in the front.
You can get ABS on both the regular scout and the 60. No change in electronics. The modes and cruise control is on the new Chief.
Ahh okay thanks for the clarification! 👍👍
I love this bike so much that i bought one 😂
Great review, just rode it a few days ago for 20 minutes, such a great bike but stiff and definitely not for highway.
Just got my ISB. It’s my first bike and I love it.
Congrats! 👏💪
The stretched low stance on the bike is so sick. Honestly thinking of swapping from my sport bike to one of these next riding season
You won't regret it. Just needs better shocks and it's primo. Just got a 21 twenty.
I traded my 2018 Ninja 400 for a 2022 Scout Bobber and I couldn't be happier.
@@brianhanlon9602 nice I’m getting rid of my Z400 right now so same bike just naked
The design of this bike is a work of art. Still no other bike design can match it's stance and beauty. Thanks for the amazing video, one of the best about the scout Bobber.
Nice jacket too, bike specific?
Thanks! I got it a couple years back. Always wanted a nice leather jacket for my sport bike lol. I think it’s setup more for sport bike riding.
Definitely one of the best looking bikes out there without looking too goofy or going over the top. I personally love the bobber style when there are mini ape handle bars on them, its the cherry on top for me
Awesome review. Thanks Eric
Thanks and you’re welcome!
I sold my Honda Vtx 1800c and bought my first American brand Indian Scout Bobber 1133cc. Great choice and great taste on bikes!!
Scout bobber twenty?
This was so cool! I’m looking into getting my motorcycle license and maybe getting a bike similar to this for myself !
That’s awesome! You’ll love it! Good luck on getting your license! 👏
I had a scout 60. I put 15k on it. Was my best bike I have owned
Being Liquid cooled is a plus in it's self, I wish the gas tank held more fuel
I have that bike, but in the matte black. I have that exact exhaust, but added the Trask Performance intake, and the PV3 tune from FuelMoto and that really woke up that v-twin. Love the bike, and it’s amazing around town, but that stock seat could be used as a medieval torture device, so I went with a custom Corbin. I added an electronic cruise control, but it’s still an around town bike. I bought an Indian Springfield Darkhorse for the long rides.
Nice! I didn’t know you could add cruise control them these bikes! I bet the Corbin seat is nice!
@@itsmeericb The cruise control from McCruise is wonderful. Works flawlessly.
I just bought a Vulcan Classic 900 for my first bike, with cobra dragster pipes lol Bit, for my next bike I definitely want a Scout of if I can afford it, a Chief
Love it ! just wish they gave you an option of the Displays, if you like the TFT style you can upgrade if you like the original style you can leave it. Aside of that for "Me" I love the look!
Yeah I wish they did have a digital display like the Harley variant. Still a great looking bike!
I have an identical bike 2020. Same slip ons, I put on a mustang seat for comfort. It’s a fun machine. Got it new. 11k miles in. 0 issues. I can only ride it for 1hr 30 mins on the highway non stop before my sciatica pain starts hitting me. Seating position becomes uncomfortable for those long rides. Stock seat sucked IMO, hard as a rock. I always get compliments on it.
Nice! I was wondering if long rides would be an issue. The stock seat is okay but does need something better. 👍👍
I have a 2018 Scout 60 and I don't know if I'll ever be able to own another brand of bike - I freaking love mine!
It’s a very enjoyable bike!
I just bought one in Jade Green Smoke. It feels fantastic... much better than a Harley after learning on one imo. Very little shakes, just enough quality of life features and handsome looks.
That’s a nice color. I’ve only bee on two Harleys, I’m a fan of the Indian styling.
@@itsmeericb Me too! I like the colors more and the overall design is very retro/modern. It's not too old looking but it's not super new and sleek looking either. It's got a very nice balance to it!
Have one and a Harley sport glide but I love this one
Is it due to the size or the sportiness?
I actually like the halogen light on this bike
The standard (base model) Scouts don't have ABS but there are ABS versions (+1k). None of them have ride modes, cruise control, or any tech beyond a USB power port on the right of the speedo. Really early models (2018 or so) didn't have the USB as a stock option but it could be added later. The FTR and most of the other Indian cruisers have a bunch of tech. The rumor is that they will be updating the Scout line maybe next year with the digital touchscreen gauges, ride modes, and CC but nothing has been announced.
This is good info! Great to know! Thanks for dropping some knowledge on us! 💪😃
honestly not a bad thing. Less tech to fix once something goes wrong.
Love from India💯💯
That’s a good looking bike…nice review
Thanks! It’s sure is! 💪
bro, just stumbled on your video looking for bobber videos. Love your tiktok dude
Ayyye! Haha! Thanks! 😃
I had a scout and sportster.
If you are a sportbike guy, don't bother with the harley. Go with the indian, sence it is a liquid cooled vtwin you will get the smother feel and the vibration is minimal.
the absolute truth about the scout is if a ducati V2 got converted to a cruiser this is it. (Minus 45hp) the frame is engine mounted and it's a 2 piece. (same as ducati)
The fuel economy I got was 45 /55 and the transmission oil both shared the same as engine at 15w60. There is no fuel guage and you fill up every 125 miles.
With the scout exhaust it's also cut out plugged. Which means that you can cut out the 2 plugs on each muffler and it will turn into a slip on w/1 cat. Or you can leave 1 plug in and it will give it a little more tone.
Oh nice heck yeah!
LOVE the look of this bike. I’m 6’1” and currently ride a VTX 1800 which fits me perfectly. Is this bike a little small for a guy my size?
Cheers
Some will say so but I feel fine on it and I am 6’1. My wife was riding beside me and said I looked big on it. 😂
It sounds awesome
Great video and review!
I have had my 2021 Scout Bobber in Matte Black and I love it. I have a stage one intake, exhaust and tune! And man it flies. I have also changed the handlebar grips, added mini apes (so comfy), headlight, seat, front and rear turn indicators and brake lights and did some pin striping myself. I love the fact that it has no tech. Just me and the road…..and the wind.. might add a cafe faring! 🤣
Anyway. Subscribed!
Hey thank you! Nice upgrades! What’s the longest you have ridden it with the new handle bars?
@@itsmeericb about 70 ish minutes to my sons basketball game and then less than an hour later 70 minutes home. I’m about your height and it lets me sit-up right a bit more and puts less strain on my back, but aren’t too high to make my arms fall asleep. For me, they are perfect. But I do love the look of the stock bars or even a track bar with risers.
@@MattB13 Ahhh okay not too bad! And you are still rocking the stock seat?
@@itsmeericb no sir. It’s up there. 👆🏻I upgraded to the comfort seat. Good lip in the back so I don’t slide on to the fender when I rip it. And soft enough to keep my colon out of my throat when I get those NC potholes! 😂
@@MattB13 Oh my bad! I missed it! HAHAHA!! Well good to know the seat is better for you! 😂
Haha I just bought my 1st Indian Scout Bobber, traded in my Yamaha MT07.. and the peg position change is Real! Lol I love my Scout
Hey! Nice! More grunt than the MT-07?
@@itsmeericb it's similar but different in a way. I haven't really maxed out the Scout like I did with the MT07, I'm still adjusting to the new riding style. But right now I can say I'm going to enjoy the Scout more.
i beat on my cout all day, love that bike.
Such a sexy bike. I'm considering ordering one from the factory. Also, 570# is not heavy for a cruiser.
2016 mine is. Heavily modified (165 hp/ 140 torque and down to 460 lbs). LOVE IT! 240 fat tire,etc,etc. Only problem (starter & crank sensor).
Man I bet that thing scoots! 😮💪
@@itsmeericb Yes it does. Was pretty kick ass stock but a monster now. Best thing I like is it's a SLEEPER! Many have called it a girls bike,small ( LAUGHING). UNTIL I TOOK THEIR MONEY.( LAUGHING). It has a little bit of a reputation here in TOLEDO,MAUMEE Ohio area.
@@itsmeericb Trying to find place,someone to help with 130mph limit. Going to have to change front or rear belt,sprocket for more speed. I think tach set at 130mph.
@@itsmeericb A buddy got mdium,high 9 quarter mile.
@@richardkrause9692 probably hang with most sport bikes low to mid range!
2:04 - damn, thats why you got cred . nice.
Great review!
Thanks!
I want one of these bad... nice looking bike.
Nice review Eric. How tall are you? Wondering if any mods would make it more comfortable or if it’s set up nicely out if the box. I’m 5’11” thanks brother.
Thanks! I’m about 6’2 so with you being 5’11, you’d fit just fine on it. Not sure about other mods to make it more comfortable.
Thanks for the reply man. Good to know. Love the look of this bike.
Can’t imagine if you actually rev it all the way up! You would love it a little bit more.
I own one and i love it
Anybody know if these exhaust would fit the new Indian scout rogue?
It's easy to tell which RUclipsrs play a lot of MMO Shooters. The ones where you see your gun being reloaded.
I just got. 2019 Indian Scout a month ago. Love it. My first bike. Only problem I have is the engine noise in my helmet. I use wax plugs an my ears still ring. Any suggestions? Thanks. Awesome video! 🤘🤘
Awesome! So I wear ear plugs as well. You may want to try a different type. I use some for motorcycles called Loop.
Oh no. I accidentally stumbled upon this video and I have just fallen in love. I currently have a 2009 HD Nightster, all black, lovely bike but hardly ridden, less than 1100 miles! Now like a kid in a sweet shop I want this bike badly. I am torn! I need to get out and ride more😫😫😫
It’s hard not to fall in love with it! I took it for a spin and was sold! 🙌
Hi great vid! U said the owner don't recommend to do long trips with this bike, got me curious, why is that? specially If you ad a windshield and a better seat, wouldn't the bobber do the a comfy job ?
I think he was referring to the seat and possibly the position due to the lower handlebars.
Loved the video man, and appreciated every suggestion
But I would ask you
Is it ok if I buy and start driving this Beauty as a second motorcycle when my first is a 250cc?
Would it be too much of a change?
Thanks! If you have already been riding a 250 for a while I don’t see why you couldn’t step up to this. It is a lot more powerful so just take it easy the first little bit.
Thanks for the advice, I do want to master a much more the 250 I have so when I have the bobber I can have the ability to know how to respond in case of anything, but I was thinking on waiting for a year or two tops to get the Bobber, what do you think?
I went from a 2007 ZX6R to a 2020 Scout 20. Zero regrets
Haha! That’s awesome! Need a little change sometimes!
They don't come stock turned down. I preferred mine up.
Mine also has stock pipes looking at after .markets
Hello, thanks for the video.
The back (rear wheel suspension) of my Twenty Bobber squeaks when it bounces (goes through bumps). I removed the springs/shock absorbers and oiled/greased the bearings. no idea. Can you give me a hint?
It is loud and you can hear it while driving.
Hmm I am not too sure about that one as I am more of a sport bike rider and haven’t really encouraged squeaking suspension. Maybe the seals? Hopefully someone else watching this video can assist!
If you can sometime. Check out a 2020 Yamaha VMAX 👍🏻
Would like to see a comparison of the Indian scout bobber and the Harley Davidson Fatboy
I’ll have to try and get my hands on a fat boy
Love it.
I just purchased one,2021 scout Bobber, great power down falls,hard ride mine has after market saddle and pillion seat and sissy bar my partner doesn't like the pillion seat
Pillion too hard?
Thanks for making this bro! I’m 6”0 and I was worried it would be too small. I’m going for my license in April, do you think it’s a decent starter?
I don’t think it’s a bad bike to start on but I’m not an expert in the cruiser category when it comes to recommending starter bikes. It does have some grunt but I think you’ll be okay. Just take it easy at first.
Did you end up getting one colllin? I’m going for my license April 30th. Then I’ll be on the hunt on a motorcycle, will also be my first
@@ivanconejo5869 no 😔 I live in NH and the closest used Indian scout bobber I could find was in PA which is over 500 miles. And the dealerships near me wanted $1500+ in dealership fees. I just got my class done today and ended up getting a Honda cbr 600rr. I’m 27 so I figured I might as well get a sports bike while I have some of my 20s left. But I plan on getting one for my second bike for sure.
@@pigeonsquishV2 gotcha. I’m also looking at the triumph bonneville bobber, I’m 29. Congrats on your license
I bought a 2018 ISB as my first bike in 2018. I am so happy to not buy something smaller as I don't feel the need to trade it now that I am used to riding. It gets up to speed very quickly. The seat is very uncomfortable on longer rides and the stock pipes are very quiet. Those are my only real main complaints. It would be nice to have a fuel guage as well and another gallon fuel capacity.
So i am very novice when it comes to motorcycles, did you do/add anything to your bike before this video was made, or is that how the Scout Bobber comes off the showroom floor? (just wondering because I am loving the exhaust sound)
Just has the exhaust on it and that’s it. Everything else is factory.
@@itsmeericb oh wow! That is awesome! What sort of exhaust did you put on it?
I have a vulcan 650s right now, it's my first bike. I really want a scout rouge, in due time
It’s really an awesome bike!
