Honestly..I bought the 60 bobber for the same reason, I think the extra 3k for and extra 113cc wasn't worth it when I could spend less in performance upgrades to get the same power and I liked the blacked out cylinder heads better
I put 16000 miles in two summers on my Scout Bobber. Scouts are awesome. Just oil changes and gas. I put MCCruise cruise control on mine. Took it to a whole new level on the highway (not to mention better highway mileage because you aren’t constant modulating throttle). Anyways you can’t go wrong with the Scout if you are looking for that forward control Bobber look. The look does come at a comfort cost but if your a real Bobber fan that’s the price you pay. I constantly have Harley guys around my Bobber. They are always intrigued. I love Harleys and pretty much every bike not the road. But we all know Harley guys hate looking at anything that is not Harley lol so to see them around my Scout is always fun.
I agree 100% man! Absolutely perfect bikes. Mine gets just as much attention, everyone loves them! I do want to do a cruise control on mine, ill have to look at what you have and check it out!
Should make cruise an option factory. Thing thing cant not have it optionable when these hypernakeds lime the mt09sp has it. And the point of that thing is minimalism 😂 woth the nice quality windsheilds, optionable floorboards, cruise would be big
DANG! glad to hear from someone with more miles! Makes me happy to know I've got a crap ton more to put on my bike reliably 😁 stay safe out there my friend!
@Scooterbob Scout I plan on buying pre-owned to lower cost. As a new rider I don't need a brand new bike. I'm planning on getting the sixty over the scout. I don't remember if it was in this video or not but I watched a video where you could add some hp to it in the future. J think it's a better option to go with the lower hp while first starting out.
@Jacob Granados absolutely understand, still, 78hp stock can be intimidating sometimes. But it's plenty of power to not get super bored with either! Future power mods are a must! It only makes it that much more fun!
I bought a brand new Scout 60... This is my first bike and I just took it out for my first ever ride today. I can't stop thinking about it, it's got all the power I need as a learner *and more.* It's a Liquid cooled litre bike... Which is definitely a LOT for a new guy. I'm in love with it. People kept telling me I should have bought a Chief, but I know I need to grow into these bikes before I get massive ones. I'm a Canadian so my OTD was a bit higher than the US Dollar. $15,900 CAD.
Awesome man congrats! Welcome to the motorcycle world! Great choice for a starter bike. The chiefs are nice for sure but aren't as fast as the scouts but overall the chief would've been another great bike for a beginner. The newer bikes definitely are a bit more compared to when I bought mine but either way, enjoy your bike!
I have a 2019 Scout Sixty. Great bike. It has Dean Speed Rampage slipons,Indian performance intake and an Indian tune. I put on Progressive 444 on the rear and what a difference. I'm also going to add Progressive fork springs. You can go with the 12 inch in the rear to give a little more ground clearance.
Thats the goal man, live within your means and that was mine. It's still a scout, it's still one of the bikes I really really really wanted, so at the end of the day, im happy and thats all that matter at the end of the day! Goes for everyone as well when looking at making a purchase! Thank you for the love my friend! 🫡🤝
Those r sweet, makes it so much more comfortable! I do like my bars though because when I full tuck it makes it easier. Kinda wierd arm position with and when full tuck lol
Hi, I'm in England and I love these bikes, it took me ages though to decide what to get, in the end I went for the Rogue and now I'm just waiting for some better weather so I can get out on her, ride steady and stay safe all.
I have a 2019 Scout Sixty, and love the bike....It's power cannot be underestimated....And I have found it to be a pretty comfortable ride as well....The bike is as tough as it looks!!!!
I love how passionate you are about riding hard on your bike. You are a legit rider. Great video bro. I just turned 62 and have NOT been on a bike since I sold my Harley Street Glide 17 years ago. I decided it's time to get back on two wheels. I am an adrenaline junkie and need as much torque as possible and have always at a minimum done a stage 2. Those were the 88 twin cam engines on a 845 lb bike. I do NOT like going 100 MPH but love getting from zero to 60 as quickly as possible. I am older and not as strong as I used to be I want to go with a lighter more nimble bike. I was digging the Harley Low Rider ST with that 117 engine and fairing but bike weighs 727 lbs. I have only owned Harleys( 883, WideGlide, Softail Deluxe and Street Glide) and Somehow an Indian video popped up in my YT feed and when I saw the new Scout lineup I fell in love with the Scout. I dig the Scout more than the Harley Sporters. . From what I took away from your video, the Scout 101 with the bigger engine on a 547 lb bike would probably be a ripper because of the light weight. I live in Austin TX and want a bike to cruise around the city as well as longer 4 hour cruises in the Texas Hill Country. I would definitely change the pipes and try to squeeze as much torque out of engine as possible. Can you even do a stage 2 on a scout and change out the cam? Love to hear which bike you would go with if you had the funds to buy any model with the understanding I am a senior citizen. I seriously do not know if I could lift a bagger off the ground. Or even a 727 lb Low Rider. The other question I have is about adding a windscreen or some type of fairing. How important do you think it is having a fairing on your bike if you are NOT going cross country but short 4 hour rides? Back in the day I wore a $10 plastic brain bucket helmet just so I wouldn't get pulled over in NYC. These days almost EVERY video i watch even the most seasoned bikers are all wearing DOT 3/4 or full face helmets. Just wondering if wearing a full face helmet with the small fairing found on the Scout 101 would be sufficient to make the ride comfortable without too much buffering. Thanks again for video. You got a new subscriber.🤘
@director2bob awesome to hear you wanting to get back on 2! The scouts are great bikes and I also love the Lowrider ST but I completely understand why you want something lighter! The scouts do have fairings you can buy the reason I don't have one is it's just the style of the bobber. I thought about one but to me on this style it wouldn't really fit it. As far as the cams being changed on these yes you can change them, I think with the 1300cc kit it comes with new/bigger cams. If I had to choose a bike if I had more funds I'd just fully mod my scout to a 1300cc and definitely buy a few more bikes haha it's hard to choose just one because there's so many I like, from cruisers to naked sports all the way to sport bikes and adventures. So that said I'd have a collection! I hope you find a scout that fits your style and your ride but beware of the stiff rear suspension. There are a few company's that make inflatable seat cushions and they help ALOT, my fiancé uses one and it's helps her out alot on the long rides. I wish you luck on your adventures!! Thank you for liking the content!
@@scooterbobscout thanks for quick reply. Did you change the pipes on your bike or keep them stock? I have changed the pipes on every bike I owned except on my first bike 883 Sporty. And would for sure do the 1300 upgrade. Seems like the bike would rip on such a low weight ride. Of course need to add saddlebags but that’s all I need. Can’t wait to test drive one when I get back to TX. Safe riding my friend🙏
@director2bob yes I changed the pipes I have shorty gp slip ons it's LOUD lol and even my bike the 60 with a few mods is quick, the 1300cc kit for the scouts makes em really quick! I've had this bike to 142mph I wanted to see what it had. Again I've got intake pipes and custom tune. I plan on sending it to a dyno to try and pull a few more horses out of it at some point soon! Thank you hope you enjoy it, I should suggest riding the sport chiefs also. Those r pretty nice bikes, not as fast as the scout but a super nice bike non the less. Good luck my friend!
Im from NL and got a 2022 Scout which is almost identical to your, except the chrome and hp, but man do i love my bike.... it's a bit snowy now but i read the forecast every day to see if there would be a nice riding day coming up, ill take her out as soon as it's +5 ish degrees and not slippery even if it's for a quick short ride... man im hooked!! im only at 2200 miles on the bike but when i ride it, every kinda stress just slides off, cant wait for next season!
Doesn't matter what you ride, the freedom that comes with riding is bliss, im a first responder so my bike saves me from stress. The scout platform is amazing and I have just as much HP as you do, I've got a aftermarket intake, pipes and tune as you saw. So my 81-82hp to the wheel is around or just under your 100hp if you have the big scout but like I said, the 60 is plenty fast as is. Indian is king of the cruiser world right now due to bang for buck. No harley makes me feel the way I do on any indian (I've test rode everything they have created). Indians are just awesome bikes and the community surrounding indian motorcycles is WAY more laid back and respectful than ANY harley group or rider. The harley community is mostly all cocky egotistical people that ruin their own brand even though they tell everyone to get harley. That's mainly why I bought an Indian, because every indian rider is the coolest rider you'll ever meet, rather it be someone a bit older in a cruiser, or someone like me who rides with sport bikes! I come from the philosophy of true riding which entails a community that watches out for each other no matter what you ride or how fast it is and it's beautiful. Love peace and chicken grease brother, don't let your meat loaf and ride safe!! I hate riding in the cold even though I'm in Florida 🤣🤣
@@scooterbobscout I relate brother! A few months back a new indian Dealer popped up in Central NL, and i visited of course, talked to the shop owners and i said to them id be happy to help them during events and such like meetups doing bbq, organise rides, haul bikes for them that customers need repaired and stuff around my own daily work, without pay, just in my free time, Just feels nice to be around my favorite bikes and helping out the community. And they reacted it would be cool to have me help out
@Michel Dijkgraaf I hear ya man! Being around d like minded people is the goal! Where I'm at in FL it's illegal to lane split but even if it was legal it would be hard for me to due to the size of my bike! Lol
I went form my 08 HD Electraglide to 21 Scout 60 and the only thing I wish this bike had was a fuel gauge. I like how nimble and peppy it is in and round town. I do want to add on louder exhaust
Congrats! Awesome choice and I can agree, I wish it did as well. Its kind of a pain to track your milage or wait till the fuel lights on haha! The pipes I got are 100$ shorty gp slip ons
Awesome bike, I get my Scout Bobber this week. From my research the 60 has a 5 speed and the regular Scout has 6 speed, the final gear ratios changed in 2021+
I like those slip on exhaust tips. I put em on my 16 highball. Great to get those factory cankles off lol. Made it sound much better without having to re-tune. After a couple yrs their fading though unfortunately enough. I may paint them matte black with high temp paint or something,but I don't regret buying them.
Kinda late but so be it- I honestly was looking for a reg scout rogue, but pricing in CA puts it at near 20k once all the docs are signed- I found a new gloss black 22 rogue sixty and price was 2500 less- I honestly didn’t find too much difference in pick up and go- top end gear may be a bit taller but, what are we talking about 200-300 rpm difference? Anyway I immediately added som RCX loud pipes, 21st century LED headlight and an Indian performance tune and filter, essentially stage 1’d it. The bike hauls ass and I’m still below reg scout pricing- my only gripe is the freeway rpm’s get a little vibration’y in the grips and Joker bear traps- but I’m new to v-twins and it seems that this is the norm - is that your experience? Also considering going with a PV3 tune later on, worth it? Thanks for the video-
Your vibrations are normal, mine does the same so no worries there and the 2-300 rpms is once you get a tuner for it you can get more rpms put of it. I should've went more in depth on that lol welcome to the vtwi /indian family.my friend!! Ride safe but ride hard
I got a full size 2015 scout with 12,000 miles for 8 Grand flat.. had to drive 5 hours each way to get it but it was worth it.. and it came with Fox shocks floorboards highway bars and those big ass tan stock bags I see that sell for a thousand bucks on the internet
@@scooterbobscout I know bro and it was garage kept by a older guy if you believe it or not LOL when I pulled it out of his garage it had cobwebs and s*** on it like it was sitting for a minute mint as hell.. Massachusetts bro I swear there's a few of them out there like that
Thanks I feel even better about my recent purchase . Haven't been able to ride much yet too cold still but I bought scout icon blue and silver, so I really haven't don't know what I don't like or like yet so ty your bike is sweet.
i started with a kawasaki vulcan then went to a victory highball and i think this might be the perfect medium of speed and power the only thing that i worry about is that suspension!
My 60 is a beast! No dyno runs, but I've beat plenty of bikes to know it rips. At the time I purchased mine, I noticed the 60s had more color options and the price was too good to pass up. The money saved allowed me to get all the mods I wanted and still was less then the big Scout.
I appreciate it! I ride with mostly sport bikes and literally everyone that has 2 wheels. It's more fun with tye speedy boys plus they love seeing a cruiser get down 🤣 I plan on getting another bike for the collection. I need me a naked sport
'20 Scout Bobber - Trask slip-ons and Indian performance intake + Dynojet dyno tuned I get 90BHP to the rear wheel measured on the dyno. A great upgrade for the scout sixty is to do the big bore mod. Then it ends up exactly the same as a normal scout that does the big bore. Both engines are then the same. I noticed you mentioned it in the video. However, missing a 6th gear might be a nuisance with 120BHP :P I'd also invest in a windshield with that kind of speed. Scout Bobber is my first ever motorcycle. Another difference between the two is the headlight style and some other minor aesthetic differences.
Yes I definitely want to get the big bore kit done! Seen so crazy power number with those kits. I also need to returned mine at a dyno shop to pull some more power out of it. That's amazing thats your first bike! Solid choice and what better bike to Start on! The differences yea I forgot to mention lookswise eh lol
Just got a new scout bobber 60 in 11 23 blacked out model from coastal Iron in Murrells inlet sc what a bike looks speed it's the total package and the people at coastal Iron are the best
You won’t need new shocks just springs. I changed to front springs made for the Scout made by Progressive. They are a game changer. The bike will handle better. They way u ride you will love the new springs. My 2017 had a slight high speed wobble with the new springs it’s gone.
The fact that you’re getting the riding performance you are proves you’re a DAM good rider.....the Progressive front springs will have your front wheel hug the road solid! With the right spring/front suspension set up your shocks will have a “progressive rate” this is so as the spring compresses the pounds of compression will be set to help you hug the tight turn while adjusting as needed through the turn to allow for maximum speed with correct bike placement. Or you can go to a custom high performance suspension shop but that’s expensive. When you order them make sure you talk to someone knowledgeable so the set up including the fork oil weight is right for what performance you want. Be sure to review it after u upgrade. I’ll be watching.
@Steve F thank you for the info and kind words! I'm just comfortable with what I have and I ride it for everything it has! I'm def looking into those springs for sure because it needs some better stiffness thats for sure
I just found your channel I'm a fairly new rider coming up on 2years now I own a Honda Rebel 500 bought it new did a lot of upgrades to it but I'm ready to move on I really like the Indian Scout I like the blue color! I look forward d to watching more of your videos! For your fork inserts check out Burly Brand I learned that from watching Life of Burch on RUclips great content! Ride safe Bro
Thank you and the rebels are solid bikes! Can't go wrong with them at all. Although I totally understand moving up lol I will look into the fork inserts for sure and you ride safe as well!!
I like indian more, but there are some harleys I like also. To be honest, it's all about what YOU like and what you wanna buy, as long as it's 2 wheels it's fine!
I don’t know much about motorcycles services etc, I’m thinking of a 2023 Indian Motorcycle® Scout® Bobber Sixty ABS but I would like to put different lights and a mockery that looks nice of course a comfortable avent, it will be my weekend bike, but I see the different prices, I saw prices until if I’m not bad about 10,000, do you Is it better or more expensive? Thank you for answering me and by the way I already subscribed !!
This might be a very dumb question but, potential new rider, I’m a huge fan of the dynamic club style. Would it be weird if I try to raise the handle bars, add a fairing & step up seat? Just wondering, I know Indian website has options to do so.
Oh well hello fellow floridian! I'll def be out there! If you don't get one before hand, buy one when you come to daytona, I bought mine at daytona indian right off the showroom floor. Ringing that bell felt amazing! Also, you can do endless test rides!
Look up patriot suspension for the front fork springs. They have 2 types, go for the dual coil spring set up. Also, I know it’s kinda pricy but the Indian fox shocks will help you out alot as well👍🏻
i thought the 60 had a 5 speed transmission, the regular scout has a 6 speed trans. had a 19 scout rode it from WI to LA and back, that's when I realized I need something bigger, So I went and bought the 21 Vintage, I miss the power and agility of the scout.
I don't know how modern ABS is, but it used to be that it's only for straight line braking, and really it only stops you better when the pavement is wet. ABS gets a bit dangerous on a curve when braking hard. It can actually cause the tire to slide out from under you. It's a weird feeling when the ABS kicks in on a curve. Scary stuff. Now this is with an old ABS system on my '93 BMW K1100 LT, so I don't know if it's like that on new ABS systems, but it sort of makes sense that you wouldn't want to depend on ABS on a curve, that you would not want ABS to engage on a curve. Yet, neither would you want to brake skid on a curve either. On the wet road, straight line braking, I'm all for ABS. That's the only time, though, with my bike.
Nice review. I’ve been on a Rebel 1100 for a while and I love it, but I’ve wanted one of these for a while. I finally have the opportunity to get one, so my plan is to sell the Rebel and get the Scout Rogue Sixty 👌
The Rebel is great. I started a few years ago on a Rebel 300 as my first bike because I’m a short guy and I as intimidated by “big” bikes. Within a few months I knew I needed to upgrade and went straight to the 1100. So fun and easy to ride, which seems like a similar assessment for the Scout Sixty lineup. The Scouts a little heavier than my Rebel, and forward controls instead of mids, but I’m pretty confident I’m gonna love it, even being a short guy at 5’7” 😅
@@scooterbobscout that’s good to know. Honestly I’ve wanted to get forward controls on my Rebel for a while anyways so I’m pretty excited to test ride the Rogue Sixty and see how it feels
I grew up in the 70's & 80's on a panhead. Honest old school, not trying to be cool. One of the guy's my father rode with had/ has a 48 chief. In the beginning i thought it was the ugliest ride ever, after about 5 - 10 year's, i wound up in love with it. I've wanted an Indian my whole entire adult life. My father wouldn't allow it due to hard to find parts, companies buying Indian and going under, just all kinds of good solid reasons. Thankfully Polaris bought them, and made them what they are today. I look at people on Harleys today and wonder WHY they buy them? Are they trying to buy something they're not or do they not know to shop around and make their own decisions. I will always have a soft spot for Harleys, i still have the 56 pan, but my Indian is my new love. Yup, I'm an old woman who still rides!
Glad to hear that your still out riding! Indian is the way to go now. They've done so good with their tech and overall detail that goes into their bikes. That's also the reason I went them them.
Lol!!!! Yes for the most part, hardest part is taking the tank pff to do filter maintenance and spark plugs. Oil change is super easy, 2 bolts, oil filter is super easy to access also. Just redid the fork oil as well and it was a breeze. Vulcan are sweet bikes! I had a 98vn800 classic and I miss that bike every single day because I wish I still had it as a secondary. That bike was super reliable, it saw rev limiter in every gear the whole time I owned it and it never ever had a problem lol 😆
The bobber SUCKS in rain. Even on a dry day with a puddle on the ground, just throws water all over you. I avoid wet days/roads at all costs. The times I've been in the rain, it's like every other bike, miserable but push through it to get home safe. No major electric issues. Hopefully that answers your questions lol
@@scooterbobscout Thanks! I currently daily a Ninja 400. It's my first bike, bought it new in 2020. I love the look of the Scouts, and plan on getting one in the next few months. Just not sure if I'm going to trade in my Ninja or keep it to ride in the rain.
@WA7S0N gotta have more than one bike. I currently just have my scout but I plan on getting a sport naked in the future, so I say keep the 400 and buy the scout lol
@@scooterbobscoutthat’s true. I been breaking that rule recently though. I’m trying to come to the cruiser world from sports bikes. These “mid size cruisers” are perfect for me. It’s coming down to the triumph bobber and the Indians but I’m leaning toward the Indian because the bigger gas tank. I want the Matt colors though
@@scooterbobscout I'm getting the "scout" not the bobber. I'm looking for the shorty exhaust in chrome but it is hard to find. You know if it is being made?
I would say so, now if your 6ft and a big boned fella, I'd say maybe go for a Springfield. Best advice honestly, go test ride one! Test ride as many bikes as you can, not just from indian but every single brand to find what YOU like and what fits YOU 😉
And a deal breaker for me 5 gear speed..I got the scout bobber and that 6 gear make a huge difference when you're on the highway...if it's not a problem for you, scout 60 is more than enough
@@scooterbobscoutKtech needs some modification to the fork tubes, Legends drop in. I ride 2 up and legends rear shock is only for solo so I went Ktech iv razer rears and will be getting Ktech fronts next season. The rear shock totally transformed the riding. Hard riding, cruising it's fantastic now, that stock shock should be on a pep boys gokart lol
I started riding at a young age around 12 I rode dirt bikes all over in Wyoming, then when I got older around 14-15 I found a Suzuki dt440 in the north platte and pulled it out fixed the broken crank cover with a coffee can and kicked it over for about 3 months rode it around got a 2003 Harley 883 ride that for a while got a 2003 CBR when I was 23 wrecked that then got a 85 Kawasaki Vulcan 700 made that I to a chopper someone tried stealing it a little while ago and now I have a indian scout my #1 complaint is the exhaust it sounds like a snowmobile with the stock exhaust... Very unnerving when your cruising in traffic and you don't know if the guy next to you even knows your there.
Thats awesome! I had a vn800 for my first bike and I loved it, I need another one lol Yea the exhaust is super heavy and super quite on these stock, the ones I have wake up the dead HAHAHA
Nice video! I just bought a 2021 scout sixty. I’m in Ohio and well haven’t really rode it yet much. I rode GSXR’s in my military days about 15 years ago…… so haven’t rode since. Thought the scout sixty would be a great bike to get back into it. I already put Vance and Hines pipes on it and a tan Indian seat. Looks great. Sounds great. Just can’t wait til spring. New sub
that's a big one the 5 speed vs the 6 speed. I've owned a few bikes some with 5 speed and now with a 6 speed I could never go back to a 5 speed. it just sucks when your crusin on the highway and your tack is sitting at 2900 to 3500 between 60 and 70 mph.
I mentioned it in the vid but it was a fast one that got by alot of people 🤣 my first bike was a vn800 vulcan classic with a 5 speed, same as my scout and I've test rode alot of other bikes with 6 speeds, and I want a 6 speed next cuz there's times where I try to click up for another gear 🤣
Amazing video Scooterbob! thanks for the priceless work Forgive me for my ignorance, but I have my eyes on this scout and the sport chief, I know they both are 2 different worlds, but my biggest doubt with 'em is the engine, the scout has a liquid cooled engine and the sport chief an air cooled engine. My doubt here is... which engine can be more reliable? I have heard too many positive as negative words on both, and now I just don't know what to think... I hope someone can help me -Keep up the good work and ride safe!
Thank you so much! So here's the thing, both bikes are great, they both have there good and bad, so, with that being said, it all comes down to what YOU want. You should test ride both a few times to get a feel of them both them make a decision of which one fits you best. Both engines are awesome, can't beat liquid cooled, but the indian air cooled engines are super awesome as well. Its about preference to what you enjoy, but either one is a good bike non the less!
@@scooterbobscout I'm grateful with your answer, thanks for taking the time to reply I'll definitely follow your words, can't be wrong having a test ride on both, I was just curious about these engines... but now, hearing the voice of the experience, you gave me calm and confidence, I appreciate it a lot. Sometimes I come to your channel and watch your videos riding, imagining that it's me the one riding haha! I hope someday I can reach my metal horse, but for now... I'll continue enjoying your videos. Thanks for everything, keep living the dream, tiger! P.S.: Btw, I'm curious, why you said "can't beat liquid cooled"?
@razhmyth Glad to be of inspiration! I know I haven't posted much but should have some new videos soon! Life's been crazy! And what I meant by liquid cooled is they are just great engines overall
@@scooterbobscout It has never been about the quantity, but of quality! So be in calm knowing you made such a good work Thanks for the explanation, thanks for your time, thanks a lot my friend
I have a chief dark horse after owing a scout 60 and the scout 60 is probably quicker honestly. The chief is more comfortable but the scout 60 can really move. It's probably the best bike in its class.
I really really want a challenger. The chief is a bad ass bike as well, all the Indians are. Test rode a chief tho and loved it. Super comfy, still had a scout feel to it, it was super cool! How are you liking yours?
@Scooterbob Scout I'm not sure but knowing Australia it's probably too cool for this country, we have the scout, scout bobber, scout bobber 20 and scout rogue
@Iron Ranger I ended up getting the kyuriaken ones and they didn't work at first so my mechanic fixed them lol im pretty sure the arlen Ness ones are the correct adapter for the cross thread pegs
Don't you wish all bikes had fuel gauges? Riding on the interstate, have you noticed how the road signs will hide towns? It's crazy. How can you plan your gas stops when they hide cities? It's a real guessing game. Do they do that just for us bikers?
I totally agree! It's all about knowing how many miles you can go (roughly) on a full tank and then knowing how many miles your riding and estimate, per your milage, how much you have left, and yea some road signs that do that are STUPID lol so fill up when you can when riding for a long time and when you see gas stations. On long rides that your unsure of, never stretch out that last 10 miles or so, because that next gas station might be further lol
@@scooterbobscout Go to Revolution for about 1200dollars get the kit best thing you do. Suspensions go to Progressive springs for front and rear makes the bike next time change the plugs get E plugs. Never have an issue.
Yea, it's kinda big but the fuel range isn't that good lol you can get 120 out of a full tank but that's putting around on the throttle lol the way I ride I get about 105 110
@@scooterbobscout Mine also has had zero issues. I have a 2022 Super Chief Limited with stage 2 and a custom Lloydz tune. Been riding cruisers for 43 years (Yamaha, Kawasaki) and my Indian is my favorite bike to date. I almost bought the Scout 100, but it was just a little too small sized for me and my wife to be comfortable on long rides. ✌️
@RobertoBren great choice in bike! And yea the scouts for long rides aren't the greatest lol I bought my fiance a inflatable seat cushion and it's helper her out greatly for the linger rides 😅. Welcome to the indian family brother. Also, loydes knows what their doing as far as performance on the indians, I've seen some NASTY bikes that guys have with loydes parts.
You may just be THE best salesperson for a Scout 60 in all of the internets!
i really do want one now!!
Thank you I really appreciate that lol im no salesman by any means but I am extremely honest lol
Love the purple, really brings out your eyes
Lmao thanks 🤣
Bought a 2021 scout sixty bobber. After two Harley half bikes and a English bike, this is the best bike I ever owned.
They sure are
Honestly..I bought the 60 bobber for the same reason, I think the extra 3k for and extra 113cc wasn't worth it when I could spend less in performance upgrades to get the same power and I liked the blacked out cylinder heads better
Great video. I'm only 62 and a half and really was looking hard at a Vulcan 900 for my first bike until now.
@@thisoldmanchannel those are still fantastic bikes! I started on a 98 vn800 classic vulcan! I loved it!
I put 16000 miles in two summers on my Scout Bobber. Scouts are awesome. Just oil changes and gas. I put MCCruise cruise control on mine. Took it to a whole new level on the highway (not to mention better highway mileage because you aren’t constant modulating throttle).
Anyways you can’t go wrong with the Scout if you are looking for that forward control Bobber look. The look does come at a comfort cost but if your a real Bobber fan that’s the price you pay.
I constantly have Harley guys around my Bobber. They are always intrigued. I love Harleys and pretty much every bike not the road. But we all know Harley guys hate looking at anything that is not Harley lol so to see them around my Scout is always fun.
I agree 100% man! Absolutely perfect bikes. Mine gets just as much attention, everyone loves them! I do want to do a cruise control on mine, ill have to look at what you have and check it out!
Should make cruise an option factory. Thing thing cant not have it optionable when these hypernakeds lime the mt09sp has it. And the point of that thing is minimalism 😂 woth the nice quality windsheilds, optionable floorboards, cruise would be big
My 2017 Sixty has 43,000 on it (all but 5k are mine in 4 years). Still love riding it. It's been pretty darn reliable.
DANG! glad to hear from someone with more miles! Makes me happy to know I've got a crap ton more to put on my bike reliably 😁 stay safe out there my friend!
Do you think it's better than the regular scout? I'm thinking about getting a 60 but this would be my first bike.
@@jtg6291 they are b9th awesome bikes, both great purchases. It's all about your financial situation and preference 😃
@Scooterbob Scout I plan on buying pre-owned to lower cost. As a new rider I don't need a brand new bike. I'm planning on getting the sixty over the scout. I don't remember if it was in this video or not but I watched a video where you could add some hp to it in the future. J think it's a better option to go with the lower hp while first starting out.
@Jacob Granados absolutely understand, still, 78hp stock can be intimidating sometimes. But it's plenty of power to not get super bored with either! Future power mods are a must! It only makes it that much more fun!
I bought a brand new Scout 60... This is my first bike and I just took it out for my first ever ride today. I can't stop thinking about it, it's got all the power I need as a learner *and more.* It's a Liquid cooled litre bike... Which is definitely a LOT for a new guy. I'm in love with it. People kept telling me I should have bought a Chief, but I know I need to grow into these bikes before I get massive ones.
I'm a Canadian so my OTD was a bit higher than the US Dollar. $15,900 CAD.
Awesome man congrats! Welcome to the motorcycle world! Great choice for a starter bike. The chiefs are nice for sure but aren't as fast as the scouts but overall the chief would've been another great bike for a beginner. The newer bikes definitely are a bit more compared to when I bought mine but either way, enjoy your bike!
I have a 2019 Scout Sixty. Great bike. It has Dean Speed Rampage slipons,Indian performance intake and an Indian tune. I put on Progressive 444 on the rear and what a difference. I'm also going to add Progressive fork springs. You can go with the 12 inch in the rear to give a little more ground clearance.
I'm gonna look into those for sure!
Love the Bike bro, great setup. I like how you stayed budget friendly instead of paying 14 - 16 grand out the door.
Thats the goal man, live within your means and that was mine. It's still a scout, it's still one of the bikes I really really really wanted, so at the end of the day, im happy and thats all that matter at the end of the day! Goes for everyone as well when looking at making a purchase! Thank you for the love my friend! 🫡🤝
You mentioning that leaning forward with the position of the bars is exactly why I just bought the new scout rogue with the mini apes.
Those r sweet, makes it so much more comfortable! I do like my bars though because when I full tuck it makes it easier. Kinda wierd arm position with and when full tuck lol
Hi, I'm in England and I love these bikes, it took me ages though to decide what to get, in the end I went for the Rogue and now I'm just waiting for some better weather so I can get out on her, ride steady and stay safe all.
The scouts are awesome no matter what model you get! You ride safe over there as well!
I have a 2019 Scout Sixty, and love the bike....It's power cannot be underestimated....And I have found it to be a pretty comfortable ride as well....The bike is as tough as it looks!!!!
I love how passionate you are about riding hard on your bike. You are a legit rider. Great video bro. I just turned 62 and have NOT been on a bike since I sold my Harley Street Glide 17 years ago. I decided it's time to get back on two wheels. I am an adrenaline junkie and need as much torque as possible and have always at a minimum done a stage 2. Those were the 88 twin cam engines on a 845 lb bike. I do NOT like going 100 MPH but love getting from zero to 60 as quickly as possible. I am older and not as strong as I used to be I want to go with a lighter more nimble bike. I was digging the Harley Low Rider ST with that 117 engine and fairing but bike weighs 727 lbs. I have only owned Harleys( 883, WideGlide, Softail Deluxe and Street Glide) and Somehow an Indian video popped up in my YT feed and when I saw the new Scout lineup I fell in love with the Scout. I dig the Scout more than the Harley Sporters. . From what I took away from your video, the Scout 101 with the bigger engine on a 547 lb bike would probably be a ripper because of the light weight. I live in Austin TX and want a bike to cruise around the city as well as longer 4 hour cruises in the Texas Hill Country. I would definitely change the pipes and try to squeeze as much torque out of engine as possible. Can you even do a stage 2 on a scout and change out the cam? Love to hear which bike you would go with if you had the funds to buy any model with the understanding I am a senior citizen. I seriously do not know if I could lift a bagger off the ground. Or even a 727 lb Low Rider. The other question I have is about adding a windscreen or some type of fairing. How important do you think it is having a fairing on your bike if you are NOT going cross country but short 4 hour rides? Back in the day I wore a $10 plastic brain bucket helmet just so I wouldn't get pulled over in NYC. These days almost EVERY video i watch even the most seasoned bikers are all wearing DOT 3/4 or full face helmets. Just wondering if wearing a full face helmet with the small fairing found on the Scout 101 would be sufficient to make the ride comfortable without too much buffering. Thanks again for video. You got a new subscriber.🤘
@director2bob awesome to hear you wanting to get back on 2! The scouts are great bikes and I also love the Lowrider ST but I completely understand why you want something lighter! The scouts do have fairings you can buy the reason I don't have one is it's just the style of the bobber. I thought about one but to me on this style it wouldn't really fit it. As far as the cams being changed on these yes you can change them, I think with the 1300cc kit it comes with new/bigger cams. If I had to choose a bike if I had more funds I'd just fully mod my scout to a 1300cc and definitely buy a few more bikes haha it's hard to choose just one because there's so many I like, from cruisers to naked sports all the way to sport bikes and adventures. So that said I'd have a collection! I hope you find a scout that fits your style and your ride but beware of the stiff rear suspension. There are a few company's that make inflatable seat cushions and they help ALOT, my fiancé uses one and it's helps her out alot on the long rides. I wish you luck on your adventures!! Thank you for liking the content!
@@scooterbobscout thanks for quick reply. Did you change the pipes on your bike or keep them stock? I have changed the pipes on every bike I owned except on my first bike 883 Sporty. And would for sure do the 1300 upgrade. Seems like the bike would rip on such a low weight ride. Of course need to add saddlebags but that’s all I need. Can’t wait to test drive one when I get back to TX. Safe riding my friend🙏
@director2bob yes I changed the pipes I have shorty gp slip ons it's LOUD lol and even my bike the 60 with a few mods is quick, the 1300cc kit for the scouts makes em really quick! I've had this bike to 142mph I wanted to see what it had. Again I've got intake pipes and custom tune. I plan on sending it to a dyno to try and pull a few more horses out of it at some point soon! Thank you hope you enjoy it, I should suggest riding the sport chiefs also. Those r pretty nice bikes, not as fast as the scout but a super nice bike non the less. Good luck my friend!
Just bought mine titanium color , replaced the seats and rear shocks... loving it..
Congrats! Enjoy the ride! You'll love every second!
Im from NL and got a 2022 Scout which is almost identical to your, except the chrome and hp, but man do i love my bike.... it's a bit snowy now but i read the forecast every day to see if there would be a nice riding day coming up, ill take her out as soon as it's +5 ish degrees and not slippery even if it's for a quick short ride... man im hooked!! im only at 2200 miles on the bike but when i ride it, every kinda stress just slides off, cant wait for next season!
Doesn't matter what you ride, the freedom that comes with riding is bliss, im a first responder so my bike saves me from stress. The scout platform is amazing and I have just as much HP as you do, I've got a aftermarket intake, pipes and tune as you saw. So my 81-82hp to the wheel is around or just under your 100hp if you have the big scout but like I said, the 60 is plenty fast as is. Indian is king of the cruiser world right now due to bang for buck. No harley makes me feel the way I do on any indian (I've test rode everything they have created). Indians are just awesome bikes and the community surrounding indian motorcycles is WAY more laid back and respectful than ANY harley group or rider. The harley community is mostly all cocky egotistical people that ruin their own brand even though they tell everyone to get harley. That's mainly why I bought an Indian, because every indian rider is the coolest rider you'll ever meet, rather it be someone a bit older in a cruiser, or someone like me who rides with sport bikes! I come from the philosophy of true riding which entails a community that watches out for each other no matter what you ride or how fast it is and it's beautiful. Love peace and chicken grease brother, don't let your meat loaf and ride safe!! I hate riding in the cold even though I'm in Florida 🤣🤣
@@scooterbobscout I relate brother! A few months back a new indian Dealer popped up in Central NL, and i visited of course, talked to the shop owners and i said to them id be happy to help them during events and such like meetups doing bbq, organise rides, haul bikes for them that customers need repaired and stuff around my own daily work, without pay, just in my free time, Just feels nice to be around my favorite bikes and helping out the community. And they reacted it would be cool to have me help out
@Michel Dijkgraaf I hear ya man! Being around d like minded people is the goal! Where I'm at in FL it's illegal to lane split but even if it was legal it would be hard for me to due to the size of my bike! Lol
@@scooterbobscout No lane split is easy assuming there is enough space off course. lanes are wide enough to do so in the netherlands :)
@Michel Dijkgraaf then I guess I need to step my game up in the states 🤣
👍👍 good review! Definitely can hear the enthusiasm and honesty about the bike.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you! Yea I love this bike and I love riding. Passion is why I do it
I went form my 08 HD Electraglide to 21 Scout 60 and the only thing I wish this bike had was a fuel gauge. I like how nimble and peppy it is in and round town. I do want to add on louder exhaust
Congrats! Awesome choice and I can agree, I wish it did as well. Its kind of a pain to track your milage or wait till the fuel lights on haha! The pipes I got are 100$ shorty gp slip ons
Awesome bike, I get my Scout Bobber this week. From my research the 60 has a 5 speed and the regular Scout has 6 speed, the final gear ratios changed in 2021+
Your correct, good luck and enjoy it!
I like those slip on exhaust tips. I put em on my 16 highball. Great to get those factory cankles off lol. Made it sound much better without having to re-tune. After a couple yrs their fading though unfortunately enough. I may paint them matte black with high temp paint or something,but I don't regret buying them.
Yea they are awesome! I love em. Like yours, mine are fading as well lol they need a fresh coating
@@scooterbobscout don't wish it on you or anything,but I'm glad mine aren't the only 1s lol. I never saw that coming with those pipes
@brandoania lol it's a super easy fix tho
Love your bike , looks great 👍 I have a regular scout , had it for 3 years now , can’t wait to ride again :) stay safe bro 👍
Thank you!
@@scooterbobscout I got mine still attached. It doesn't bother me.
Kinda late but so be it- I honestly was looking for a reg scout rogue, but pricing in CA puts it at near 20k once all the docs are signed- I found a new gloss black 22 rogue sixty and price was 2500 less- I honestly didn’t find too much difference in pick up and go- top end gear may be a bit taller but, what are we talking about 200-300 rpm difference?
Anyway I immediately added som RCX loud pipes, 21st century LED headlight and an Indian performance tune and filter, essentially stage 1’d it.
The bike hauls ass and I’m still below reg scout pricing- my only gripe is the freeway rpm’s get a little vibration’y in the grips and Joker bear traps- but I’m new to v-twins and it seems that this is the norm - is that your experience? Also considering going with a PV3 tune later on, worth it?
Thanks for the video-
Your vibrations are normal, mine does the same so no worries there and the 2-300 rpms is once you get a tuner for it you can get more rpms put of it. I should've went more in depth on that lol welcome to the vtwi /indian family.my friend!! Ride safe but ride hard
Such a beautiful machine. Hopefully I can get one in the future
Thank you! They are def worth the money.
Just got the scout bobber delivered today. 14500 out the door. 1 mile on the dash.
Hell yea! Congrats!
I’m still a noob and have seriously been considering this bike. Thanks for the in-depth review.
Your welcome! They are alot of fun! Just keep all options opens! There's a crap ton of bikes to choose from.
@@scooterbobscout I definitely will! But Indians are just my favorite for some reason. Good height for me and they’re just pretty. Lol
@@Allie_Rose fair enough, they are my favorite as well!
I got a full size 2015 scout with 12,000 miles for 8 Grand flat.. had to drive 5 hours each way to get it but it was worth it.. and it came with Fox shocks floorboards highway bars and those big ass tan stock bags I see that sell for a thousand bucks on the internet
Dang you got a hell of a deal!
@@scooterbobscout I know bro and it was garage kept by a older guy if you believe it or not LOL when I pulled it out of his garage it had cobwebs and s*** on it like it was sitting for a minute mint as hell.. Massachusetts bro I swear there's a few of them out there like that
@[ Bravo-Alpha•7•3•2•] dang dude thats awesome! You don't find gems like that often here in FL 🤣
Really nice bike man. I'm jelly. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for the compliment!
Thanks I feel even better about my recent purchase . Haven't been able to ride much yet too cold still but I bought scout icon blue and silver, so I really haven't don't know what I don't like or like yet so ty your bike is sweet.
Glad to be of help and you will love it once you get out and ride!
i started with a kawasaki vulcan then went to a victory highball and i think this might be the perfect medium of speed and power the only thing that i worry about is that suspension!
My 60 is a beast! No dyno runs, but I've beat plenty of bikes to know it rips.
At the time I purchased mine, I noticed the 60s had more color options and the price was too good to pass up. The money saved allowed me to get all the mods I wanted and still was less then the big Scout.
Hell yea! Bang for the buck for sure! Glad to hear another happy indian owner! Us scouts definitely break some hearts racing 😏
So is mine ! Lol!! I love my bike. I’ve taken to 118-119 mph. Stock. My baby! Lol!
@Henry Capote I've got mine to 135 before lol
Is yours the 5 speed?
@@Bobberdad yep! Sure is
Love the look of your bike! I’m a sport bike rider, but I’d roll that in a sec. That bitch is sweet.
I appreciate it! I ride with mostly sport bikes and literally everyone that has 2 wheels. It's more fun with tye speedy boys plus they love seeing a cruiser get down 🤣 I plan on getting another bike for the collection. I need me a naked sport
'20 Scout Bobber - Trask slip-ons and Indian performance intake + Dynojet dyno tuned
I get 90BHP to the rear wheel measured on the dyno.
A great upgrade for the scout sixty is to do the big bore mod. Then it ends up exactly the same as a normal scout that does the big bore. Both engines are then the same.
I noticed you mentioned it in the video. However, missing a 6th gear might be a nuisance with 120BHP :P I'd also invest in a windshield with that kind of speed.
Scout Bobber is my first ever motorcycle. Another difference between the two is the headlight style and some other minor aesthetic differences.
Yes I definitely want to get the big bore kit done! Seen so crazy power number with those kits. I also need to returned mine at a dyno shop to pull some more power out of it. That's amazing thats your first bike! Solid choice and what better bike to Start on! The differences yea I forgot to mention lookswise eh lol
I believe there is money to be made for somebody who would make a nice looking 5-gallon tank for the Scout, or am I wrong?
It definitely would be a plus!! Sometimes I wish it had a bigger tank lol
Can the mirrors be switched to the ones the the 1100 has, turned down
@@jorgefalconjr yes they can be switched out.
Sweet ride
Thank you!
Just got a new scout bobber 60 in 11 23 blacked out model from coastal Iron in Murrells inlet sc what a bike looks speed it's the total package and the people at coastal Iron are the best
Congrats! Welcome to the indian family! They are indeed great bikes!
You won’t need new shocks just springs. I changed to front springs made for the Scout made by Progressive. They are a game changer. The bike will handle better. They way u ride you will love the new springs. My 2017 had a slight high speed wobble with the new springs it’s gone.
Hell yea im gonna look into them!
The fact that you’re getting the riding performance you are proves you’re a DAM good rider.....the Progressive front springs will have your front wheel hug the road solid! With the right spring/front suspension set up your shocks will have a “progressive rate” this is so as the spring compresses the pounds of compression will be set to help you hug the tight turn while adjusting as needed through the turn to allow for maximum speed with correct bike placement. Or you can go to a custom high performance suspension shop but that’s expensive. When you order them make sure you talk to someone knowledgeable so the set up including the fork oil weight is right for what performance you want. Be sure to review it after u upgrade. I’ll be watching.
@Steve F thank you for the info and kind words! I'm just comfortable with what I have and I ride it for everything it has! I'm def looking into those springs for sure because it needs some better stiffness thats for sure
I just found your channel I'm a fairly new rider coming up on 2years now I own a Honda Rebel 500 bought it new did a lot of upgrades to it but I'm ready to move on I really like the Indian Scout I like the blue color! I look forward d to watching more of your videos! For your fork inserts check out Burly Brand I learned that from watching Life of Burch on RUclips great content! Ride safe Bro
Thank you and the rebels are solid bikes! Can't go wrong with them at all. Although I totally understand moving up lol I will look into the fork inserts for sure and you ride safe as well!!
Pretty bike
Thank you!!
I liked your video. Do you recommend me more Indian or Harley Davidson? I’m about to buy my second motorcycle
I like indian more, but there are some harleys I like also. To be honest, it's all about what YOU like and what you wanna buy, as long as it's 2 wheels it's fine!
I don’t know much about motorcycles services etc, I’m thinking of a 2023 Indian Motorcycle® Scout® Bobber Sixty ABS but I would like to put different lights and a mockery that looks nice of course a comfortable avent, it will be my weekend bike, but I see the different prices, I saw prices until if I’m not bad about 10,000, do you Is it better or more expensive? Thank you for answering me and by the way I already subscribed !!
@@davidfuentes9812 your very welcome! And 10k is about right for those
Awesome video. Is this in Charleston? Looks just like John's Island where I'm from.

What most people don't like, most have ways to make things better, without looking for others to join them in negativity
I’m seriously considering the Scout 60 Rogue, I only wish I could buy one with the tech package of the full Scout.
@whatevermightwork yea the rogue is a super dope looking model! Which even one you buy you will like it!!!
Hey,
I try to get the exhaust name from the video but didint hear well:(. Can you link it here or what is the name of the exhaust.
Thanx🙏🏻
Radical radiant shorty GP
This might be a very dumb question but, potential new rider, I’m a huge fan of the dynamic club style. Would it be weird if I try to raise the handle bars, add a fairing & step up seat? Just wondering, I know Indian website has options to do so.
Do what you like that fits your style! 😁
Get the Scout Rogue and you're good to go
You just convinced me i don't want an indian can't believe it was built , without the plugs easily accessible.
@loydchambers6129 yea its a bit of a challenge but not that big of a deal once you do it.
I’am actually looking at one now 🤔. I’am trying to get mine before bike week here in Florida. Beautiful bike👌🏽.
Oh well hello fellow floridian! I'll def be out there! If you don't get one before hand, buy one when you come to daytona, I bought mine at daytona indian right off the showroom floor. Ringing that bell felt amazing! Also, you can do endless test rides!
Look up patriot suspension for the front fork springs. They have 2 types, go for the dual coil spring set up. Also, I know it’s kinda pricy but the Indian fox shocks will help you out alot as well👍🏻
Yea the fox ones are pricey but worth it. I'll def look into the front fork aprimgs
Indian water cooling for me ride smooth but Harley softail slim my fav too😊
Nice review, beautiful motorcycle. Just curious, how many rpm’s do you turn at 60 mph?
Thats a solid question, id say around 2500-3000. I'd have to get on the bike at some point and double check for you!! I'll let you know when I do!
i thought the 60 had a 5 speed transmission, the regular scout has a 6 speed trans. had a 19 scout rode it from WI to LA and back, that's when I realized I need something bigger, So I went and bought the 21 Vintage, I miss the power and agility of the scout.
It does
I have a regular scout, I'm thinking about the chief. I also wish Indian would drop the PC shit!
I don't know how modern ABS is, but it used to be that it's only for straight line braking, and really it only stops you better when the pavement is wet. ABS gets a bit dangerous on a curve when braking hard. It can actually cause the tire to slide out from under you. It's a weird feeling when the ABS kicks in on a curve. Scary stuff. Now this is with an old ABS system on my '93 BMW K1100 LT, so I don't know if it's like that on new ABS systems, but it sort of makes sense that you wouldn't want to depend on ABS on a curve, that you would not want ABS to engage on a curve. Yet, neither would you want to brake skid on a curve either. On the wet road, straight line braking, I'm all for ABS. That's the only time, though, with my bike.
So abs works wonders in wet and all around, but, I don't have abs on this bike lol 😆
Nice bike so, as an expert do you recommend indian scout 60 or chief bobber dark horse? An advise
All preference! The chief is a great bike also
I had ABS on my MT09 it is a life saver love ABS.
Wish I had it bro lol but hey, it's ok!
Nice review. I’ve been on a Rebel 1100 for a while and I love it, but I’ve wanted one of these for a while. I finally have the opportunity to get one, so my plan is to sell the Rebel and get the Scout Rogue Sixty 👌
Do it!!!! They are fantastic bikes. I've heard great things about the 1100 rebels also.
The Rebel is great. I started a few years ago on a Rebel 300 as my first bike because I’m a short guy and I as intimidated by “big” bikes. Within a few months I knew I needed to upgrade and went straight to the 1100. So fun and easy to ride, which seems like a similar assessment for the Scout Sixty lineup. The Scouts a little heavier than my Rebel, and forward controls instead of mids, but I’m pretty confident I’m gonna love it, even being a short guy at 5’7” 😅
@@petersummerlin7739 you can get mids or forwards on the scouts and it would be a super smooth transition for you to move to one.
@@scooterbobscout that’s good to know. Honestly I’ve wanted to get forward controls on my Rebel for a while anyways so I’m pretty excited to test ride the Rogue Sixty and see how it feels

You’re your own man on an Indian. Ride safe, my man. Great commentary.
I appreciate the kind words 😁 safety is always key. I call it controlled chaos
I grew up in the 70's & 80's on a panhead. Honest old school, not trying to be cool. One of the guy's my father rode with had/ has a 48 chief. In the beginning i thought it was the ugliest ride ever, after about 5 - 10 year's, i wound up in love with it. I've wanted an Indian my whole entire adult life. My father wouldn't allow it due to hard to find parts, companies buying Indian and going under, just all kinds of good solid reasons. Thankfully Polaris bought them, and made them what they are today. I look at people on Harleys today and wonder WHY they buy them? Are they trying to buy something they're not or do they not know to shop around and make their own decisions. I will always have a soft spot for Harleys, i still have the 56 pan, but my Indian is my new love. Yup, I'm an old woman who still rides!
Glad to hear that your still out riding! Indian is the way to go now. They've done so good with their tech and overall detail that goes into their bikes. That's also the reason I went them them.
Progression springs for front and rear not expensive. And E plugs best plugs for the bike.
Is that "Bitch" easy to work on as far as oil change and other things? I do ride a Vulcan 900 now.
Lol!!!! Yes for the most part, hardest part is taking the tank pff to do filter maintenance and spark plugs. Oil change is super easy, 2 bolts, oil filter is super easy to access also. Just redid the fork oil as well and it was a breeze. Vulcan are sweet bikes! I had a 98vn800 classic and I miss that bike every single day because I wish I still had it as a secondary. That bike was super reliable, it saw rev limiter in every gear the whole time I owned it and it never ever had a problem lol 😆
Great Looking Bike!!
Thank you!!
Do you ride yours in the rain? I was wondering how the paint and metals hold up (long-term) to the abuse of those conditions. Thanks in advance!
The bobber SUCKS in rain. Even on a dry day with a puddle on the ground, just throws water all over you. I avoid wet days/roads at all costs. The times I've been in the rain, it's like every other bike, miserable but push through it to get home safe. No major electric issues. Hopefully that answers your questions lol
@@scooterbobscout Thanks! I currently daily a Ninja 400. It's my first bike, bought it new in 2020. I love the look of the Scouts, and plan on getting one in the next few months. Just not sure if I'm going to trade in my Ninja or keep it to ride in the rain.
@WA7S0N gotta have more than one bike. I currently just have my scout but I plan on getting a sport naked in the future, so I say keep the 400 and buy the scout lol
@@scooterbobscoutthat’s true. I been breaking that rule recently though. I’m trying to come to the cruiser world from sports bikes. These “mid size cruisers” are perfect for me.

I would say so, now if your 6ft and a big boned fella, I'd say maybe go for a Springfield. Best advice honestly, go test ride one! Test ride as many bikes as you can, not just from indian but every single brand to find what YOU like and what fits YOU 😉

@@boogeyman7777 your welcome!
And a deal breaker for me 5 gear speed..I got the scout bobber and that 6 gear make a huge difference when you're on the highway...if it's not a problem for you, scout 60 is more than enough
I wished it had the 6, but the 5 is enough on my end lol
Legends and Ktech are the only 2 I know that have inserts for the front forks. Also Free Spirit makes a kit for Brembo front brake.
I'll have to check em out! Thank you! Need mine done soon and want to upgrade from stock

I'm 5 11 244 pounds. Is this big enough or do I need to go bigger for size? Haven't gone to a dealership yet to sit on one.
Plenty big, I'd suggest test riding one to see how you feel on one though. If you like it, enjoy your new bike 😀
You need a bicycle, not a motorcycle.
I started riding at a young age around 12 I rode dirt bikes all over in Wyoming, then when I got older around 14-15 I found a Suzuki dt440 in the north platte and pulled it out fixed the broken crank cover with a coffee can and kicked it over for about 3 months rode it around got a 2003 Harley 883 ride that for a while got a 2003 CBR when I was 23 wrecked that then got a 85 Kawasaki Vulcan 700 made that I to a chopper someone tried stealing it a little while ago and now I have a indian scout my #1 complaint is the exhaust it sounds like a snowmobile with the stock exhaust... Very unnerving when your cruising in traffic and you don't know if the guy next to you even knows your there.
Thats awesome! I had a vn800 for my first bike and I loved it, I need another one lol Yea the exhaust is super heavy and super quite on these stock, the ones I have wake up the dead HAHAHA
@@scooterbobscout that's how my VN was before someone broke the shift shaft loud as it got 😅 short straight on some walker side pipes
@TheBakedBiker that's awesome lol I had debaffled cobras on my vn lol it was roudy
Do you need a tune w exhaust
It's highly recommended but not immediately necessary.
It looks like you're in Florida, how bad is the engine heat during the summer?
Thankfully it's liquid cooled but still sees 210 to 215 if it's sitting for to long on a 100+ degree day. These harleys boys tho, are melting 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I ride an adventure bike right now, but looking for a cruiser for my next bike. Always liked the scout and now the Rogue 🙌🏻
@Floridaman they are great bikes man. Best thing you can do is demo ride! Demo ride anything and everything you can
How about valves adjustment?
Haven't done that. Read that proper oil changes etc and valves aren't an issue
Scout sixty five speed or six speed.
@HOTFOMOCO13 5 speed, I did mention it in the video it was really quick and not everyone catches it
@@scooterbobscout I love my Scout Rogue. I have done the airbox with a PV3 Tuner and RCX exhaust. I love the thrill factor of the bike.
Doesn't the 60 have a 5 speed and the full scout a 6speed?
Yes the 60 is a 5 speed and the regular scout is a 6
Sweet scout how far can you go on a full tank of gas
About 120 miles tops lol 😆
Nice video! I just bought a 2021 scout sixty. I’m in Ohio and well haven’t really rode it yet much. I rode GSXR’s in my military days about 15 years ago…… so haven’t rode since. Thought the scout sixty would be a great bike to get back into it. I already put Vance and Hines pipes on it and a tan Indian seat. Looks great. Sounds great. Just can’t wait til spring. New sub
Hell yea man glad to have you back riding and thank you for your service and for the sub! Ride safe! Love peace and chicken grease!
that's a big one the 5 speed vs the 6 speed. I've owned a few bikes some with 5 speed and now with a 6 speed I could never go back to a 5 speed. it just sucks when your crusin on the highway and your tack is sitting at 2900 to 3500 between 60 and 70 mph.
I mentioned it in the vid but it was a fast one that got by alot of people 🤣 my first bike was a vn800 vulcan classic with a 5 speed, same as my scout and I've test rode alot of other bikes with 6 speeds, and I want a 6 speed next cuz there's times where I try to click up for another gear 🤣
How have you stared at that tank sticker for 21000 miles and not removed it
🤣🤣 scared to scratch my paint although it needs to come off
Amazing video Scooterbob! thanks for the priceless work
Forgive me for my ignorance, but I have my eyes on this scout and the sport chief, I know they both are 2 different worlds, but my biggest doubt with 'em is the engine, the scout has a liquid cooled engine and the sport chief an air cooled engine. My doubt here is... which engine can be more reliable? I have heard too many positive as negative words on both, and now I just don't know what to think... I hope someone can help me
-Keep up the good work and ride safe!
Thank you so much! So here's the thing, both bikes are great, they both have there good and bad, so, with that being said, it all comes down to what YOU want. You should test ride both a few times to get a feel of them both them make a decision of which one fits you best. Both engines are awesome, can't beat liquid cooled, but the indian air cooled engines are super awesome as well. Its about preference to what you enjoy, but either one is a good bike non the less!
@@scooterbobscout
I'm grateful with your answer, thanks for taking the time to reply
I'll definitely follow your words, can't be wrong having a test ride on both, I was just curious about these engines... but now, hearing the voice of the experience, you gave me calm and confidence, I appreciate it a lot.
Sometimes I come to your channel and watch your videos riding, imagining that it's me the one riding haha! I hope someday I can reach my metal horse, but for now... I'll continue enjoying your videos.
Thanks for everything, keep living the dream, tiger!
P.S.: Btw, I'm curious, why you said "can't beat liquid cooled"?
@razhmyth Glad to be of inspiration! I know I haven't posted much but should have some new videos soon! Life's been crazy! And what I meant by liquid cooled is they are just great engines overall
@@scooterbobscout It has never been about the quantity, but of quality! So be in calm knowing you made such a good work
Thanks for the explanation, thanks for your time, thanks a lot my friend
@@MirdenLayra your very welcome!!!
You forgot to mention that the scout sixty is only a 5 speed and the regular scout is 6 speed
Very true I thought I did but oh well lol
@@scooterbobscout You did, at the 15:30 mark
@@scooterbobscout😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
At what rpm’s do you change gears
8400
🤯
@Henry Capote that's when I'm riding hard lol 😆 but if I'm in traffic I'm usually in 3rd so once an opportunity to get past the cars come I can.
I have a chief dark horse after owing a scout 60 and the scout 60 is probably quicker honestly. The chief is more comfortable but the scout 60 can really move. It's probably the best bike in its class.
I really really want a challenger. The chief is a bad ass bike as well, all the Indians are. Test rode a chief tho and loved it. Super comfy, still had a scout feel to it, it was super cool! How are you liking yours?
@@scooterbobscout It's great, heavier so the wind doesn't blow it around, much less vibration with the lower rpm at 55 mph, cruise control.
@@scotth242 I wish I had cruise control 😫
@@scooterbobscout I wouldn't have been able to ride on the 150 mile round trips without it
@@scotth242 I believe you, the scouts destroy your back after a few hours. 🥰
In Australia we don't get the 60 but we're looking at around 24k out the door
Really? How come the 60 isn't available?
@Scooterbob Scout I'm not sure but knowing Australia it's probably too cool for this country, we have the scout, scout bobber, scout bobber 20 and scout rogue
@tillsy23 well at least yall still get the big scout lol
@Scooterbob Scout absolutely usually anything fun doesn't make it down under but somehow this snuck across the pond and we love it!
@tillsy23 they are bad ass bikes man! Alot of fun if you know what to do with it!
Nice 👍
The big bore kit is illegal in California and unfortunately it voids your warranty 😢
How did you adapt the harley pegs to the indian?
Bought indian adapters for em. I think they are Arlene Ness indain foot pegs adapters
@@scooterbobscout Would you be able to find a part number or link? I've been trying to find this magical adapter for awhile now.

@Iron Ranger I ended up getting the kyuriaken ones and they didn't work at first so my mechanic fixed them lol im pretty sure the arlen Ness ones are the correct adapter for the cross thread pegs
@iron ranger
Nice bike
Been riding my 2016 indain scout 60 little Blackie.
@@davidgonzales2940 thank you! As you know, they are awesome bikes
Does anyone have a link for the big bore kit?
Does the 60 also come with a hidden usb charger?
On the bobber no, but the regular 60 model I think does
Its belt driven? Ohh daamnn..now thats good
It's fantastic
Don't you wish all bikes had fuel gauges? Riding on the interstate, have you noticed how the road signs will hide towns? It's crazy. How can you plan your gas stops when they hide cities? It's a real guessing game. Do they do that just for us bikers?
I totally agree! It's all about knowing how many miles you can go (roughly) on a full tank and then knowing how many miles your riding and estimate, per your milage, how much you have left, and yea some road signs that do that are STUPID lol so fill up when you can when riding for a long time and when you see gas stations. On long rides that your unsure of, never stretch out that last 10 miles or so, because that next gas station might be further lol
125 without baffles now. Might get ebay ones for 95 with baffles lol
@efremendez do it lol!
Have big bore kit 1300 in my sixty keeps them guessing.. do it you won't regret it.
I want to so bad!!!! Seen some crazy power numbers on them!
@@scooterbobscout Go to Revolution for about 1200dollars get the kit best thing you do. Suspensions go to Progressive springs for front and rear makes the bike next time change the plugs get E plugs. Never have an issue.
@@rogerdepretto440 will do my homework some more 😎
60 only has a 5 speed vs a 6 speed on the bigger scout.
Thanks proposing my biggest problem is 3 gallon fuel tank you better like to ride alone
Yea, it's kinda big but the fuel range isn't that good lol you can get 120 out of a full tank but that's putting around on the throttle lol the way I ride I get about 105 110
He definitely had Bud Light.......cute purple! lol
😆😆 some people like blue, some like green, I like purple 🤷♂️
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It is also a 5 speed. The other is 6 speed
Have you considered organizing your thoughts before speaking?
Stage fright my guy lol
Indian (Polaris) engines are bullet proof.
They sure are, I ride my bike hard but I also take care of it, and so far nit one issue
@@scooterbobscout Mine also has had zero issues. I have a 2022 Super Chief Limited with stage 2 and a custom Lloydz tune. Been riding cruisers for 43 years (Yamaha, Kawasaki) and my Indian is my favorite bike to date. I almost bought the Scout 100, but it was just a little too small sized for me and my wife to be comfortable on long rides. ✌️
@RobertoBren great choice in bike! And yea the scouts for long rides aren't the greatest lol I bought my fiance a inflatable seat cushion and it's helper her out greatly for the linger rides 😅. Welcome to the indian family brother. Also, loydes knows what their doing as far as performance on the indians, I've seen some NASTY bikes that guys have with loydes parts.
this is a beaut
Thank you
