The Harley softail and touring models compete very well with Indian, from price to specs/performance. But Harley is just leaving money on the table by not going after the more affordable liquid cooled cruiser market that the Indian Scout and Rebel 1100 just dominate. They need to expand the rev max lineup beyond just the Nightster and Sportster S.

I currently ride this generation rebel 300. Mine is a 2023. I bought it in january of 2024 and have put over 8,000 miles on it just this year. Anybody who says this bike sucks is simply wrong. Yeah, its built to better accommodate smaller framed people, yeah its a 300 and doesnt have endless power on tap. But it rides SUPER good for the price and weight of the bike, its reliable as hell, and sips at gas, getting incredible mileage.

I need to learn how to ride!! I want to reward myself after i complete my prolonged fasting period. Im over 370lbs now and want to get down to 180 - 190lbs. I should be abojt to go without food for 300+ days if i dont exercise during the fast. If i do calisthenics and/or stationary bike, it will probably be less but will likely be beneficial for my limited muscles😂

Nos, you got me thinking that, perhaps it would be somehow possible to use the fork assemblies, brake assemblies, and wheels from a CBR, or another Honda, in order to achieve the dual front disc brakes and rear single disc brake setup for the Magna. Please let us know if you hear from a subscriber who has done something like this. For me, part of the fun of motorcycle ownership is customizing your bike to your likes and tastes. ;-)

One thing I liked about my 82 Sabre was that it was shaft driven. I guess they wanted to squeeze more horespower out of this bike by making it a chain drive. How is that windshield working out? Do you find that it cuts down on rider fatigue? What does it do to the handling?

Very dependent on the screen. My screen actually has a little terbulance and slows the bike down.

As far as handling it’s a little too heavy when moving it around slow but falls into turns like it’s nothing

This bike is more like a Sabre which I owned, 1982, than it is like the Magna of that year, which sat back more like a chopper. I'm sold on this bike, and will get one this Spring, or before. I loved the old Sabre 750. It was basically a naked sport bike. It cornered beautifully, and, for a 750, it had gobbs of power. I like that you can get them so cheap and with low miles.

This bike the Sabre and vfr are same family. In the 82 year you had they actually all had the same engine. The year I have is very close to your 82 Sabre as far as engine almost the same just looks a little more modern va the black covers ect but same power. The vfr split off around this time and got the gear driven cams and a few more horsepower. But if you loved your Sabre you will love this bikes too.

I have been looking all over the internet trying to figure out what bike I should get. I’m a bigger guy 6’1 300lbs. I’ve sat on pretty much every bike at the Harley dealer and local sports bike dealer. I’m not necessarily worried about weight of the bike but being a beginner I’m just torn between the 2 styles. Harley’s are comfortable but sports bike sat taller which I like being I have long legs. My only issue is how big of a CC bike would fit me. I feel like with my size anything under a 500 would kinda leave me hanging dry when I get to the highway as that’ll be my main drive to and from work or town. I’m curious on what you’d recommend?

There is a reason baggers have 6 gallon tanks. 1 fuel economy is a lot worse on the bigger bikes. And they are literally meant to go as far as possible for long distance travel. That’s not the purpose of the scout. But. A small bag with a gallon of extra fuel gets you your 5 gallons if it’s that serious lol. A scout with a 5 gallon tank is like a Prius with a 30 gallon tank of a truck. Sounds good on paper because big number but it’s not practical.
