Yes, I’m buying one. This will be my first bike. You and Brandon Bicasso have sold me. I need it in all black please and thank you.Would love a collab with you and Brandon! Love seeing my brothers on Indians. God Bless!

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

That's awesome, it is going to be a great first bike and it leaves room in the garage to get another HAHAHA. I think I would take it in all black as well if I were to get one other than the 101. I have met Brandon before, cool guy, it would be nice to do some sort of collab.

[@miguelledezma5239]

Just took a test drive of this one today and Wow it feels Great! This is the second bike I ridden😅 first one was at the Motorcycle saftey course... still this was such a great ride!! Can't wait to go out and buy it soon

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

@@miguelledezma5239 awesome!!🤙🏿

[@spvimagery3527]

Nice video. Just did the demo ride over this weekend. The new model have so much power. Love the 101 and scout bobber.

[@RidingandWrenching]

Thorough review! Nice job sir!

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Thanks Cue! It was a blast to ride this bike lol very fun.

[@slim56]

I like the price and simplicity of the base model. I would get the 101 though. That inverted forks and dual Brembo brakes is just incredible l.

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

That would be my choice as well, however, the "standard" models are really really good lol.

[@HER6GEARS]

I like that small detail with the lines on the rear fender connecting to the gas tank. Nice video!!

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Yes indeed, and thanks J!

[@axelfoley5155]

Hey thanks for the content. I have a 2023 scout rogue and I love that bike. Everyone told me the next bike I should go to is the Chief but I love the scouts so much that I'm planning on going for the 101. I looked at bikes for a year while I learned the basics on a 2021 Honda monkey and as soon as I saw the scout I knew that was going to be my next bike. Going from 9 horsepower to 100 was a smooth transition thanks to how good of a bike the scout is.

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Absolutely, the Scout is a great bike in any version of it. The outgoing engine and the new 1250 speedplus just loves the throttle. I’m looking at a Chief as well to add to the garage those just like the rest of the lineup are really fun machines. Decisions are tough🤣🤣🤣

[@axelfoley5155]

@@FinesseTheChallenger lol yes they are! If I'm getting a chief I'm not going to get rid of the scout. I've never ridden the chief yet but I also didn't ride the scout before I bought it. I only rode the little Honda monkey and then bought the scout and it was like going from a horse to a rocket in comparison. Lol!

Great video brotha!! Very informative!

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Certified!!!!!🔥🔥💯

[@planetstang1143]

This was by far the best scout bobber video I've seen to date. I have been searching for a video that kind of just went over everything i needed to know about the bike and couldn't really find much. so great video man, very insightful!

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Thank you, I appreciate you checking out the video/channel. Good to hear it was beneficial for you. They really are some great bikes!🤙🏿

[@planetstang1143]

@@FinesseTheChallenger yes sir! love to see a fellow smaller channel making great content like this! thanks again!

[@sonnymolina8748]

Nice Video thank you so much for sharing this video I have a 2018 Indian Scout Bobber I absolutely love it

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Thanks, that's awesome. I am a bit new to the Scout game, but those bikes are just pure fun!

[@seamastercrypto]

Great review! 👏👏 Looking forward to receiving mine at the end of June. 2025 Scout Bobber with all Tech, Black Smoke 😮‍💨😮‍💨👌👌

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Niiiiice, pre-congrats! It really is a wonderful machine... I know the wait is the worst lol.

[@KeystoneTexan]

Another Victory rider? Hell Yeah!!

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Yup there are some out there running strong

[@johnnydangerously7186]

Best content yet on the new scout.

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Thanks, JD I really appreciate it... that means a lot!

[@chrishunter5041]

Nice Octane you don't see many of them about, I like the look of the Scout Classic.

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Very clean Octane too... it was well kept by the previous owner. The Scout Classic is nice looking, I think I prefer those fenders over the bobber style I am just not a fan of chrome.

[@TheWuseln]

Hey mate, nice video. I really liked how you interviewed McKenzie, interested and listening.

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Thanks for checking out the video, yeah, she was really cool. She was on her way out but took some time to discuss her bike and let us know about the Hinesville Bikelife FB group!

[@Wicked_RotF30]

I would love the navigation, however, i worry about screens failing aftet years of use like we see with phones and tablets. That is why i will opt for the classic gauge style.

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

I hear you, sometimes Darwin comes at you LOL... but I have seen the very first versions of the ride command systems on owned and used bikes and they still have full color and look good. TBH tho, I don't think there would be any issues with those screens or at least I have never heard of any issues... knock knock

[@user-zl7qs1xh2n]

Nice video nice bike my brother

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Thanks much!

[@joyasmith4628]

I’m torn between the 101 and the scout bobber for a 1st bike.

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

😬😬 oh dang! That’s a tough spot to be in…a good spot lol but a tough one. Flip a coin, both choices are great

[@mithrandirthegrey7644]

I preferred the Indian head logo instead of just the "INDIAN SCOUT" print. The Indian head logo looks fire. I suppose they added it on the engine but... Yeah. Don't know. Just my five cents. I LOVE the way the bike looks - but it needs to be with the smoke black color.

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

The black smoke always holds a special spot in my brain, just a smooth sleek color.

[@director2bob]

Hello friend....thanks so much for the video. I turn 62 next month and have decided to buy a motorcycle for my birthday. I have owned 4 Harleys in my life (883 sportster, WideGlide, Softail Deluxe and last bike was a 820 lb Street glide. I have not ridden since I sold my street glide 15 years ago. Because of my age I am concerned about buying another 800 lb Harley and when I saw this new Indian it seems like the perfect size & weight at 572 lbs which is much easier for an old fart like me to handle. I do LOVE torque and quick acceleration. So my question is does a lighter weight bike like this new Indian have the same acceleration as the bigger 114 engine found on Harleys? The Indian weighs 30% less than the Harley so wondering if the lower weight bike provides the same oomph found on the big twin engines. This just seems like the perfect bike for an older rider. The only accessories I would add are saddlebags and a detachable fairing if that's an option. I also do love the new Scout 101 which has just a tad more power. I do NOT plan on doing long rides. Maybe two hours at a clip so do not need a touring bike. Love to hear your opinion. Stay safe my friend and thanks again for the video.

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

B.L.U.F. Yes, this smaller bike feels just as strong if not stronger than the 114. Hello D2B! 62, Happy Early Birthday!! If you enjoy OEM speed, Indian Motorcycle will give you what you are looking for. As far as the Scout goes, I have not tested a Scout against the 114 however, IMO it pulls harder than the 114 (going off of seat feel only) if you are comparing it against "touring bikes". However, the smaller HD bikes such as the 114 Street Bob or Fat Boy might be a different story... rightfully so because those are a different class of bikes. Does this bike have ooompf, absolutely! From your description, you are looking for something smaller that still gives you some fun and I think if you were to get your preferred trim of the Scout (base, limited, or limited +tech) with the Overnighter package it would fit your needs perfectly. These 25s should be shipping to dealerships now I would see if I could test drive one to make sure. On a side note... if you get the outgoing Bobber model that is just as fun with 5 less hp all the accessories from the new model will fit on that model too... outside of the engine guards I believe. Not only that they are running some good discounts now on the outgoing models as well.

[@director2bob]

@@FinesseTheChallenger thanks so much for the detailed feedback & advice. Greatly appreciate you. Safe riding my friend. And once you mentioned the Harley Bober with 114, my brain quickly switched gears as I have only owned Harley’s. Maybe it’s time to just test drive both bikes. Thanks again🙏

[@Txcowboy80]

💯

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Thanks!

[@niko-l-]

I like old engine look better, new plastic ish

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

The engines do look different, but I think the 1250 fits with the aesthetic of the new styling, the body of the bike is a bit taller... give it some time it might grow on ya LOL... maybe?

[@motorhead4663]

Symmetry of the lines, except for the absolutely retarded offset fuel cap. I “ALMOST” ordered the outgoing model because my OCD flames up less on the recessed centered flush cap. The .1 added fuel capacity is a laughable joke, and I’d sacrifice the 5 mile added range for a better looking cap. And the fact that you have to buy a black one on a fully blacked out scout bobber is just as dumb.

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Yeah, chives were made. I’d rather have the old style fuel cap too it just made more sense but since they added keyless you would have to fiddle with getting the key out… so on and so forth. However all the other options you get on the new model are just🔥🔥🔥

[@that_bobber_guy]

I really like the 101. Although, I'm not really liking the look of the new motor. I have a 2022 bobber and part of why I think the bike looks so good is the motor

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

The 1250 is less flashy, it is a more simple style. But on the other hand... you will be zipping by so fast no one will see it LOL.

[@jasethejewman]

They completely ruined the bike all together won't be near as good of a seller then the 23 ..one step backwards for Indian

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

TBH, the bike still looks like a Scout and feels very much like the outgoing Scout but now you have options for the 4" ride command, key fob, suspension, and cruise control... However, I will say the tank felt much closer to my body which took some getting used to but all that melted away after a few minutes. The exhaust... I am not personally a big fan of it but, in most cases, people will be swapping it out anyway and I like the single slip-on look as opposed to the double.

[@Saburo82]

Когда-нибудь я куплю себе такой же мотоцикл. Обязательно.

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Great bike, hopefully you will be able to get it soon! Thanks for watching 🤙🏿
