2025 Indian Scout 101 vs Indian Scout Classic | First Ride Review | Americade 2024

[@twohouses2259]

Excellent review. I’m looking at both bikes and like the Classic, but not keen on wired rims - but, like your wife, I prefer the sitting possie. I wish the Classic had Ohlins on the back and upside-downs in the front, and the same rims as the Classic Sixty. I also like the Classics fenders - good in nasty weather. Hmmmm, decisions eh? Mind you - I’m coming from a Busa - and I like what the Scouts ( well a couple of them ) offer. NIce review - Cheers mate.

@@twohouses2259 thank you and you are so right, if there was a way to mix and match things from different Scouts that would be the hit right there! For me the suspension and brakes are the deal makers and the 101 is for me, but looks wise the classic and sixty really nail it… maybe Indian will listen to its customers and give us what we really want! Then I’m signing on the dotted line, for now Aprilia has my attention 🤞 😎

Excellent review of both bikes, and I appreciate the distinctions. Many thanks for posting.

Thank you! Both were really fun!

Best test ride I’ve seen on the scout

[@BradAHarvey]

I've never owned a cruiser so not sure if they are all the same way, but this is the most responsive bike I've ever owned absolute joy to ride.

[@tta850]

Agreed super responsive and fun, we continue to research them and I can see owning one in our future.

It’s a badass bike, just rode it over the weekend. Mirror we’re doing the same thing moving up and she puts you in your seat for sure.

riding with a cat... lets say g-d forbid she has an accident, the cat just tumbles along on her back and had no protection, yeah, I though about taking my small dog with me in one of those baby carrier up front and thought against it as its not fair to the animal should an accident occur ... ride safe

[@tta850]

Actually a Yorkie, and Lulu loves coming along for rides (she gets mad if we don’t take her and she lets us know!). We will do our best to never find out what would happen if things went wrong, ride safe 👏
