2024 Indian Scout 101 | First Ride

[@newbierides]

I got my 2025 sport scout a month ago, I freaking love it.

[@davidlagno7717]

Thank God for Indian. They really shocked me with these Scouts. All this electronic tech is something id look forward to in a cruiser and not in sportbikes where i spend the majority of my time with. I feel like sportbikes peaked in performance a decade ago. And American cruisers are just getting finally getting started with bikes like these giving guys my age (43) who are getting tired of sportbikes and interested in cruisers with so much to look forward to. Awesome video thank you 👍

[@j2z1000]

They need to up that fuel capacity. I have a 23 with some mods and I am well known at every gas station in town

[@447Film]

Agree

[@logangodofcandy]

Hey, aren't you that guy from the gas station?

[@Grand.Kanyan]

I daily drive my 2017 scout and it's almost on the dot 85/90 miles and the fuel light turns on. I have to refuel just about every other day...

That is the same bike Dan had. I went back and watched his first ride video near the end he shows the license plate, and the one your riding has the same number. I think the Scout 101 is awesome I;m thinking of getting one.

[@docskeekmo]

Fyi - you don’t need to wait for the screen to start to start the bike. And it’s a push to start. You don’t need to hold it in. Auto off blinkers.

[@tokyoyung215]

Sportster S is like a weird inbetween and confusion between the scout bobbers and the ftr. And we don’t even talk about the nightster

[@Omar411269]

The Sportster S is a naked bike cosplaying a cruiser. Harley shoulda just made the Bronx

[@slicksouth5773]

The nightster is a liquid cooled dyna in my opinion.

[@tokyoyung215]

@ I see all the 107 and 114 softails as modern dynas in my opinion. Nightster reminds me of a bad successor of the 883. If they put the revomax 1250 in the nightster I would heavily consider it

[@tokyoyung215]

@@Omar411269 Oh dude I was so livid hearing about the bronx just to be disappointed they were scrapping it

[@slingshotnerd]

That’s what happens when your company is owned by Blackrock

[@Rkeisuw]

Indians are awesome beautiful bikes.

[@YoBiEast713]

I bought the 2021 Scout Bobber , great looking bike . I loved the stance and the feel when riding it . I moved on from it to buy a bigger bike for travel . If money was not an issue I would have kept it .

[@WatchMattGo]

I own a 23 scout rogue. I absolutely love it. It out runs pretty much every other cruiser and touring bikes. Its light and nimble. Sounds good, super reliable. Always breaks necks on the road. If I didnt get one in 23 I would have definitely picked up the 101 or even just a Sport Rogue. Biggest complaint just as he expressed is the fuel tank size and any scout before 24 has no fuel gauge so you just push to 100 miles and fill it up haha. But so worth the purchase!

[@TheInterloafer]

I think this is actually the 2025 model year, no?

[@jasoncooper3735]

Man I sure enjoy your content. And when the buell super cruiser is available that would be some great fun content if it’s on your radar.

[@vizzle89]

I have one exactly like that except I swapped the exhaust for a deanspeed one. Really makes it pop. Next thing for any owner of this motorcycle is when pairing your Cardo Packtalk edge and phone you must do it in an order. Pair the headset first by putting it in pairing mode then roll it to “Bike” mode to pair. Then pair for phone (my case iPhone) to the bike. That’s how you can see the music/text/phone calls on your dash without having to use a Phone Mount. BUT if you really want a quad lock go for it. Edit: last bit, sport mode is the only mode. Don’t be scurred

[@lampshade452]

Thanks for reviewing this one.

[@s2foci]

Funny this is one of the bikes I’m considering because I don’t know what the hell I want. Done with crotch rockets, tired of the wind blast of nakeds. Never had a cruiser but also considering adv and sport touring too. Just need to get out and ride some different bikes this spring

Even just kicking the tires at a dealership and sitting on different bikes helps me. Good luck!

[@russelld5838]

Im considering one of these as my next, the only thing i would like to see added to your first ride specs is adding in thr fuel economy rating, I ride my bikes daily during the summer, and I commute 115 miles each day, so fuel economy is something I consider pretty heavily.

[@yusufherbin6146]

Expect to fuel up everyday, most tanks last me between 120-150miles, bike lives in sports mode and I'm pretty aggressive on the throttle 24/7

[@mirkocometti8452]

Con serbatoio pieno "13 litri" ad andatura tranquilla, strade urbane e extraurbane, 250km "circa 155 miglia" di percorrenza...

[@MrBullet888]

Not sure if they're still in business but anyone buying a Scout should look up Hacker Exhaust. Wake the dead loud and I had it on my 2016 Scout. Nice bike but not thrilled with all the electronic stuff. I get it though.

[@aaronzavala7464]

There is no 2024 Scout 101! It's a 2025! Know what you're reviewing before doing it

[@rayrayk7458]

I kinda wondered same thing

[@rayrayk7458]

I have a 24 Scout Rogue i got in May. Since it got cold here in Nor Cal, it's hard ro start too. I have it in a battery tender every night. Add fuel additives every fuel up too. I need to contact Indian.

[@c.church5661]

The scouts aren't big on cold temperatures. Anything below 50 or so degrees and it'll struggle to start. Couple things you can try to help it start is prime the starter 2 or 3 times, swap the battery out for a lithium or the biggest thing that works, take a space heater and stick it by the engine for like an hour or till the temp on the bike gets up to around 70. Should fire up just fine.

[@ctsnider88]

OC.that was close. It was a good year. Till next year.

[@christopherwilde6673]

Strongly considering this for a first bike. To preface, I’m 38. So I’m a bit old for starting on sports bikes now lol

[@docskeekmo]

I have the 101. I love it. But for really getting comfy on a bike, I’d consider also picking up a second low cc light round town used put put to jump on and work practice runs.

[@GucciiRamen]

You can definitely have it as a first bike. You just need to respect the power it has and seriously take it easy. That machine can get you killed very easily if not ridden responsibly. Take care man

[@mirkocometti8452]

Io lho presa a 50 anni e vado senza problemi... P. S. Terza marcia tocca i 180kmh... 😀😀😀... Si magari come prima moto puoi scegliere qualcosa di più tranquillo... Ma pure con questa secondo me se non vai a cannone te la puoi cavare... Poi ci prendi la mano e via... 😏😏😏...

[@sbeast1216]

Fuel gauge too accurate, I'm going to "cry about it." Ok...

[@OrinzalWilliams]

WOW! Your gas situation gave me anxiety.

[@robruhcop]

Bruh...The 101 is a 2025 model, not a 2024. Smh

[@mikeonabus]

How many miles per gallon does whispering add?

[@mattstakeontheancients7594]

Biggest question is would you take it over the sportster s. Thought about trading my SS for the 101

[@GEN084]

It’s way better than the sportster s

[@mattstakeontheancients7594]

@ kinda seemed that way. I’m still waiting on the buell super cruiser. No idea if it’s really going into production or they just gonna keep delaying it.

[@Idroppedmygrilledcheesefug]

@@mattstakeontheancients7594two different bikes. Really depends on what you’re looking for. The sportster s feels more like a naked bike than a cruiser

[@mattstakeontheancients7594]

@ I can see that. If definitely rides like a naked bike though I put a mini fairing on mine so longer trips aren’t to bad. Wish it had a rear fender so I could put a sissy bar on it. One of the areas I think Indian outdid Harley.

[@kevinhenault434]

Sticking with the Moto Guzzi Stone Corsa

[@mirkocometti8452]

[@hermansandy5127]

What's the 0-60 on this bike? Is it faster than a Low Rider S?

[@rickiekm]

You should get at least 150miles on a tank, and if you leave the key on while sitting still, the computer calculates your mileage with no forward travel. When you speed up it calculates your forward travel increasing your range.

[@Grand.Kanyan]

@@rickiekm Nope, gas light on my 2017 kicks on at about 85/90 miles. 3.3 gallons just doesn't get you too far

[@yusufherbin6146]

I commute on my 101 daily 120-150miles

[@thehomeless_trucker]

You're not getting 150 miles on 3 gallons with this bike... the most I've got on my scout rogue was 115 miles until the light came on, and you have 8 miles after that. That is babying the bike. If you're romping on it and keeping it it within 5,000-6000rmps, light is coming on at 80 miles. Fuel range has never been an issue for me.

[@Grand.Kanyan]

@@thehomeless_trucker I wish they made aftermarket tanks with at least 4 gallons. I'd sell my left nut rn

[@Windaine]

Too much tech in these new bikes

[@ravenarrow4631]

That's why I bought both a Royal Enfield Scram 411 and a Moto Guzzi V7 Stone Special Edition. Minimal tech, both are air cooled, and super easy to maintain, especially valve checks on the Moto Guzzi as it's a V twin that's out the sides and not sitting under the tank like almost every motorcycle. They need to make cars like those bikes, instead of this bs that costs $50k+ and costs a ton to maintain while being a nightmare for diy.

[@Windaine]

@ agreed

[@slingshotnerd]

the base model scout has bare minimum technology

[@Frank_Torre]

OC: Everything about the bike screams it's a Purchase, but damn the fuel measuring is gotta be off. For it to fluctuate so much so easily. It really needs a bigger fuel tank, unless you plan to ride in rain mode forever. Otherwise the looks, performance, suspension and riding position say it's a buy. Until you realize EVERY petrol ⛽ station will know you by first, middle and last name.

[@viperq]

I wonder the if 101 will go down in price a few years, anyways good video.

[@samita137]

Man you always low on gas why not just gas it up for a buck or two before you start making the video. Getting tired of that low gas stress man come on don’t be cheap.

[@sinswashed4013]

Man still dont have the updated H2SX first ride.

[@zach-hu6qv]

Keep my indian FTR or trade it in for this?

[@davidlagno7717]

The Scout Bobber and FTR are so awesome. I'd want both they're filling different voids. It's so awesome we finally got American cruisers with great performance and forced Harley to up their game. The Harleys aren't reliable enough for the price tag. Consider yourself blessed.

[@slingshotnerd]

It depends on your preference and money situation. If you can afford it then yea I would do it.

[@randomspace6491]

Yall can view my stuff if you dont believe me. But i just wanted to say that yes its a 2025 model. And yes the exhaust (stock) isnt great. And yes the touch screen tech package isnt great. I got the tech limited package. Because theres 3 trims you can get. You dont have to have that screen. Tbh to me thats a ridiculous flaw that it takes forever to start. So i got the limited plus a free flow exhaust. Which btw doesnt require a tune. This bike doesnt require a tune or flash for a full exhaust swap. Ive noticed very little difference and the manufacturer said it wasnt required. So thats cool. The 101 is a nice bike. However i dont know how necessary having that upgraded suspension and brakes is just for 6 more horse power. Which btw you can get the standard 2025 scout up to 111hp with a 220$ calibration. So it will have virtually the same engine performance minus the paint job and olins. Which tbh you dont need. But if you want it you should have it. Its just my opinion. Which triggers some 😂

[@Kricket2390]

I think you just need to one press the start button and not hold it

[@qcfpwubster9262]

Bro you got me scared as if i was the one who is riding the Bike

[@darellrobinson5340]

i want to see you review a ninja zx4rr

[@tjey379]

Ha, I am glad that you are proud to be you but about this bike, it is pretty but man I am tired of tech,. Seriosly, now a person has to wait for a minute or two while the bike loads? That's nasty and it will probably get worse as the bike gets older. Also the false low reading thing with the fuel gauge my bike does that too.

[@darrenstopler3045]

Should have put fuel in it and not spent most the video on how low on fuel you are - but the rest great stuff 👍

[@AlexandStuff]

Really between this bike and the sportster s as a second bike. Probably just commuting with it so mpg isnt imperative. Both seem to have serious downsides though; comfort on the SS and unreliable tech on scout.

[@c.church5661]

I wouldn't bother with the sportster S, the ergo's are god awful. You might could see if the 101 comes in the limited trim. Has everything minus the digital dash, which might be the biggest issue everyone talks about.

[@AlexandStuff]

@@c.church5661 Whats the number one bike you have reviewed this year that you would recommend?

[@bingbing2515]

Only thing that put me off of the 101 is that TFT screen is horrendous; those fat bezel are just as bad as the Yamaha Bolt. Plus the fact that it takes 10 seconds to “load”. So far the H-D sportsters TFT seems cleaner and no touch screen means eyes on the road.

[@bingbing2515]

…. Besides that probably the best looking small cruiser in the market.
