Cruise control is the only thing the Rogue really needs. Don’t need the fancy gauge cluster, or ride modes distracting from the ride itself. As far as the smaller gas tank, it’s fine. Stopping often to take in the sights and stretch your legs is what makes touring on a motorcycle fun. My nephew ordered a Rogue and I’m looking forward to checking it out when he gets it.

Ive had my 2023 Scout Rogue for about a month now and have put a little over 1000 miles on it. The ONLY thing I wish it had was cruise control. A bigger tank would be nice, but thats why we have bigger bikes in general. I ride back and forth to work (about 25 miles one way) and typically fill up a couple times a week. No big deal since its like $15 at a time at most. I typically have a backpack on me so I dont care about the saddlebags much, but man if this bike had cruise control it would be damn near perfect

Excellent observations and recommendations. Though I no longer have my ISB because I was hit head-on and it was totaled, when I went to get back on a new one, it was just lacking. Your recommendations are spot-on, especially the storage issue. My only concern is the 19" front tire because it limits you in tire choices if you want a matched set. Finally, the rear suspension needs an overhaul. I'll still take the Scout over the Chief because I prefer liquid-cooled over the look of air-cooled. Maybe the Challenger is a better choice.

Technically the Bobber's tire is taller than the Rogue. The Bobber uses a 90 series tire which is 25.2 inches in diameter and the 60 series tire that the Rogue comes with is 25.1 inches in diameter. It's gonna be a preference of looks mainly

Having ridden the scout rogue I find it way more comfortable then the standard bobber. Having said that there are two major deficits that any new owner would need to address… first the rear shock, it has almost no travel and your spine will feel every bump in the road. So you need to add $500-1000 to get the fox shock or something similar. The second thing is the exhaust which is way too quiet and anaemic. No fuel gauge in 2023 is also pretty lame. Apart from that it’s awesome. The riding position is great with the mini apes and the forward controls.

Good observations. I agree with most of your thoughts, but owning the standard Scout, I cannot visualize a larger tank without jacking up the looks of current model. I am more accustomed to larger tanks also but can always get 140 mi. out of mine before refueling. Storage / luggage capacity is also a pain, but I do not see any other options than saddle bags. I knew this when purchasing, and was not an issue for me, as most trips are not overnight. I agree that dual discs up front would be an asset, but also believe Indian was looking at a specific price point when they introduced the Rogue. Maybe the logic is a person will move up after a year of two. Nice video.
@RidgeRoamer2 жыл бұрын
I agree that a larger looking tank could mess up the lines, so I think the center of the tank is where it would need to expand, and maybe move the intake to the side like the larger Indian engines. The saddlebags on the standard Scout are great, but they don't fit on the Bobber or Rogue, which is why storage is such a problem. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Just watched RickyBobberMoto's video about the Rogue and i think he hit the nail on the head.....Indian wants to keep the Scout at an entry level price. Sure, I'd love to see a 1300cc Scout with digital navigation and electronic cruise control, but a bike like that would eat into the Chiefs sales. IF you are wanting those upgrades, that IS what the Chief is for, and I'm thankful they delivered it! The Rogue is just another choice for entry level riders and keeping the price point low was Indians goal on this bike.

I am 65 and have some arthritis coming on. I have been riding off and on for 50 years. One aspect of the Scout line that caught my attention was the low weight compared to other cruisers of the same class and the constant descriptions of the bike being nimble. The Chief weighs close to 700 lbs clocking in at 670 compared to the Scouts 545. I would like to have the option of purchasing the tech without the added weight and displacement which may not be a viable option for many such as myself. I understand it from Indian's concern over losing Chief sales to the lower costs bikes but in the long run I can see it being more financially prudent for them to attract buyers wanting more tech at a lower bike size. Just my opinion.
@RidgeRoamer2 жыл бұрын
@@razorback6098 Yes, lower price is only one reason to choose the Scout.
