I Finally Bought An Indian...There's Just One Problem

[@HegshotRides]

I’m stoked to have this opportunity. Thank you all and good luck! fanathem.com/hegshot

[@fan-a-them]

Hey man, we are thrillled to support small business creators like you. It takes guts to commit to this full time and you've got a loyal audience who is grateful for the content and your perspective. LFG! Now can you help make me a better rider somehow? haha.

[@DonMachado]

I have a Scout Bobber 20. I upgraded the suspension and the seat. It's my everyday driver, and ride 100+ miles on the weekend with my club. It's perfectly comfortable with the upgrades and I can ride it all day, no soreness. If I had the current bobber, I would want it to be like my Bobber 20. I would have to upgrade the suspension, change the handlebars to the 10" apes. Of course they don't offer laced wheels in the Scout Bobber, only on the Super Scout and the Scout Classic. $1200.00 to buy them separate. All in all, to turn the current bobber into my bobber 20, the cost would be such that I could just buy a Chief instead and the price would be so close as to not make any difference. Of course, none of that will stop me from entering. 😆

His channels subs are most likely Harley riders, a video about how much he likes an Indian bike or any other bike wouldn’t get as many clicks

[@stephenparnell5853]

Now I'm pissed wasting my time on click bait.

[@JefLeFloch]

8:15 FYI, the older Scout Bobber was also a 6 speed. The smaller engine Scout Bobber sixty has a 5 speed transmission, but its 5th gear has EXACTLY the same ratio as the 69ci's 6th gear. (kinda makes the 60ci a beast if you mod it )

[@TheJjs33]

I won't waste anyone's time!! I just bought a 23 scout and love it!! no issues at all!

[@lpd1snipe]

How is it riding in the rain with those stubby fenders?

[@HHUBERTHILGERS-l1s]

I have listened for 4 minutes. During that time you have not said anything constructive about the topic. All you did was talk about yourself. I am 81. I have owned models from all major brands with about 20 Harley’s and until 3 years ago no Indians. However, my last two purchase were a 16 and a 21 Scout ABS. I decked them out to my fit/size and my way for touring. Bottom line: These 2 Scouts are the best motorcycles I have ever owned and ridden. I agree with some of the other responders that you should not bad-mouth a motorcycle that simply does not fit you. You are a relative heavyweight guy. I’m a relative lightweight. I have been a motorcycle riding instructor in my younger days. I can tell you that lightweight folks can ride big bikes but big guys should hesitate to ride lightweight bikes. Now at older age it’s becoming harder and harder to maneuver big heavy bikes in parking lots. I now prefer the lighter bikes like these Scout and Sportster. Again, if you’re gonna talk about an issue STAY with the issue and stay focused on that.

[@Rhetorical346]

Glad I saw all the comments about this video being clickbait bullshit. I didn't bother to watch it.

[@jasonhdpatton917]

Now im pissed cuz I watched this

[@SVTBansheeman]

Looks like a raffle not a give away. I like the channel and wish yall the best👍

[@jonnymac8925]

I'm not an Indian guy or a fan of the Scout model for the most part but the Scout 101 and the FTR might be the first two I buy! They are definitely doing some cool stuff!

[@tristinswain]

Just bought a the FTR super hooligan a few days ago, that thing is so exhilarating!!!

[@paulie_b9363]

Not a giveaway if you have to pay for a ticket. But good video…regardless of the click bait title.

[@dhc8guru]

You’re pissed because you’re giving it away. Only took 13:48 to find that out.

[@thomaskavney4656]

Be kinda nice if this guy had any idea as to what he is talking about

[@GregReynolds-h8d]

Retired, cant afford a ticket let alone a new Scout 60 rogue. Would buy one but got de-railed by high mortgage interest rate(7.625) and inflation. To all who worked all their lives like me, 1974 to 2022 I wish you well!

[@mortondavisproductions7578]

Next time, invest a bit more and purchase the Indian that suites you better. You're a heavy dude, so make sure you purchase a bike that has shocks and a seat and handlebars that better suite you, rather than buying something that doesn't suite you and pointing it out as a negative. Lighter, nimbler, riders wouldn't have the same issue(s) you have with this particular model. Your title for this advertisement doesn't sit well with me, as it implies that there is something wrong with Indian motorcycles. You know this, so I recommend using language that doesn't imply negativity toward Indian motorcycles. I ride an Indian Roadmaster and absolutely love it. A guy your size would be better off to invest in a larger bike... otherwise, modify the bike as you suggested, and you will have yourself a bike you enjoy riding.

[@stephencummins7589]

I agree with the comments, this has been a waste of time load of crap.

[@Nelsonriggusa]

Looks like our Road Trip Saddlebags would fit on your bike and would look pretty badass. Let us know if you want to try a set out... - Kyle at Nelson Rigg

[@matt24fc]

All the 1133 scouts had 6 speed transmissions. Only the sixty's had a 5 speed

[@MrMarcinius]

Dislike for the clickbait title - You lost a potential subscriber my dude

[@williamlutsch4259]

I have a roadglide performance bagger. Was thinkin about getting the wife a scout 101 cause i know she loves that red paint job. She had a fat bob 114, soo, this should be a great bike for her

[@archerxo1]

We've seen this before.... buy a raffle ticket at a high price and recoup your cost and then some for the product that you're raffling off at the same time Garner subscriptions. There's a number of people that are pissed off at the clickbait choice that you made versus just being honest about raffling off a motorcycle. I'm not only mad about the fact that you didn't say anything worthwhile about Indian Motorcycles I'm also pissed off about the tactic that you took. So no I won't get a membership for this channel nor will I for your gun Channel. People make mistakes and maybe you'll correct this sort of behavior

[@kellanhills1972]

That is actually illegal in South Carolina unless you are a non profit.

[@anthonyhernandez3101]

Bro is not knowledgeable about the brand and is just winging it. He is mad about a single 2-in-1 exhaust appearance when a 2-in-1 exhaust gives the bike more horsepower. He is pis*ed that he is giving it away like what?

[@jlrutube1312]

2 in 1 exhaust usually gives more room for saddle bags or hard bags too. So I like it.

[@jeffzeidner4396]

At 14:18 he finally states what is pissing him off. That he is giving it away. Glad I fast forwarded.

[@SB-mw1bg]

My choice would be the Sport Scout if I was buying new. I do own a 19 Scout Bobber and love it.

[@albertosoto6213]

Horrible click bait title!

[@christianwurm3845]

Whow. At the VERY end you finally reveal what you are pissed about - that you gonna give it away. If that's not a perfect example of a clickbait headline i don't know what is. (not so) Funfact: Stumbled across a very similar thing with a vid by Blockhead (clickbait: Is Indian dying?) just yesterday. Oh please.🙄 Would rather see someone asking Polaris why they offer such limited range of parts to customize an Indian by themselve. HD has a decades old aftermarket globally. Exactly that is Indian missing and it's the biggest/only flaw of this brand. Do better.

[@felipemotorhead]

The only problem is that you can't stop riding it

[@marcorecinos8629]

I got the limited and does not come with keyless

[@orlandopena9992]

Ive worked in parts my whole life, in dealerships too, the hours sucked though

[@vizzle89]

The issue I have with this bike so far is that I don’t trust the digital tach. Sure it says I’m doing 60 or 100 but I don’t trust those figures cause it’s not analog. I have a Scout 101 that I’ve only put about 80 miles on so far (trying to use it as my commuter so not riding it needlessly) and the limited + tech option is cool being able to use cruise control and let your throttle hand rest a bit. The onboard navigation I haven’t fiddled with much because there is a lot of options to click through in the menus. My biggest gripe is that the ride command shows TPMS sensors but the bike doesn’t even come installed with tpms. I paid msrp 16,750

[@davidsandoval764]

Thank you for the detailed info!!! I daily/road trip a 2022 Rouge and considered the 101. But keeping what I have and maybe doing a 1300cc down the line sounds a lot more exciting.

[@adamrijk1858]

12 min in and its about the rear shocks, bars and seat that can all be upgraded from factory. Or replaced with OEM upgraded parts.

[@eliinthewolverinestate6729]

At first glance I wonder about the rear shock placement and angle.

[@PotatoeJoe69]

It's geometrically a great angle. Hell, look at the shock in the M8 Softails. It's basically horizontally mounted under the seat 😂

[@dirkmassey5654]

What do you think of 'em as far as ridin' long distance? e.g., New Jersey to Florida; N' Jersey to Maine; L.A. to San' Fran'. Or more realistic N.Y.C. to Philly, which is about 95 miles apart?

[@BossMan302]

The thing about paying 100 dollars a year for a membership is I wouldn’t mind if there were more videos. I can’t justify that much for 1 video a week (maybe) I pay less than that for a year of PS Plus and you get 1000s of free video games, movies , and tv shows.

[@Isleofchocolope0U812]

Guns and bikes.....great combo. I have a scout. The worst for me since I'm short were the handlebars. The rear shocks are some of the worst so replaced them with Progressive 444s and replaced the seat with an Indian Rogue. Have an Ends Cuoio saddle bag, best available, Imo and a Hemispheres fender rack

[@superhappyhour8317]

I got a Toce low mount exhaust for my FTR and it is the meanest sounding bike within 100 miles. I don't know if they make one for the Scout but I would highly recommend if they do.

[@carolinebracero2366]

Thanks for talking about this bike! I've been really liking it for a long time! I also appreciate your opinions on what you would do to it. I think i'm going to try and enter! Thanks man!

[@christopherdekonstrukt444]

I like a slimmer front tire. My neighbor in Algiers had a 2015 Scout and I didn't like the chunky front tire.

[@lowspeed2300]

I hope it rides better than the first one, which was a back breaker over large bumps. The rear shocks are angled so steep, I don't see how they could work well.

[@ericben1798]

Your video shows the low entry model.. As far as the Scout bobber tech model with ride mode options.. If you put it in “sport” mode.. does it gives more power at all? No one ever mention this

[@thomaswaibel253]

What's the thing on the left of the bars sticking up?

[@master33842]

2 into 1 exaust might not be esthetically pleasing, but the performance increase is worth it. 9:59

[@d.f.9064]

I rode a slightly modified Indian Scout last month. My first time on an Indian. It scared the crap out of me.

[@chevellerr]

I got a Triumph Bonneville Bobber last summer after originally looking at the Scout. Bang for the buck it was a better deal. If this one was around then I would have went with the Indian. Evey point that had a problem with last year's model has been addressed.

[@Rambiker2023chief]

I don’t understand dudes that have ridden a chief then go and buy a scout. I’ve ridden my buddy’s scout with performance upgrades, the chief is infinitely better in every way. More comfortable, more powerful where it matters, more stable, sounds way way way better, engine brakes way better, makes the right vibrations and looks better. Makes the scout feel like a Japanese bike. Scout is still a nice bike but with the price being so close to chief. I don’t get it

[@logangodofcandy]

I'm considering for my next bike. I have a scrambler 1200xc. Love it to death. Want a shorter road only bike and am considering the scout or chief sport among others. Is the chief sport really head and shoulders over a scout?

[@Rambiker2023chief]

@@logangodofcandy look if you’re the type that values numbers on paper, the scout has more hp and less weight and might be quicker to 60 by a hair. If you value experience, the chief is better in literally every way. Test them both. For me the chief looked better and had more presence on the road. The torque hits like a sledgehammer in sport mode and it doesn’t require to rev to the moon to get moving. A twist of the throttle in any gear will get you out of a bad situation. You’ll need to downshift 3 gears to get that torque out of a scout. Test ride all your options and pick what your heart desires. Not what the internet says or the specs suggest

[@vitolinguini5615]

I had an 05 dyna superglide first, then bought an 01 sporty 1200 as a 2nd bike... l still enjoy them both.

[@jps4737]

Feels nothing like a japanese bike. I didn't buy the Chief for all the opposite reasons. It's a solo bike nitnworse or better just different. Just love what you love and don't bag a good bike in the Scout.

[@Rambiker2023chief]

@@jps4737 I believe I’m entitled to my opinion as you are yours. Chief is just better everywhere that’s not a race track. To me the scout it felt more Japanese in that its power is up in the rev range and pretty gutless under 5000 rpm where the chief is at peak power at that rpm. So to each his own. A sporty bike with cruiser looks or a cruiser with gobs of torque. We give opinions and the OP will pick what resonates with them. Cheers

[@MisterEldon]

How many bar codes have you found on the Scout. I have the 101. I found 15 bar codes so far. That bugs me big time.

[@thomascarpenter7415]

That exhaust is way nicer than the Revolution Sportster .

[@high_commando]

Thanks for the great video man. You will do great going full-time KZbin too! Would you recommend the Scout or Scout 60 for a first bike?

[@pootmahgoots8482]

I love my 2018 Scout Bobber and 2024 Scout 101. Great bikes. Plenty of power stock with options to add power.

[@CraigSmith568]

Indian makes nothing that appeals to me, but I do like the analog gauges and cruise control. Couldn't imagine riding this thing being folded up like a taco. I don't care about keyless fob either. I like having a key to lock my gas tank and steering lock. Japanese manufacturers have it right in that you have to unlock the steering in order to start the bike. I did like the FTR when I saw the rendering, but the actual bike was a disappointment and nearly roasted me in a 10 minute ride.

[@StacyBaldwin-qv5cj]

The first thing I noticed about the scout was how top heavy it is. Such an unbalanced bike, even compared to my full dresser ultra classic

[@damnice]

This is literally one of the lowest center-of-gravity bikes on the market? It's more likely that it's just too heavy in general for you or the handle bars & seat combo needed some adjustments. I'm assuming that you're a woman so a lot of stock setups are meant to fit a more average audience. The stock scout feels too small for me but I don't think I've ever ridden a lower gravity bike. Which is another complaint scouts get, all the peg scraping lol.

[@StacyBaldwin-qv5cj]

@@damnice I'm a 5'10" man who weighs 230 pounds. I have been riding motorcycles since 1975. My favorite bike is a CR 500, second place is my 83 CR480. If you had been paying attention to what I wrote, you would have noticed I have a full dresser ultra classic. That is a 950 pound bike. So when you tell me this bike has the lowest center of gravity, I'm gonna go ahead and say you're a fking liar.

[@damnice]

@@StacyBaldwin-qv5cj wow, somebody's pms needs a midol. With all that experience you'd think handling an entry level bike like the scout wouldn't be so hard for you.
