2021 Indian Scout Bobber!...Best Bobber Yet?

[@epontius]

Just bought a Bobber as my first bike. I had thought about the Scout 60 Bobber but figured I would outgrow it soon and would have regretted not getting the full Scout Bobber. As a beginner rider, I have really enjoyed the Scout Bobber and don't think it is too much for a new rider.

[@digidrum2003]

Getting mine delivered in 3 days days....I am a begginer....any pointers for me for riding this bike? Thanks.

[@epontius]

@@digidrum2003 it is actually very forgiving. There is a pretty wide latitude in gear shifting. I would definitely recommend baby steps. I started just riding around my neighborhood and then kind of widened out from there going further out and just pushing your envelope by challenging yourself. Find a nice empty parking lot to practice some turns and such. The bike has a low center of gravity and long wheelbase which makes it pretty steady. Be careful on the highway at speed with any crosswinds as the bike is relatively light so you do get pushed around. Overall, I still don't regret it as my first bike. It's been great to learn on and practice with. Good luck!

[@digidrum2003]

@@epontius Thanks for the tips. Be safe.

[@Chillin4030]

Personally I would suggest getting a meh condition used scout 60 for a first bike just to learn on and trade it in later for a new scout. But I'm glad it worked for you.

[@epontius]

@@Chillin4030 I had thought about a scout 60, but then figured I'd grow out of it too quickly. And there are a number of expressways I travel that have 70+ mph speed limits...so didn't know how the 60 would hold up to that. The regular scout bobber took no time to get used too. Turned out to have been the right decision for me.

[@stuartprettel7378]

I just bought a 2021 Scout Bobber Twenty from American Biker. Immediately put some Vance and Hines twin slash on it and I absolutely love this bike. Compliments everywhere I go. American Biker was awesome. Great guys.

[@purdyquibb]

I was amazed. I put the V&H 4in slash cuts on my scout and although it is debatable, I think, on occasion, its to loud. They truly are awesome. Especially on the downshift. Pop,pop,pop, lol.

[@crazyweirdperson]

I was gonna buy one for my birthday this year coming up very soon, but... I ended up buying a 2021 GMC Canyon I needed a truck got one hell of a deal I couldn’t turn down on. Hopefully I’ll get one sooner then later.

[@liljfunk21]

Did you do the complete exhaust system or is it slip-ons?

[@liljfunk21]

@JEFF RICE what is your intake on the Freedom performance 2-1 exhaust ?

[@liljfunk21]

@JEFF RICE sounds good

[@BlackbirdSSR]

That color is AMAZING!

[@aasimyousaf2455]

Incredible bike. Really hope to own one within the next few years

[@malikon6953]

same here. Love the look of it, and this color the burgundy and flat-black just looks so good.

[@sJ-bb8lr]

I was leaning toward Indian over Harley and this video has enforced my decision.. 👍

[@felipemotorhead]

Same, but I will get in next few months

[@RNGesus15]

Just got my 2023 scout bobber. Have to get the drivers license for bike but the bike is standing in my garage and I sit on it nearly every day and I just dream 😅😍

[@headus70]

saw a picture of the bobber a few months ago and that made me go for a driving license for motorcycles...at an age of 52 it might seem to be a bit late but I don't care..I have fallen in love with that bike and hopefully next year it will be mine (or maybe the year after that)^^

[@RickyBobber]

Curious if you ever got one

[@robertsao6511]

To my eyes, it’s the best looking bike so far, It will be my first bike early next year.

[@JesusIsLord7773]

Yeah let us know if you got it!

[@MrSlidthunder]

Did you get it?

[@brandonmunson2414]

Buying my first bike this year. Buying the white and black bobber. Couldn't be more excited.

[@thedude8526]

Did you end up getting it? Howd you like it?

[@coltonj.9848]

This bike is what I plan to upgrade to after my honda rebel 500

[@mikekimveteran]

Getting my pal to upgrade from a Honda CBR 250... I am like Bro, you are an O-6 in the military, treat yourself right... Go Indian Sixty!

[@EdwinRosasFoo]

Same bro!

[@RAvlogs007]

Same! But the new 2022 chief dark horse is also tempting, but the scout bobber looks more badass.

[@romaaesthetics7682]

Just buy this as your first bike.

[@Sir_Mikel_Bass]

I have the Indian Scout 100 Year Edition, it was my first bike (however I had ridden my fathers 93' Sportster [the big one] a few times) it does have a lot of power for a beginner, but I think over all it is a good beginner bike since its so low to the ground and light. Also since it has the extra power you don't have to switch to a larger bike a year or two down the line once you move into novice territory. I would recommend the highway bars and rear foot pegs, they add a decent amount of protection if you end up laying the bike over; also the engine automatically cuts off if/when it notices the bike has been laid over.

[@joshuabee7333]

Thank you! This is my dream bike. I ride BMX, road bikes, mountain bikes etc. I've never ridden a motor bike, but I do have 13 years of experience doing cycling sports. I want the Indian Scout or Bobber so bad, but I hear, "it's too much power." If I ride conservatively until I'm comfortable, would that be a bad idea? My second choice is the Rebel 1100.

[@Sir_Mikel_Bass]

@@joshuabee7333 The Scout/Bobber has high end power - it loves high RPMs, its a bit sluggish in the low end, I found that 3rd gear was the sweet spot for the standard 30-35 mph that most residential streets are posted. Even goosing the throttle from a dead stop didn't seem to kick the tail out on me - so I feel like it is a decent starter bike. The "too much power" part comes from the ability for it to get up and go and go fast once you get above a few K RPM and the temptation you get to go faster and pull some G's - as long as your responsible with it then its a non-issue. Also the lean angle is slim, so you have to be aware how fast you go around corners or your foot stands will drag and if they hit a pot hole will kick the rear out from under your - I almost had this happen to me.

[@TopshelfJunior]

Man that color is sumthin ELSE !!! Whew !!! Sick !!! Makes me think / look at this bike as a possible first cruiser purchase, wow !!!

[@applemuffin7253]

Your review is 100% spot on I purchased my 2020 GSXR 1000 and thought I would enjoy having one after so many years from not owning a bike What a mistake owning one I sold it Wednesday and purchased a scout bobber Thursday Unfortunately 3 months wait until I receive my bobber from the dealership

[@rubensahak9178]

curious why you did not like the suzuki

[@josiahjohnson3121]

Same story... I bought a gxsr again after not owning one for a long time and ended up selling it too then buying this bike ... guess I'm growing up. Loved the gxsr!!!

[@MikeD-ISC2019]

I'm glad I found your video. I'm actually buying my first bike around Christmas time, definitely going to be an Indian, and I'm torn between the Scout Bobber and the Chief. I REALLY like both of those bikes, now just time to decide between the two. I guess if I'm somehow able to test ride both, that would help to make up my mind.

[@claudedupras2492]

Never had a thing for bikes. This one got me looking. Need the sound though.

[@Ma7tian_]

Absolutely in love with this bike! This is definitely going to be my next bike once Im experienced

[@jonathanvalero648]

Love my 2020 ruby smoke bobber easily best bike of the year

[@TheRaspberryFlavored]

I'm 6'2 and don't fit well on the bobber, but the regular scout fits me nicely since the seat is lower. Hope this helps somebody.

[@TheRaspberryFlavored]

@破壊神ビルス I went with the 1100 Rebel and I love it!

[@SwisstedChef2018]

Absolutely great, WOW , I buy it for my wife. This is a great bike. I have a Vintage Chief, I am a staunch ex HD driver, I need my chrome but this is fantastic. Great review and thank you Hegshot Rides SC

[@DropDeadFrederick]

You DEFINITELY know your market! I've been looking into getting a motorcycle and I most definitely was looking at the HD Iron 883. Saw an ad on FB for Indian, gave it a look and I'm in love with this bike. Dollar for dollar this bike looks like it's a much better value over the 883. Never thought I'd say this but I'm actually REALLY GLAD I saw the ad on FB! lol! This bike is exactly what I'm looking for. The color is exactly what I wanted too. The 883 is great (my neighbor has one), but you nailed it when you said that it has old school look combined with a modern refined machine. Unfortunately I'm not local to you so I can't buy one from you though. :(

[@fredito60]

Didn't even know you had a motorcycle channel I follow your gun channel. Love the grind 💪🏾

[@crazyweirdperson]

Just ordered mine waiting for it. Ordered the Jade smoke color. The blacks were on a 4 month wait. Crazy!

[@matthewhill3996]

Mini apes fixes the back issue as u said. I’ve had my bobber 3 years….it’s ok for new riders too. I wanted my first bike to not ne too much to handle, but it also needed to have the power and speed to where I won’t want to trade it out for something bigger within a year. It’s also low to the ground, 25 inches from the ground is the seat so even a person standing 5’7 or taller can flat foot it

[@barraobriain773]

Agree with your assessment of the handlebars. Added 6in mini apes and it was perfect.

[@skottlee8959]

Did you need to change cables?

Thanks for the review..answered all my questions...don't want to grow out of a 60 in a season...do have some hours on a 1200 harley...def looking into this beautiful machine this season!

[@rwr313]

Disagree with the advice for new riders to buy the 60 instead of this Scout. Bike size pretty much the same, and more people want more power after they have some miles behind them. Also, much easier to sell the big Scout down the line because more people want the additional HP.

[@badgermeles-meles2551]

What's the mpg difference between the 60 and 69?

[@d0akickflip]

Agreed you wont be doing any favors sizing down for less horsepower ! Have been loving mine ! They added some accessories to the newer ones like 16' ape hangers and a rear seat .

[@arturofortoul9739]

I think he's talking about someone whose never been on a bike...he did agree with ur comment abs say if ur careful and take ur time growing into it..you'll be fine

Bought the Bobber, this exact color. I love it. One complaint: for 2021 they removed a temperature guage 🤨

That's pretty lame. Gonna have to make sure your leg thermostats are calibrated. Sweet bike, though.

I started on a 69 scout... just take the throttle easy and you'll be fine. It's a very progressive and controllable throttle. My buddy started on a scout 69 too, he still has his. I'm thinking about picking up one again, my current bike is kind of boring to ride compared to the scout :/ (chief DH)

I love the scout bobber but Indian needs to make some more changes. There’s no incentive to buy new. At least put on an updated stock headlight, seats and suspension

[@burrr1047]

Couldn’t agree more, headlight and seat were my first essential upgrades, looking forward to some progressive shocks this coming season but all said and done it’ll be almost $2000 invested in just those upgrades alone and that’s doing the installs myself. If they sold them like that they’d probably start at $15k instead of $11k.
