Definitely has a lot of the 2017 Victory Octane looks wise albeit that had more power and longer suspension travel, loved that bike.

[@thevtadventure1062]

I was thinking the same thing. Those were nice bikes. Around where I am OH/MI area you never see them.

[@ramirof1986]

Got one recently and I love it 😍 Only had 1700 miles on it so I lucked out. I do love the scout however. It’s a different more “chill” ride than the Octane That thing is a beast, lots of power from 3-4K rpm until redline.

@@Anton_G_604 definitely, they could have the Victory as a performance line and the Indian as a heritage line.

[@mosgor]

What a wonderful Indian Scout "Rogue" is! - and you never really feel that An Indian Scout has too little power. - Yes, It would have been cool with Indian Chiefs instrument cluster - and of course the Octane Engine (1179.00 ccm), as well as the USD forks from Indians FTR 1200. - But I think some of the mentioned changes will be found in the years to come. - I also think the FTR 1200 engine will find its way to the Scout - Meanwhile this is my absolute favorite Indian Scout. Rogue is the coolest, toughest, most stylish and prettiest bike in its class. - That is enough for me! The rest I will build myself. (That's half the joy )

[@eddiewilliams1036]

Hahaha I've been calling it the Rouge since it was announced. I'm happy that I was mistaken!!

Indian makes some cool bikes for sure. It’s just the local dealership in Tulsa Oklahoma is just awful!! I actually went there first before I bought my Harley and I couldn’t get anyone to take my money for a new motorcycle!?? It was the most bizarre experience I’ve ever had at a dealership! So I had to pass on Indian as I can’t give something like that my business. The local Harley guys are awesome here!

[@Matt-zt6uc]

Not my style of bike but I like that! the rogue is definitely the best looking of all of them

[@2random628]

Mini apes are badass. Thanks for pricing out the Scout with Rogue features. I'll keep this on my radar.

[@jmrocks5060]

As good as this bike looks, I still love my Octane.

[@TeamTaur]

Same here!

[@davidyersz8668]

Great looking bike pitty about the missing break disc from the front wheel

I’m all about the rawness of a bike! Tech is good for tech sake, but if you ask me, I love just hoping on and going.

Scouts are nice. The green colour looks really good. But I would like to see the Octane...Oh, that was Victory! Thank you mr Bob!

[@Sodiumfreeriding]

my wife rides a scout bobber, with ohlins suspension on the rear, makes this bike soooo much better! I like this bike, wish it came with better suspension and saddle, both should be misdemeanors on a criminal charge! hahah great video man

Minus the engine :P I do (always have) love the bobbed fender of the scout. For that price tho, it’s a bit pricey for me 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@peterprior1]

Always fancied one of the Scouts and this looks stunning. However the lack of dealerships keeps putting me off.

Don't know where you're at. They are everywhere in the South.

[@maxcanez1563]

Tucson Arizona has one dealer and 4 four in Phoenix area.

[@anubhavroy2309]

Very cool bike. Just what Indian needed now that the new lowrider s is available. Maybe if they added hard cases as an option it would be an even better competitor.

They're building my stealth grey right now. The wait is killing me

[@michaelsisk5938]

The Indian Scout was my first choice of a new bike; however, at 6’ and 200#, it always felt too small. Also, after watching a KZbin video on routine maintenance I changed my mind. To replace the air filter it involves the tank removal (not hard, just time consuming), but to change the spark plugs, both the tank and the air filter box needs to be removed. Once the air filter box is removed the bikes splits into two pieces and the engine drops to the floor-way beyond the average individual skill level. I purchased a 2019 Indian Chief Darkhorse-easy access for all routine maintenance.

[@4244john]

Seems like you’re basing your statement solely on a video. The scout is my first bike and I’ve already removed the tank and the air box with no problem. Time consuming? Yes. Difficult? No. I consider myself an average skill level and with a little research before hand, the bike will not split into two pieces like you mentioned, as long as you support the engine from underneath with a motorcycle jack. You can always leave one frame rail intact to keep the bike supported and take one off in order to slide out the air box. You’d know this if you have actually worked on a scout. To each his own. I’m just filling in the details you left out, and shouldn’t keep anyone from buying a scout.

[@Hendoneesia]

@@4244john I mean, do people buy a new bike to immediately do their own maintenance while it's still under warranty? Definitely not why I bought a new Scout.

[@tonym2513]

I like it better with the big fairing.

[@Completelycory]

Good lord I love this bike. Looks so mean

Knocking these vids out toute suit! Do you ever sleep? Great stuff Bob.

[@robbikebob]

Think I'd have the bobber and just put higher bars on it. I prefer the blacked out look though.

[@uneasyr1der]

Definitely like this better, vs. the standard chrome and tassels Indian is so fond of. Mini-apes definitely belong on this bike! But looks like they're just looking backwards to the Victory Octane (minus the performance upgrades) with the Rogue?

[@paullazarro4295]

That front disc is comical!

[@amglover4361]

[@jerryblackwell1220]

[@WorldzMo5t3pic]

Oh god, oh no. I've been saving up for a Low Rider S, because I'm in love with the clubstyle look, and would people just stop announcing sick looking bikes already! It's even ~$5,000 cheaper ffs! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CHOOSE JUST _ONE?_

[@599Dan]

Think about the resale value of either of the two bikes and then pick

[@motorcycleartist]

I would go with the Scout.But I'm also a fan of the lowrider s..

[@filoIII]

LR S appears to have better front suspension.

[@sargepent9815]

Got to sit on one, saddly it's too short for me.(im 1.88m) Hopefully they'll incorporate aspects into their other bikes.

[@lukemyers1432]

If they ever make a softail frame that looks like this I would buy one today

[@maxcanez1563]

They can't, Harley has the patent but the rear shocks on the scouts and the Chief's kind of give it that look IMO. I am going to the Indian dealer tomorrow because of it. And FYI I might be trading in my 2018 Harley Softtail Heritage classic... Cheers!

Until they start making bikes for adults I have no interest, these things are so small I look like a sasquatch on a minibike. With the exception of the Pan America, Harley is the same. We need a few models that cater to men that are 6'4 or better.

[@sobedaytona]

A bit of a disappointment on my side. Is Indian using a page of Suzuki's playbook? If that's the only new bike from them, is Polaris giving up the fight?

[@mosgor]

No need to be disappointed with the 2022 models - The New Indian Chief has, after all, filled a gap in the model range - and soon a brand new New Indian Pursuit with the incredible PowerPlus Engine will enter. Indian Motorcycle moves faster than competitors and rarely has "childhood diseases"

[@celestialmorpho]

Nice, beautiful bike but not for tall people ( up to 180cm . 5.11 )

[@rugershooter5268]

Hmmm 1133cc semi crotch rocket motor.....vrod? But $11500 instead of $15000......I see why Harley dropped Vrod But why did they put $15000 on Sportster S? I got tired of long drawn out Sportster S reveal I went and bought a nearly new vrod 1130cc The Bronx really excited me....dropped it before it began.......so because of this video I'm looking at Indian site and there's FTR If Harley is doing a 975 Sportster S they better watch the price, Scout 60 is $10k

[@bobz1736]

Nice one Bob ! Them silencers would have to go - look bl@@dy awful 😖

[@godoftenors]

Pity it still has liquid cooling, digital displays, and makes the tach optional instead of stock.

[@Hendoneesia]

There's a tach in the digital display. You want them to go backward to air-cooled? Weird.

[@godoftenors]

TL;DR- I don't think bikes need all of the technology. I like analog. Analog is easier to work with. I have a digital tach on my Triumph and wish it were analog for simplicity of reading it. My liquid-cooled bike is hotter than my air-cooled bike. Liquid cooling is a more complex system than air-cooled, making maintenance without dealer support harder. I understand liquid cooling for supersports, but not on standards/cruisers/dual sports.
