The Indians aren’t the most jaw dropping bikes but they do have their own awesome unique characteristics.

Great point! The engine is pretty crazy looking but after that, it’s pretty standard stuff... good stuff for sure though.

Glad you had a good time. They are fun and fast. Also congrats on the 100k subs. Hopefully I can meet you one day when I move to FL this fall

[@RebelRides]

The Scout is a bike for weirdos big and small. It seems to fit most people regardless of size, I love them!

[@GHOS7v]

Definitely the shorter your are the forward controls feel like forward controls. The taller you get the less and less they feel forward. I'm 6' and my scout bobber almost feel like mid controls.

[@HydraSperati]

I agree. I'm 6'3" and I fit just fine on my scout sixty, however im looking into getting taller bars for a more aggressive stance.

[@c3pouch519]

Super grateful for these videos as another 5'2 girl lol

Awesome video thank you Skypower Sports for letting Shade and Jes ride your bikes!

[@tomedwards159]

see if you can get one without the the bags and windshield for Jess II. I'm 5'10 and I fit on bobber just fine. Bobber has less of a rear suspension it's slammed to the ground a little bit more than the scout. They do make mid controls for the scout line, and also for height challenged people they make a seat that will move you closer to the tank and bars that come back closer to you.

[@serious_in_seattle6917]

Indian makes a Chief. It’s a more basic cruiser without bags. Windshields are separate accessories so if she doesn’t want it then don’t buy one.

[@darrellscott7980]

Congrats on 100K brother!🎉 It is very much deserved.

Yep that's exactly what grabbed me with your channel. Looks like ya'll had a great time. Yep nothing like a awesome loud bike to make that blood flow. Will be interesting to see what lil Jess (and yeah I know she doesn't like that but that's what I remember her by) Thinks of the scout. Looking forward to that vid!

[@alexeimarcoux1985]

Very nicely done. Your response to the Chieftain mirrors mine to test riding the Chief Dark Horse recently. I’m a Harley guy (‘18 Softail Street Bob), but my sense is that Polaris’s A-game has the edge on the MoCo’s. Thank you for the video.

[@harryb7912]

100k+! Congratulations Shade. Awesome video

[@DoucetteMichael]

I agree with you the 2019 Chieftain looks better than previous years, I was glad they got away from that large awkward looking front fender :/ Love the obnoxious green, looks like it might have been a 116 in it. Awesome video as always very entertaining.

People get WAY to caught up in the specs and what not vice the character of a bike!!

[@mikeskidmore6754]

Wow Jessica 5'2" I am 5'4" sat on the Scout the foot rests were way too far forward for me .. I am guessing they are adjustable and you can move them back some. I didn't ask because I am only interested in the FTR-1200 It's a question that needs to be answered however..

[@d.fresh.750]

That's awesome man, I just test rode my first Indian last Friday, then you drop this! I actually rode 2. First was the FTR1200, which I liked, but didn't love, like I'd hoped. Super comfortable though, & just good all around. Second was a Scout, and only my 2nd time riding forward controls. It was a lot of fun, but unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to ride one without mid controls or maybe a different seat. I severely bruised my tailbone 2 years ago when I crashed, and the Scout riding position puts all my weight on my tailbone. After a 25min ride, I was ready to be off. 😏 Great video man, & I just noticed 100K?? Congrats, keep it up!

Nothing but Harleys since I bought my first one in '78. But have to admit I was quite impressed with the Indians. Like you I went in not so much wanting to hate them, but not expecting much as I never cared for the Victory bikes and expected the same. Found them very impressive.

Haha. I couldn’t help laughing when you said: «you won’t know if it’s to big until you sit on it» 😂😂😂

[@themadyankee724]

Cool man. I've wanted a Scout ever since I first sat on one at a dealership. It was low and comfy and felt manageable (plus I like the styling personally). Now I know that other low light bikes exist, but before I had even taken the course, I knew the scout was something I could handle. Before that, all I knew of were giant cruisers or superfast sport bikes. (It's what all my neighbors and family had). The scout was the first bike to catch my attention and tell me that riding was actually possible.

[@shadetreesurgeon]

I was really impressed with how low it is... and it doesn’t even look it. Still looks like a normal bike!

[@themadyankee724]

Congraturation on the 100k subs by the way!

No one would buy a car without a test drive. More of us should complain when dealers are pussies about insurance if you crash it during the test ride. Your previous video showed a Harley dealer with a bike on a stand, to prove you know how to shift and use a twist throttle before rolling out of the dealer lot.

Glad she enjoyed it. Mine had slip on pipes and sounded good. You can get them with different reach both foot and handlebars and a different seat for shorter riders. Jessie ahould like it. Weighs less than 600lbs 100hp and good torque numbers with less vibration than a Harley

Last year at Sturgis I spent an entire day test riding Indians through Spearfish Canyon. That Scout pulls like a freight train. Way outperformed my Fat Bob. The Chieftan was awesome too. My buddy wanted to trade his Street Glide for the Chieftan.

[@hooahayes]

My Scout did that when I first bought it. Tighten it down correctly and it's fine. I think they are just gun shy at the dealer to tighten it because they are afraid of marring the chrome.

[@danlevesque5437]

I would have pulled over and made that stop flopping around

All of Indian's bikes except for the new FTR have low seat heights around 26". They also do a great job of keeping the center of gravity low so they feel lighter than they are.

Nothing is perfect but Polaris did a decent job on the new Indians.

Had the chance to ride all the bikes and was always impressed. The 111 is a solid motor, and the handling is unbelievably good for a bike that looks so big..Have you got the chance to ride a FTR 1200 yet? THAT is a hell of a ride.

I'll admit my bias admiration for Indian. 2018 scout 60 is my first bike ever. I unsubbed a while back due to lack of indian content. (I didn't mind the criticism of them when you did, since that helps keep the brand focused on the consumer base and direction. E.G. FTR1200 came from consumer demand). I resubbed to help get over the 100K mark. I'll say this. This is my new fav STS vid. Good on ya. I may have to get you an Indian trucker hat.😁👍
