I just started riding in '19 and the Scout is my first bike. Absolutely love this bike as a beginner bike. It's also worth noting that it has a gentle torque curve so you won't get yourself into trouble... unless you want to.

[@briarfox637]

That's my biggest concern with getting a Scout Sixty. All the power. I've only been riding a few months.

[@chrisweiss1030]

@@briarfox637 Think of it this way. Any bike with enough power to handle highway speeds will have a lot of power in low gears at low speeds. The Scout is no different. However, it is geared with a very high torque curve. That means that down around 2,000 RPM, it is surprisingly gentle and accessible. Even a Honda Rebel 300 has lots of power in 1st gear. It just can't do as much on the highway.

[@briarfox637]

Just two things, one there are two shocks on the rear of the Scout similar to the Sportster not one and, two the reason for less vibration is not necessarily the "higher tune" but the Scout engine has a balance shaft that helps minimize vibration. Other than that it was a very good video.

[@Wintersdark]

Having owned a Sportster, and ridden a Scout 60: there's no contest. The Scout 60 is *vastly* superior. It's a very nice looking ride too, and I've found they get *more* "cool bike" looks than sportsters do. This is because they get "Ooooh, an Indian!", whereas Sportsters tend to be looked down on by most Harley Bros "It's not a real bike." The only thing the Sportster has is it's "really old shitty tech" shakiness and HD badge, if that's your thing. But by every measure, the Scout is simply a measurably better bike.

[@rohinhans7819]

And the reg scout and bobber are even better. I find the bobber seems to get at least one or two people come up to me to ask questions about it

[@rohinhans7819]

I could not be more in love with this bike. I get people coming up to me all the time telling me how beautiful it is. With the exhaust and tune not only is it loud but boy does it pull!

[@roymoderatto]

Jokes and offended people aside, Indian does not have a “Club Style” geometry bike. Other popular variations on the cruiser theme are represented. But no Lowrider/Dyna/FXR type bike at all. So, they are focused on the baggers and the sportsters (the forward controls variety). In my opinion, they go for the casual/new Harley potential customer. The tracker concept is their best contribution to the market.

[@BRAINFxck10]

The best Harley is a Yamaha Raider lol

[@spiffanator]

I like the Bolt R spec to. It dose Harley better than Harley.

[@monkmoto1887]

The scout is a good bike. Super smooth and a lot of down low power. It reminds me of a well tuned, cammed sportster 1200 minus the vibration and with lighter steering. The vibration on a 2004 and later 1200 (they finally, in 2004 rubber mounted the engine) isn't so bad going down the road and you kind of miss it at a light. The harely isnt the worst thing in the world for reliability, its old school and you can do literally anything with basic tools on one. Im not really convinced Polaris is able to make a more reliable bike for that matter. Its kind of like down you want an American bike or a Canadian bike using a dead American bike companies name.

[@omarsalgado9715]

Sportster 1200 0.26 hp/kg at peak rpm Scout 0.32 hp/kg at peak level Scout makes 23% more power to the wheels at peak rpm, which is to be considered in two ways: - Who anyways rides a bike at the edge of the red line always on public roads? - At a streetable speed (60-80 km/h) or rpm of 3000, the Sportster makes 0.1277 hp/kg, whilst the Scout makes 0.1204 hp/kg. In other words, for street use, a Sportster is more convenient due to the fact the Scout will always need more revs to operate optimally. There's no need to previously have figured out that out since the Scout engine has a wider bore and shorter stroke than the Evo.

[@icebrakernh]

@@omarsalgado9715 truth is you can keep the scout in lower rpm ranges and still cruise it doesn't need to be kept high in the rpm range. One thing Indians can brag about is their engines you can lug as the pull with conviction.
