Loving my 2022 Triumph Bonneville Bobber. Some are pointing out the ride is harsh, but it’s my 3rd bike that doesn’t see many miles. Love riding it around, whether it’s highway or city.

Eleven years and 84,000 miles ago, I went with a used 2009 Nightster. Reliable as an AK-47, and just as refined. I rode it today, still crushing miles. One of the first things you change is the suspension front and rear. For reference, the first thing I changed on my 2018 DRZ was the suspension, front and rear.

[@lucidfox.]

I've been driving my Indian Scout Bobber since January and I don't regret a second. I've already changed it a bit optically: new seat, Wunderkind custom parts from Germany, new exhaust system and a few cosmetics. I love this bike and am almost sure I will keep it after buying my second machine. Yes, sometimes it hurts when your spine comes out of your neck when you hit a pothole. But I love her.

[@Allie_Rose]

I am wondering if the Scout Bobber 60 would be ok for a new rider? I really love the way those Indians look but I don’t have much experience.

[@lucidfox.]

Hey @@Allie_Rose! I definitely recommend that you do a little test drive. As for the experience, I can only tell you how it was for me. Here in Germany we have to pass a theoretical and a practical test for motorcycling - even if we already have a driver's license. This guarantees a safe start even for beginners. The bike itself is a little uncomfortable, but it is beautiful and unique on the market along with the Triumph Bonneville Bobber. The performance of the Sixty is definitely enough to have fun with it. You can also customize them with many after market parts. As for the price, you have to know that it is definitely not cheap. For a beginner, I think a Scout Bobber is a good choice, but of course you have to be aware that this is a fairly heavy bike with compromises in equipment. As a really good alternative, I can definitely recommend the Honda Rebel 1100 or the Vulcan S. Much cheaper, good equipment - just a little less soul. Drive safe!

@@framestomind7548 The svart was really nice, looked amazing, rode well. Great for the money. I only upgraded because i had a good opportunity and the indian was my dream bike. Svart did surprisingly well off road, brakes were amazing. Suspension was really nice. Only drawbacks were its gas tank being really small, and it low weight made it really get blown around badly by any crosswind or turbulence from other vehicles at high way speeds.

I do love my 2018 Indian scout bobber but I did have to change the seat and bars. Took it on a nice ride this year, Pennsylvania to Tennessee, rode the dragon. Then to Murphy north Carolina and from there up to Connecticut to visit some friends and back to Pennsylvania. Definitely not the most comfortable bike for such a trip but it was plenty of fun!

Had a Triumph Bonneville Bobber Black for about 3 months before selling it. Thing was plenty fast and badass looking (definitely needed straight pipes and a windscreen), but I found myself constantly riding the FZ-07 instead due to better handling. Dragging pegs, rough suspension, and tank slappers are not as fun as I thought they'd be.

[@lapinobel]

same, had a bobber. still one of the best looking bikes but sold it after a few months. too rough, especially suspension wise. now have a bmw r1250r for twisty/sporty stuff (considering to swap that for a Triumph Speed Twin) and a Harley FatBoy for when my midlife crisis acts up again.

[@tsubadaikhan6332]

Glad to read your comment. Bonneville Bobber is high on my wish list, but I'm concerned how much riding I'd actually do on it. I think Yammie forgot to mention the most important part of a Bobber - Practically no rear suspension. Beautiful on a Freeway, backbreaking over a pothole.

[@lapinobel]

@@tsubadaikhan6332 yeah well, I live in Belgium, in the so-called Flemish Ardennes. Roads with potholes aplenty. My FatBoy doesn't do so well either there. One reason I got the BMW, very good suspension. The BMW GS (I have a roadster) is the best sold bike for a reason here.

[@Brickydude2]

Funny, I’ve had mine for 6 months or so now and I love it! That’s what makes a horse race. Go to your dealership and ride one 👍🏻

[@elite_eight4486]

An advertisement for the Indian Scout Bobber was the bike that made me decide to learn to ride a motorcycle at all... absolutely love the look of that bike. Still don't own one, and probably never will... but I will always have a soft spot for that bike... maybe if they sell enough of them that they become super cheap as they age, I'll get one.

[@hopfrogg9599]

Plug for the Royal Enfield Classic as a great new Bobber you can get. Removing the pinion gives it a def Bobber look. Despite the low HP numbers, it's been one of the best bikes I've ever owned. Handles way better than it has any right to.

Even mentioned Honda Rebel (and strangely absent Yamaha Bolt) style-wise are basically HD Iron rip-off.
