As for me, I traded in my 2020 Scout Bobber after two years for a 2022 Springfield Dark Horse. I loved the Bobber. It was the first bike I owned/rode in 27 years.I wanted more comfort on the 500 mile + trips I take. And with the springfield, I have storage, I saw a youtube vidio of a young man who just purchased a used bobber.. Turned out to be my trade in. He was very happy with the mods.

It's a wonderful bike for UK landscape. Outside of major cities and their suburbs here in the US, Scout Bobbers are rough to ride. There's a lot of wide open roads with angry crosswinds that just take their toll over time. They're made for ripping and tearing on twisties and city riding. I mean, it's made for any road really, but you get what I mean.

There may be more Scout Bobbers for sale right now because of the new model year with people upgrading to something newer or larger or different in some way. One thing I've noticed is even with the increased market, the prices for used Scouts aren't coming down all that much if at all. I think that's a good sign that Scouts will still hold their value into the future.

Nicely done video. I have 2021 regular Scout. I think in some cases people are not doing any, or very little research before purchase, and then are surprised after ownership. Over 50 years, I have owned several bikes (mainly HD). I no longer tour (over 120 mi.) or do any overnight trips. I enjoy the Scout for being nimble in town, but also goes down the interstate easily. My 2 cents

My cousin bought a brand new 22 model for his first bike at 45 years old. He is 6ft2 and almost 300 pounds. As soon as he got comfortable riding, he bought a slightly used ultra glide. He thought about selling it, but he doesn't have to, and it's more fun to ride on shorter get arounds. The stator was out on my bike, and I was able to ride the scout on our rides. It's the fastest bike and the smallest displacement, everyone is riding baggers. I was pretty worn out after about 4 hours on it compared to my bike, but honestly it made up for that in being a fun bike that feels as light as a 650 or something. It surprised me how it really wanted to dive into curves at 60+ miles an hour. He is keeping it just because he is able to, and another friend was down about a month after me and joe let him use it then as well. So, we are all happy as hell that he chose to keep it. OH, YEAH. He bought some no name 4in. slip-on's that are black with cuts in the end exposing the silver metal color at amazon for like $250? Those things sound so deep and throaty. He took it in for its first service and the dudes at the dealer were pretty impressed with the sound compared to the reindhearts that they were trying to sell him. Just a mean sound. Possibility too loud for some people when you neutral rev it, not any of us, and it's not bad at all at speed. That thing was so quiet stock and that motor is so damn smooth, it almost gave the feeling of it being an electric bike. You move quickly in silence. Lol.

Hello IronnBornRider, I am on my third bike, a 2022 black Scout Bobber. For this bike, after a number of years of not owning one, I did my research and HAPPILY chose this bike. I went in eyes-wide-open and I LOVE IT. MOST days that I ride, i get compliments. I did make modifications as I have done with every bike and car I have owned to make it my own. Starting with the Indian Mid-Wind Deflector and Luggage rack additions. I traded out the wide Indian foot pegs(they drag in turns) for narrow Joker Machine race pegs. Shaved 10lbs off and added 5 horsepower with RCX 3" mufflers. And finally, switched to a much more comfortable Saddleman Solo Seat. I feel like anyone who got rid of their bobber because they did not like it simply did not do their homework going in. There is PLENTY of info online to choose the right bike and the next step is to go out, see it and sit on it . Absolutely love going out on my bike!!!!

A lot of people sell their first bike rather quickly. You just don't really know when you get your first bike if that's what you really want. I thought I wanted a cruiser-ish motorcycle so I got a Vulcan S as my first bike. Well, as it turns out I like to do wheelies, I like to ride on some dirt roads, I like to lean in when I do my turns. What I was really looking for, and I didn't know it, was a naked bike. So I got rid of the Vulcan and picked up a MT-07 instead and I'm loving it.

Last year my cousin bought a brand new one for his first bike ever t 44 years old. That is a blast to ride, and it feels like a 450cc bike between the legs, it's very light and fun in the twisties, but she will get up am boogie when you twist that throttle. He just sold it with 2,200 miles on it and bought a 2024 Indian Challenger in that matte red color. He is 6ft 2in, and probably 260lbs, so he always looked like a man riding a youth bicycle from behind. That challenger is quick as hell for a big bike.

Something nobody mentions, but all the Indian V-Twin liquid cooled motors sound like a full Italian race bike, or a Suzuk TL1000 (a nasty sounding bike that was scary to be around when they were in their prime). Harley messed up a key piece of their signature, their newest liquid cooled motors don't sound as good. The best sounding motors are are the single crank pin V-Twin engines, but Indian managed to make their modern liquid cooled engines have their very own snarl, which is a beautiful sound.

I'm months away from being 60 yrs of age and have ridden most of my life. Owned many bikes. I will say I think the number one issue is the last 4 years of our economy tanking and the cost of living. I don't think it's the scout bobber specifically as I've seen plenty of bikes for sale. I will say I've had a blast customizing it and love the bobber because I'm vertically challenged. I can't see myself getting rid of it. I could see my self upgrading and adding to the collection with another Indian. Currently upgraded the rear shocks and exhaust. Good video, BTW.

Traded mine in for utility, comfort, and technology of the Chief Darkhorse because it does everything it eas designed to do very well. If I want to go fast, I grab my ZH2 or Aprilia Tuono V4. If I only had ONE bike, the Scout Bobber is a great pick if you do a few upgrades for comfort. It's a good all 'rounder. Basically the Glock of the cruiser world. It doesn't do excellent at everything, but it does do everything, and do it well for what it is.

I am selling my 2020 Scout Bobber because I want to move up to the Indian Chief. I returned to riding with the Bobber but after 3 years I'm ready for a bigger bike. Also, the new Indian features like 'Ride Command" and the 116 engine just couldn't keep me away. I would recommend the Bobber to anyone looking for great styling and ease of maneuvering. Yes, the ride could be more forgiving but I only weigh 150lbs. so that was not an issue for me. Indian is making a quality product whatever model you choose.

I love the Scout Bobber. I have a 2021. I have ridden it on 500+ mile trips and enjoyed every mile. I think there may be another reason you didn't mention. Now that there is a plethora of Scouts out there, what can one do to their Scout that someone else has not. So the Scout ends up being a cookie cutter bike much like the sportsters. I think with the new Scouts having a tube frame there could possibly be more one can do with it. My Bobber has 14" apes Freedom Performance Radical Radius exhaust, trask intake, tank lift, rear fender delete, 1920 seat, 11" Progressive 444 shocks and a tune. It has no problems catching the eye of a biker enthusiast. Including most HD owners.

It’s a fab bike, only downside, I traded my 16 month old with 6k miles on the clock, loved it. The servicing was getting tricky as I’m a few hours to my dealers. I traded it in for a Triumph and took the massive hit on my chin as I wanted it gone, insurance was going off the scale tbh and to use a bike with a local dealership a few miles away. The Freedom exhaust I had on it, all the extras I paid for….gone! Indians aren’t that popular here in the UK tbh, I have never seen an FTR on the road here. Everyone I talked to at the meets had bagged a bargain on a new model from the very few dealerships here.

I think k the scout line as a whole,especially the bobber is one of those bikes you get for a specific set of purposes. I went for the rogue as It suited my riding style better than the bobber. For a 5’6” guy like me who never rides 2 up and goes on 200-400 mile trips once in a while the size/weight and power of the scout is something I can’t really replicate in any other cruiser on the market right now. No bike can really do It all. I usually see taller/larger riders trying to get rid of their scouts for something physically bigger which makes sense. For me it’s the perfect bike for my size with enough power to be satisfying. If I ever get into really long distance riding I might get a Springfield but I can’t imagine getting rid of the scout to make It happen.

I sold my after few month. It was uncomfortable, maybe for shorter riders better. I am 1.80m tall. Other issue - it was very harsh riding. I could feel every bump. The suspension is complete sh*it. The tank to small, after every 120km I had to look for a tank to refill. It is probably designed to cruise around city center and drink late and look at the bike, but not ride it. Ou, the motor was pulling great! Just the sitting position was bad, so when ever I opened the throttle, I could barley stay on bike. Due to forward pegs, bad seating position.

I have a totally different experience with my Scout Bobber. I find it to be quite comfortable tbh, compared to my previous bike that I rode for over 20 years (Suzuki Marauder vz800), I'm 1,74m so that might be a big difference in riding position. But stopping every 120km???😮 That's not normal, my fuel light only comes on past 200kms of riding... 🤷🏻‍♂️

I look at all those bobbers and I wonder why they are so heavy, chunky and yet have so little power... it's the opposite of what bobber suppose to be aka lightweight, fast motorcycle with as little BS as possible... The most bobber is triumph and still weights 251 kg (553 lb) and has 1200cc engine that only produce 76 HP... meanwhile my XSR weights 190kg (418 lb), is only 700cc and produces 74 HP... Triumph costs 2x as much? I don't understand why is that. they are beautiful bikes

Scouts are more of an Adventure bike, for one people buy the scout thinking it's a cruiser and it's NOT a F'ing Cruiser. It's a sport touring bike, huge difference. If you want a cruiser buy a chief or simply do your research and don't be an idiot. If you buy the Scout knowing it's an adventure bike you'll love it, More HP than most of the bigger bore Harley's, handles great, it's nimble in tight turns, and there is a ton of Mods and upgrades. On another note, there are more used Sportsters for sale than Scouts.

What is a good bodyweight for a bike like this ?
@DonMachado
@DonMachado 8 ай бұрын
I don't think bodyweight matters all that much. I weigh around 180 lbs. and feel perfectly comfortable. I have a female rider friend who also rides a Scout Bobber and she's maybe 120 lbs. tops. I've seen people over 6' tall and in the mid 200's riding scouts. Indian makes seats for the Scout that can accommodate taller riders as well as shorter ones. If someone feels the bike is too small for them, they have a bobber in the Chief line as well. A bit larger with a bigger engine.
