The only thing you got wrong was the air intake. It's not the side cover that looks like an intake, that's a fake intake. It's still above the radiator, it's visible at mark 5:20
You have very good narration skills Brandon, and I can see why Indian invites you to test rides their bikes. You have now become one of my favorite influencers to watch on TH-cam.
Chiming in. When I started watching TH-cam, Brandon was the 1st, yes, the very 1st motorcycle content creator that I got hooked on watching. Nice to see your progression over the years man. This is your calling…for sure. Keep up the great work.
I was just at the showroom by me 2 days ago, and they had the red 101 and white metallic 101.... both were beautiful... I'll be spending my money soon enough as well, haha!@@ANONYMOUSBIKERUSA
Indian did a great job on the Scout. I'm an HD guy (who also likes Indian), and I would buy the new Scout over the new Nightster. And probably over the the Sportster S too. I'm partial to HD on the bigger bikes, but Indian is winning the midsize segment in my opinion.
i rode the 101 yesterday in chattanooga, and holy shit. its so much better than the current scout lineup. theyve really made the right move with the new scouts!
@@speaktruth247 he's a newer rider, but he said he thinks he could add floorboards and be good. It honestly had me feeling a little stretched out but it was mean and I think I'd ride it anyways. Plus they've got different size risers now for the handlebars to help.
I rode with a few 6'+ folks and they also mentioned how riding the Sport/101 was tolerable. Floorboards and 10" risers made the difference. Lot of combinations to make it more comfortable. 6" risers is my sweet spot.
I think they did it for price because the bobbers cost less so they give it the bob and that buys budget because their accessories arent cheap. I dont like the bobbed fender I like the classic fender too. I like caste wheels
I've watched your videos before, and you're awesome - but the more you spoke about "what's new and improved", the more I'm loving my 2020 Scout Bobber! Maybe my 65 year old mindset, but after 60 years of riding, my Indian is my first: fuel injected, V- twin, and Cruiser ! I'll just be keeping the one I've got.. Thank you Sir.
Brandon, you've always done good Indian Motorcycle videos. I've been waiting on Indian to upgrade the scout. I am very thankful to you for your informative videos on the upgraded Scouts.
Just ordered the 101 in white. Real excited to get it in. supposed to be shipped by the end of the month! Thanks for the videos. helped me decide which I wanted.
100 percent agree. I've been wanting one of the Indians line up. And now it's all I can do to hold back. The maintenance was the problem point for the most part. Harly has shot themselves in the head as far as I'm concerned. The information released about maintenances and there liberal people who ruined everything it has been a challenge between Triump or Indian for myself. Especially when Thornton has done the superb upgrades with the Triump bobber. Money wise and revenues of Indian are tipping the scale ⚖️
So I saw a video showing that you can use a hole saw and cut a hole into the baffle to get a really good rumble. Go in thru the hole at the end of the exhaust. Use a retracting magnet to grab and pull the cut out piece from inside the muffler and you have an awesome exhaust without switching or needing a bunch of specialized equipment
Great review and showing all the features. I’m really confused now as I nearly got sold on a Scout Bobber 1133 last month, then saw the newer 1250 coming out but the Limited + Tech plus the add ons I want now make the Chief Bobber in the same price range. Decisions, decisions, I’m one day HD, then Triumph, then Indian and now back to Indian…… look forward to the event at my local dealer test riding a few next month. 👍🍻
I like how your time wrenching AND riding has helped your reviews mature. And having attended a few releases now has helped you not be so starstruck. There's a lot of good experienced point of view here, which very much ups the quality. You pretty much covered all the stuff we grizzled riders wish would be covered.
I have a 2016 Yamaha FZ-07. I have now hit two deer with it. They never sold an FZ-07 in Europe it was always an MT-07 with ABS in Europe. In the USA ABS was a $400 option. Now that they sell the MT-07 in the USA it only comes with ABS. Parts like the Radiator have different letter prefixes, but the rest of the part number are the same. The same Radiator is like $90.00 cheaper for the current model MT-07 but identical otherwise. Same goes for forks and fork tubes ect. They did totally change the headlight on the MT-07. When I bought new forks in 2019 they were $208.00 each, now they are like $370.00 each . The front fender for the FZ-07 is 3 piece hard plastic for $90.00 the MT-07 front fender is one piece and a more flexile plastic for $30.00 It mounts to the same forks in the same way. The 2025 MT-07 has a stiffer lighter frame, Inverted forks. a yet different headlight and much simpler to take on and off body panels. It's good to know that Indian is making Engineering Improvements. Had the same issues with Snowmobiles. The Skidoo hood and body panels were very difficult to take off with many fasteners. In the good ole days snowmobile hoods tilted open after releasing two rubber latchets. People complained and Skidoo made the hood panel assemblies much easier to remove so you can work on our sled on the trail if you had too. The FTR-1200 is 1200 CC's and about 123 Horsepower. I noticed you said the Scout is 1250 CC's now for the Scout. Seems the Scout came in two displacements in the past I know one was 60 Cubes and they charged considerably more for the larger cube option. I like Mid controls too .
Eh.. at least 40. I had some moments of getting 50-60 while cruising in 6th gear. I think 140 is a good range to shoot for. I didn’t get a chance to test that extra 20ish mile range. I’m sure 180 miles is possible IF you ride the speed limit and in rain mode to empty. But riding sport mode with a fist full.. maybe 20mpg. That doesn’t include weight and hill terrain which eats mileage.
Not without significant work. An engineer said with some wiring work, the screen can be added. Cruise control is a tough one. ECM doesn’t know what cruise control is so would require some work there. Also, you’d have to mess with the hand control wiring to get the left side working. Otherwise, you’d have a touch screen only which is probably fine for most.
@@BrandonBicasso I saw Hemisphere performance made an aftermarket fuel gauge. Do you know anything about if it would be worth it? For now Iv been doing trip meters logs but I ran out of fuel once bc my light came on and then 5 miles later I ran out so that light basically is unreliable to me.
Definitely glad they kept the analog versions with the addition of the fuel gauge. That was really all I thought the old scout needed. Happy to not be forced into the techy models with the even bigger price increase.
Great video one question how is the clutch pull on the 101? Is it about the same as a Harley clutch pull on my Harley at the end of the day my hands hurting from pulling the clutch in
Do you think that I am going to cook on this when it hits 100F in Arizona? I do ok on my BMW 1200GS, I am looking to add a second bike to ride. I am looking at the new BMW R12 cruiser in comparison to this...
Now I understand why there's so many available used India scouts out there. I'd trade the older ones in for the new 2025's . Especially after evaluating the $ on servers, and upgraded parts.
Damn good review! Answering the questions we really want to know. That bike looks amazing. Indian going to have a hit on their hands with this. How is the heat on the right thigh? That’s the one thing on the Scout that I really didn’t like.
Where i live them motorcyvle batteries shit the bed about every 2 years even if i always park in tbe garage because its so damn cold at night and hot in the day
Part of me wants to trade in my classic scout... the other part of me realizes that I have proper cruise control installed on it via aftermarket, and I REALLY don't want to swap all that out again.
Why is no one talking about the largness look of the bike. It's more bulbous and less slim and clean looking. Why the hell did they change the way the tank looked?? This isn't a chief, its a bobber. Don't give us a chief tank and rear fender. WHY?
Essentially. The 240 can't work with the subframe or the fender. It's too wide. Same as previous gen Scout. You want the accessories on the rear, can't go bigger than 180.
I was just thinking if the covers can now come off easily how long til custom head covers are available. Could you imagine some glass head covers with black lights inside or some custom metal or even carbon fiber. The coolant hoses definitely need to be swapped for a custom set glass tube's would be sick.
That would be SUPER SICK. I’ve wanted carbon fiber covers for my ThunderStroke. Oil temps should be fine for the resin used to hold it all together. Glass radiator tubes would be awesome too.
Should have went with octane wheel specs, way better tire options available. Also the ride modes, cruise control, tcs and fuel gauge should have been on the 18+ models or at least 20+ models. My 20 Triumph had all that w/ dual brembos.
@@BrandonBicasso yeah I like the brakes and suspension on 101 but I want that on classic scout. And the extra hp. You could do it as it seems. Just ends up costing way more. So putting fender on 101 may be much more cost effective. But I’ll have to sit on both and see.
when comparing the new 1250 scout vs 1133 scout - do you think the new one is better suited for taller riders (6.1 and 200 pounds), the 1133 made it feel somehow strange.
How long is it from your finger tip to your elbow brother i wonder how much of a role that plays 😂 what if you got short arms bit this oddly long torso
I'm confused! If the mileage is 42 mpg, how is the range on a 3.4 gallon tank only 87 miles? Wouldn't that be 142.8 miles? Or did you misunderestimate?
It was estimating based on the throttle input at the time. Similar to a current fuel mpg estimation on a car. Meaning, it was ridden aggressively so mpg will be lower.
I have an inkling feeling when I downsize from my HD bagger that this might be on the short list to test ride/bring home. Harley could never fit this many top tier components on at this price.
Could work. Barrier is the CAN BUS and whether the previous Gen Scout's ECM will accept that data. Previous Scout has a pin on the speedo for the fuel light, but Chief reads it through CAN so I assume the new Scouts will too. Someone should try it tho!
@@BrandonBicasso I believe the scout and octane gauge already have a spot on the cluster for the readout as well, just like on the new scout analog gauge. Will be looking into this soon
I wish there's a way that we can put the ride command on a 2023 scout model but they don't want to tell so you can buy a new bike for that specific stuff 😢
Getting a classic, like it much more. Not a fan of bobbed/cut fenders. Love thd classic look and having 101 tune on it. No need to spend 3500€ more for me. Id get a chief for peanuts more
I like the classic limited with tech trim where its red with chrome. I want to look like i came out of peak 1960s like i just got elected president and im on my way in an open top chromed out automobile about to get my brains blown out by some disgruntled communists mobsters and potentially others if that suits your fancy. You know real iconic looking, you say damn it looks like the economy is booming from a post ww2 peace era or something.
@@BrandonBicasso I saw a Sport Scout in person for the first time today and the welds jumped out at me for some reason. I'm not a welder. Now I can't unsee them
The only thing you got wrong was the air intake. It's not the side cover that looks like an intake, that's a fake intake. It's still above the radiator, it's visible at mark 5:20
Ah, you're right. Now I want to pull it off and expose it.
@@BrandonBicasso great videos, keep em coming.

That's awesome. It's a great platform and got me to Indian. A lot more will be pleased.
Indian ties these things together well
Good video. The 40,000 mile valve maintenance interval amazes me. Back in the day you'd need a rebuild around 40,000.
Engineering and testing has come a long way.

great job i think you covered everything I wanted to know
I think they should have used the scout classic fenders for the super scout. Would give better protection in rain for touring
That or turn the scout classic into a Super. Just bolt the windshield and bags on. Same subframe.
I think they did it for price because the bobbers cost less so they give it the bob and that buys budget because their accessories arent cheap. I dont like the bobbed fender I like the classic fender too. I like caste wheels

They’re just keep getting better and better👍

Yeah, a good amount of work. Still looks meh but at least there's an option.
@@BrandonBicasso it works for me. I’m weird I like OEM parts on my stuff usually so it works. Now I just need the bike lol
Oh that’s perfect then. I was totally fine with the exhaust note tbh. I would’ve been fine riding it as is too. 😅
@@BrandonBicasso I wouldn’t have minded if I hadn’t owned a Harley first. Now tho I feel like I need that 😅

Greetings from 'OZ'. (Australia)
Excellent video that is so informative! Thanks for doing this.
Regards, Lindsay
Glad you got value from it. 🤙🏾
Very informative, best on YT for Indian.
Appreciate that.
Well I’d say it’s a perfectly average sized oil plug. Gets the job done just fine….some might even say it’s the biggest they’ve seen.
I struggled unreasonably to rethread that thing.
@@BrandonBicassois the headlight lense made of plastic
As someone who just bought a 2017 scout like a month ago. I'm going to go ride a 101 and it might be what i end up getting (depending on insurance )

How's the clutch pull feeling? It has a slipper clutch now I believe I read. So I wondered how that affected the pull.
Very light pull. Almost too light tbh. Aimed at beginners tho.
@@BrandonBicasso Oh wow ok. I recently rode a 24' and thought the clutch felt pretty good. The difference will be interesting to see.
Very informative thank for posting, when do you get to review them on the road?
Already have. Can't release road stuff until the 17th.

Well done Brandon
Great! - Thanks for the video!
Do the side bags come off quickly? Please let me know
Yes. Quick release. Same as windshield.
Thanks for this series on the new Scout. Can't wait to get a close look when they land in England.
Definitely get a good look when you can!
Im due to get first one in UK, june/july :)
@@alanhay-i5d ooo that’s gonna be exciting.
Really good video of the 101, I’m actually considering buying one myself. I was looking at this in white or a Harley Davidson breakout.

That doesn’t include weight and hill terrain which eats mileage.
I dig the white background on black text speedometer
Great video.
Do you know does new Scout 101 have cornering ABS?
It does not. Standard ABS across the range. Only traction control on Limited and Limited+Tech trim.
@@BrandonBicasso Thanks for the answer, and strange that they skipped on this, but event without cornering ABS it still looks attractive.
The Scout Sixty for 2025 just released! Need to go and check that out!
@@Walrus647 I’ve heard. Exciting news 🤙🏾
Curious if we would be able to integrate the ride command and cruise control on to the older model scouts.
Not without significant work. An engineer said with some wiring work, the screen can be added. Cruise control is a tough one. ECM doesn’t know what cruise control is so would require some work there. Also, you’d have to mess with the hand control wiring to get the left side working. Otherwise, you’d have a touch screen only which is probably fine for most.
Would that include fuel gauge??
@@yumib7962 negative. Different fuel float tech on the pump.
@@BrandonBicasso I saw Hemisphere performance made an aftermarket fuel gauge.
Do you know anything about if it would be worth it?
For now Iv been doing trip meters logs but I ran out of fuel once bc my light came on and then 5 miles later I ran out so that light basically is unreliable to me.
Brandon on it! As usual. Still gonna get that Challenger tho! 😆🤘
Different type of ride but a good choice.
I could consider selling my Octane and getting a 101 but, that Octane is a very sweet looking bike!
Dang sexy bike. Great video (as usual) 👍
Definitely glad they kept the analog versions with the addition of the fuel gauge. That was really all I thought the old scout needed. Happy to not be forced into the techy models with the even bigger price increase.
Yep, it's all an option.
Great video one question how is the clutch pull on the 101? Is it about the same as a Harley clutch pull on my Harley at the end of the day my hands hurting from pulling the clutch in
Lighter than most clutches. Has clutch assist with a slipper.
Do you think that I am going to cook on this when it hits 100F in Arizona? I do ok on my BMW 1200GS, I am looking to add a second bike to ride. I am looking at the new BMW R12 cruiser in comparison to this...
You'll cook on most tbh. I was fine on this, personally. Heat was an afterthought compared to previous gen Scout.
Can the heat shields off so you can wrap them?
Likely, yes. Indian hasn’t released a bike that doesn’t allow that
Now I understand why there's so many available used India scouts out there.
I'd trade the older ones in for the new 2025's .
Especially after evaluating the $ on servers, and upgraded parts.
Very good and informative video. We need more videos like this. I heard that Indian added an assist and slipper clucth. Is trhis true?
Yep, there's a slipper there.
Am buying the 101 next year
Does the new engine retain the dual sump plugs? Is it possible to "easily" check the coolant level? Still using the 15w 60 oil grade? Blah blah..
Woah duel sump plugs? At least take me out for dinner first you filthy animal
Tis a sweet machine.
Brandon, would you know if the new mid controls are farther back than the current Scout?
I’m not sure. Did not have any mid controls available to try. Missed opportunity.
What about the stator plug leak?
I’d like to think that’s been solved since it’s a new engine 😂
Damn good review! Answering the questions we really want to know. That bike looks amazing. Indian going to have a hit on their hands with this.
How is the heat on the right thigh? That’s the one thing on the Scout that I really didn’t like.
Are the batteries still the same or did they go with something better?
With the new electronics added, battery is bigger. I don't recall how much bigger tho. AGM and not lithium also.
Thanks bro, always enjoy your videos.
Where i live them motorcyvle batteries shit the bed about every 2 years even if i always park in tbe garage because its so damn cold at night and hot in the day
What brand is the suspension system for the 101? Nice video 👍
No idea. It was asked, but Indian doesn't release that info anymore.
Everything but the exhaust is beautiful. I can deal with that any day. Awsome bike.
Part of me wants to trade in my classic scout... the other part of me realizes that I have proper cruise control installed on it via aftermarket, and I REALLY don't want to swap all that out again.
Well the new ones come with it from the factory in 2 out of the 3 trims on all models so, you shouldn't need to.
Why is no one talking about the largness look of the bike. It's more bulbous and less slim and clean looking. Why the hell did they change the way the tank looked?? This isn't a chief, its a bobber. Don't give us a chief tank and rear fender. WHY?
I think no one was concerned except you bro
nah man i feel you. i like the old look of the scout bobber way more.
Indiana makes a chief bobber
Quick question, so you can put 240 but no accessories even though max would be 180 to use accessories.
Essentially. The 240 can't work with the subframe or the fender. It's too wide. Same as previous gen Scout. You want the accessories on the rear, can't go bigger than 180.
You are starting to look at bikes through a mechanics eyes
I have so many questions haha. Cool that the engineers were open to talk about a lot of it.
Glass lense headlight bro my 2008 kawasaki had it
I'm impressed with the new 101
They look good. Owner 2023 HD Nightster special. Semper Fidelis
I have a Harley Davidson, Lowrider, ST and love it. But man this is a nice bike.
That’s awesome. I had a LowRider S as well. Great platform.

Great video, Brandon. I wanna see the Fuel economy changes for myself. If it is getting 60mpg or better, that is huge.
I had some 50-60mpg moments while cruising for sure. I think the range will surprise some people. Will need more time with it to see for myself.
@@BrandonBicasso with gas prices being as bad as they are, this would be a great thing. Especially running high octane
Should have went with octane wheel specs, way better tire options available. Also the ride modes, cruise control, tcs and fuel gauge should have been on the 18+ models or at least 20+ models. My 20 Triumph had all that w/ dual brembos.
Good ole business games.
If I don't get the Buell, 101 will be my next bike!
I probably won't get a chance to touch a Super Cruiser in this detail but if I do, it will get the same treatment as Scout.
Does it have twin throttle bodies?
Single like previous Scout and the rest of the Indian lineup
I've heard maybe 63mm
I wanna know how hard be to bolt long fender on scout 101. That’s only thing I’m not likening on 101
From a ‘25 classic? Probably only a few minutes. They all use the same sub frame. May even be able to make a pre ‘25 work.
@@BrandonBicasso yeah I like the brakes and suspension on 101 but I want that on classic scout. And the extra hp. You could do it as it seems. Just ends up costing way more. So putting fender on 101 may be much more cost effective. But I’ll have to sit on both and see.
Yeah, that makes sense. The front fender would be the challenge. Mounts differently on the forks.
Went away from cast aluminum frame did they?
Sure did.
when comparing the new 1250 scout vs 1133 scout - do you think the new one is better suited for taller riders (6.1 and 200 pounds), the 1133 made it feel somehow strange.
Yes, other 6’+ riders I rode with were comfortable on the bike. They enjoyed the 10” riser set up most.
How long is it from your finger tip to your elbow brother i wonder how much of a role that plays 😂 what if you got short arms bit this oddly long torso
Are the seats more comfortable than they are in the old scouts ?
Yes

I'm confused!
If the mileage is 42 mpg, how is the range on a 3.4 gallon tank only 87 miles?
Wouldn't that be 142.8 miles?
Or did you misunderestimate?
It was estimating based on the throttle input at the time. Similar to a current fuel mpg estimation on a car. Meaning, it was ridden aggressively so mpg will be lower.
Brandon how did you like riding to Santa Cuz ? I saw 👀 you guys ride by. 🤘⚡️🤘✨✨
Lot of fun. Beautiful area.
@@BrandonBicasso good riding out here. 🤘⚡️🤘✨✨
The 101 looks like fun.
They all are tbh. 101 just a weebit more.
I have an inkling feeling when I downsize from my HD bagger that this might be on the short list to test ride/bring home. Harley could never fit this many top tier components on at this price.
I definitely say give it a go. Even if not for you, ride it just cause.
is this also TPMS capable
Yes, option is in RideCommand. No TPMS sensors on the wheels from factory.
I wonder if the new FTR’s will get a bump to 1250?
That I don’t know but good question.
The ftrs are crazy
Enjoyed the Scout series.
Now let’s get these subscriber numbers up.
Like, comment, and subscribe.
Has anybody mentioned pv3 tune ability yet?
I haven't kept up with it or know if the ECMS have been unlocked either. Hopefully someone else will chime in.
Lots of custom stuff can be done on that bike for sure.
Gonna have to find out if the fuel pump and gauge is interchangeable with the old scout and octane to see if we can finally get a fuel gauge
Could work. Barrier is the CAN BUS and whether the previous Gen Scout's ECM will accept that data. Previous Scout has a pin on the speedo for the fuel light, but Chief reads it through CAN so I assume the new Scouts will too. Someone should try it tho!
@@BrandonBicasso I believe the scout and octane gauge already have a spot on the cluster for the readout as well, just like on the new scout analog gauge. Will be looking into this soon
I like all this info
Stage 3, 240 back end 180 front end true spoke full custom Ohlins suspension Tank Machine upgrades to name a few…
I wish there's a way that we can put the ride command on a 2023 scout model but they don't want to tell so you can buy a new bike for that specific stuff 😢
Very interesting 😀
I really like the jump post...all bikes should have that. But I dislike the key-fob concept on all bikes. That's just a needless idea.
I just ordered the 101 lol.
Good Job
Getting a classic, like it much more. Not a fan of bobbed/cut fenders. Love thd classic look and having 101 tune on it. No need to spend 3500€ more for me. Id get a chief for peanuts more
I don’t like the color red but that little bit of red on that white with the black was sexy
I like the classic limited with tech trim where its red with chrome. I want to look like i came out of peak 1960s like i just got elected president and im on my way in an open top chromed out automobile about to get my brains blown out by some disgruntled communists mobsters and potentially others if that suits your fancy. You know real iconic looking, you say damn it looks like the economy is booming from a post ww2 peace era or something.
Dudes, that engine is good-looking!!
I think so too. So many powder coating ideas 😂
The last one looked really good too I wish they sold that thing in a crate.
So I don't know if I'm nitpicking but the welds on the frame near the air intake are hideous
That’s a first.
@@BrandonBicasso I saw a Sport Scout in person for the first time today and the welds jumped out at me for some reason. I'm not a welder. Now I can't unsee them
Hey, fair assessment. I didn’t pay much attention to them. I’m used to Harbor Freight welds so everything looks better. 😂
Here goes Brandon impatiently waiting for one of these to hit the copart auction lot 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Somebody gone cook a corner too hot and low side one or wheelie it into a tree. 😂
@@BrandonBicasso as long as the rider is ok. Bikes are rebuild able with enough 💰
always!
U were one of those kids that used to take your watches apart, weren't you? I know I was.. 😊
@@happyness5293 I took so many things apart that never got put back together. 🌚🤙🏾
Hate the fenders. Love the bike.
Fair! Swap em out for the classic. Do have to paint tho..
non-locking saddle bags are a big deal breaker...
I like my 2019 bobber more than the new ones
Wish Indian made the 101 on a dark color😢 I got the regular scout on bronze awesome bike though
They probably will next year. Black with white/red logo.
