I share the same passion you have with your scout. I just bought a mint 2019 bronze Scout Bobber with only 800 miles on it and I absolutely have a love affair with it! Same Vance n Hines slash cut pipes. Like you, I will never get rid of it! Enjoy, brother, and safe riding!
I rode the Scout at an Indian demo day and really liked the bike...as long as it had the mini-ape bars. Very fast, very nimble, and just fun to ride. Don't worry about not dragging pegs or running on the very outside of the tire. No need to be that aggressive.
Nice Fact about the Indian Engine is they are Swiss Made by the Company SWISSAUTO in Burgdorf BE/ Switzerland :) Can't wait to get mine in 3 Weeks.Greetings from Switzerland
Your bike is gorgeous, I bet you get a lot of compliments. I have a Ruby Metallic '21 Scout 60 and am loving it as well, an absolute joy to own and ride.
I almost went with bassani went I was deciding on an exhaust, glad to hear you like them. That Ruby metallic is sooooo clean! If I had to choose a new bobber that would be the color I'd go with! The bobber definitely turns a bunch of heads while riding around 😂
Hey man, great video. I have been thinking about getting an Indian Scout Bobber, they are beautiful bikes. I also love rev bombing that tunnel, its good fun.
Came here for some Confirmation Bias for my Scout Rogue purchase... stayed for the BRAAAAAP!! I find it revs so high and goes so fast (95mph in 2nd gear!) that I'm only using 4th-5th gear to tune the Vibration out of the mirrors. It runs comfortably at 4000-5000rpm and with redline at ~8300, it can EASILY Rev Up to the mid 7000's on a pull without working too hard. Now that 6th ⚙️ Gear??? That's purely for summoning the Demons of Speed above 120mph... 6th gear is why the speedo goes to 200mph.
If you modify the exhaust or intake, do yourself a favor and invest in a Dynojet Power Commander or Power Vision. I recommend the former over the latter for ease of use. Then take your bike to a Dyno and get it tuned. Changes the entire experience for the better. The Power Commander is easier to tune the bike with. The Power Vision is more difficult. The Power Commander allows for on the fly tuning in the dyno whereas the Power Vision directly reflashes the ECU. Every run requires applying a new flash using the Power Vision thereby consuming more time and may cost more for the tune. The difference between the two being the Power Commander stays connected at all times, and if removed, removes the tune. The Power Vision flashes the ECU directly so the device can be removed and tossed in a river and the bike stays tuned. The Power Vision can optionally remain connected in order to display various data from the bike like timing, RPM, engine temp, and much more.
Yeah it’s the Vance and Hines exhaust I don’t remember on the tires I can check when I get home though. I do know that I should’ve went way bigger in the back back it looks to skinny.
I've got most of my dream bikes all I'm missing is an Indian was looking at a scout awhile ago but since I got my crotch rocket I'm leaning more for a dark horse just for cruise control either way Indian is always a great choice
I bought them straight from my local Indian dealership. You also have to purchase extended brake and clutch lines but if you go through the dealership they will hook you up with everything you need.
100 percent recommend! It was my first bike, riding and owning and I absolutely love it and even after 4 years I still feel like it has so much power to offer but not enough to scare new riders.
Lovely bike, brother. I'm a recent member of the 'Tribe', and was wondering if after all this time riding your Bobber, have you ever considered adding a fairing/shield? Admittedly, I'm a 'noob', but I get tired rather quickly when riding at high speeds on the freeway. I absolutely love the minimalist look of my baby, *as is*, but have wondered whether adding a quarter fairing would ruin the look. Advice?
It’s definitely gonna alter the look but I don’t think they look horrible with a fairing. Personally it’s not my style and I don’t ride on freeways. The few times I have though I definitely agree about getting fatigued faster and the next day your neck is stiff. I say so what suits your riding style the best and if you ride on the freeways definitely just go for it, make your bike stand out from the rest!
The cafe fairing from Memphis Shades looks pretty cool and maintains the aesthetic. Dunno how effective it is, but better than nothing. To be fair, could actually make your wind worse to the torso. Dunno.
Totally agree. I got to ride a Chief, Scout Bobber, FTR, & Rogue at a demo day after my Rogue was on order, and I can recall the wind trying to rip me off the bikes above 110mph and really kind of uncomfortable long term in the 75mph+ range (interstate speeds). So I'm glad I've "gone Rogue" with a quarter fairing, even though I'm not a dyna-look or club-style guy, I prefer no fairing... the bike would be less comfortable without it. I think the Memphis Shades fairings are a great way to go and I wish Indian had made the Rogue's shield a quick disconnect. So maybe a Scout or Scout Bobber with Memphis Shades fairing is the best of both worlds. I got the Rogue because it was launched on my 50th birthday & I love the blacked out look. The rest is just a Scout Bobber in all black with a way better factory issued seat, performance sized 19" front wheel (again I prefer the fat tire look of original bobber) and fairing. So if you're smarter than me and want to save a few grand, find a nice used Scout or Scout Bobber for around $7500 then spend ONLY HALF of the $5000 you saved on a fairing, MC Cruise Control, and custom seat. The previous owner probably already bought pipes for you 🤘 & won't recoup his investment.😤
Feel peg scrape, lift foot. No problems. Happens all the time on my 2020 Bobber. If you're turning right and you have an exhaust that hangs low, then you might worry. I don't, and don't.
My Rogue came with factory installed feeler nuts on the bottom outer edges of the pegs, they come to a point at about a half inch of height and are replaceable, should you tame the Tail of the Dragon by "draggin dad-knee" (leaning on a cruiser) thru the twistys. Did the Scouts and Scout Bobbers have those as well, or are you shaving off peg metal on the scrapes? My buddy has custom ground pegs now, legend has it they're more aerodynamically efficient and shave 0.5oz off the dry weight.🤠
@@IndianScoutRogue my Bobber has the little nubs. I scrape at least once per ride. Kinda wish the lean angle was a bit better because the bike can really do tight turns.
Dude that’s so awesome you’re gonna absolutely love it trust me it’s worth every second of that wait time! My buddy waited 4 months for his and he said he’d do it again that how much he loves it!
Beautiful bike! I’m on the edge of getting an Indian myself I’m 27 never ridden before I get an anxious and nervous feeling and I love it but just can’t seem to pull the trigger. How much are bike payments per month typically for a 14k bike? sorry if that’s personal but anyways loved the review!
Hey man thanks, I say do it! Don't hesitate you'll absolutely love it and it's also great for a beginner rider! This was my first ever bike and I had no experience prior to buying it I just took the motorcycle safety course and went for it. I got this bike for a special price at the fair it was brand new and I got it for 11k. My payment is 257 a month for 5 years of financing. You could look into getting the Indian scout bobber sixty that's gonna put you around that price depending on your credit. To be honest you won't even really notice a difference between the sixty and the regular model. My buddy ordered the sixty and I'll be posting comparison videos when it arrives. So subscribe if you wanna check those out to help with your decision.
Weary of wallowing in my pandemic doldrums last summer, I suddenly decided to order an Indian after watching several silly Progressive Insurance commercials. My first bike at age 48, a 2021 Indian Scout Bobber ABS in Maroon Metallic Smoke. I regret waiting so long to do so, she's an absolute joy to ride! Indians are so rare (in comparison to Harleys), so prepare for appreciative looks, waves and compliments. Thank God my reflective visor conceals my constant, goofy grin. It's just impossible to pout when you ride one, I dare you to try!

Great job awesome video thank you so much for sharing I have a 2018 Indian Scout Bobber I absolutely love it
I have a scout rogue 60, absolutely love the thing. Switched from sport bikes and never looking back.
I rode the Scout at an Indian demo day and really liked the bike...as long as it had the mini-ape bars. Very fast, very nimble, and just fun to ride. Don't worry about not dragging pegs or running on the very outside of the tire. No need to be that aggressive.
Omg, that red is awesome!
Thank you, as soon as I saw the red I knew that’s the color I wanted! Got super lucky with getting it!
@@cmatycycles8286 I saw the blue one and had never even been on an Indian bike before. Bought it, and it's been true love
Omg same!!!! What year is your bike Id love to see it!
@@cmatycycles8286 2020 year
That blue is sharp! Very vibrant!

Appreciate that brother, thanks for watching!
I just ordered the 2024 Scout Icon, Black Metallic with Graphics. I'm really stoked about it and seriously cannot wait for it to arrive. 😃
She is a beauty, but I may be biased I have a 21 scout icon and agree with everything you said good luck bro 👍
Very impressive bike with that paint job and mini-apes. Ideal around town/short trip bike with character.
I love my 22 scout rogue 60, it’s black, piped, soon to be better air flowed, and her name is Kit
Hey man, great video. I have been thinking about getting an Indian Scout Bobber, they are beautiful bikes. I also love rev bombing that tunnel, its good fun.
You should definitely go take one for a test ride, you’ll fall in love immediately. It’s a great bike I absolutely love mine.
I just bought one, collection in less than 2 weeks, can't wait hehe
You’re gonna absolutely love it!!!
i need the high bars on mine noW! great video positive!
You’ll love them!
can't wait to get my scout rogue. stoked to finally get one. your bike is awesome man!
Thanks man! I've heard nothing but good reviews so far on the scout rogue so I have no doubt you'll love it!
Best bike I’ve ever owned.
definitely one of my favorite sounding bikes
My buddies is gonna be so loud with the new exhaust we throw on it when it arrives 😂
@@cmatycycles8286 love it

We’ll have to look into those options for sure.
What were the brand of pipes you said you put on? I couldn’t hear what you said they were BUT I could hear how awesome they sound!
Vance and Hines 3in slash cut
Just bought the exact bike 2022 What kind and size of tires did you change too and is that a Vance and Hines exhaust ???
Yeah it’s the Vance and Hines exhaust I don’t remember on the tires I can check when I get home though. I do know that I should’ve went way bigger in the back back it looks to skinny.
I've got most of my dream bikes all I'm missing is an Indian was looking at a scout awhile ago but since I got my crotch rocket I'm leaning more for a dark horse just for cruise control either way Indian is always a great choice
Nice man, you should look into the Indian chief bobbers they have cruise control if I remember correctly they have it.
Would you recommend the scout bobber as a first time bike
Yeah absolutely, it was my first bike and I’ve had it for 5 years now and still love it.
Really love your bike. I much prefer the low bars for the look but not good for comfort.
You’re one of the first I’ve seen running the high bars and I love it. The low bars just are not comfortable at all.
The 10in mini apes are amazing I love them so much!
Great idea with the bars
I'm thinking of buying Indian as well, and if I do , i think i would get these bars as well.
Where did you buy them from ?
I bought them straight from my local Indian dealership. You also have to purchase extended brake and clutch lines but if you go through the dealership they will hook you up with everything you need.
@@cmatycycles8286 thanks
The low bars look so much better though.

This bike is incredible it's beautiful and also powerful it's a cruiser but it's still agile and flexible!
I can concur on the comfort seat. Nice and wide, good comfort. It's better than the Indian 2up seat.
Definitely!
That red and black really looks sharp 👌
Do you think I could be comfortable on it at 6'2" ?
I’d definitely take it out for a test ride first just to double check. I’m only 5 10 and I have no complaints.
definitely a killer bike fam. keeper for sure.
no way I could let this bike go.
@@cmatycycles8286 lol
great share fam!!!!
appreciate it man
Beautiful bike I love the red I would put a 240 on the back and new exhaust
Feel peg scrape, lift foot. No problems. Happens all the time on my 2020 Bobber.
