So... First of all, thank you for the amazing feedback! 🤯 It means more than you know! 🙏🙏 Also, I apologize to the Vulcan S family... It's a Kawasaki 🤦😅😜 Make sure to check me out on Instagram 👉 instagram.com/rickynotsomartin
Man the way you did this video is perfect for someone looking for totally useful info, and no fluff. Anyone making motorcycle review videos can take tips from this!
To improve comfort on this type of machine, replace the seat with a sprung solo seat and add slight riseand pull back to the handlebars. These small changes can make a big difference.
You can pull up on any expensive bike people will automatically think you are a douchebag, its not a harley thing. If you give a $#it what people think, motorcycles are not for you.
Bought mine about a month ago and already have 1500km on it. I absolutely adore it as well! I switched the seat with the Indian scout comfort seat and for me it did a insane difference on 200km+ rides, while not changing the look of the bobber! Saving up for the passenger seat and foot bars but it is a complete blast. So much fun!
I bought a honda hardtail chopper, fixed it up how I like, purple rat bobber, then drove from sacramento-billings Montana on it, then the electrical failed in montana and trailered and fixed at home. Bought with 22k, now has close to 28 after less than a year and it being down for repairs many times while ironing out previous owners quick jobs
I’d also like to just say. You NEED to post more. Your camera angles/ pans are some of the best I’ve seen. Your personality really fits the ‘vlogger’ style. Keep up the good work! Only 3 videos posted and I wish there was more to watch. Been watching motovlogs for years but honestly this is probably my new favourite channel.
WOW! I mean... wow!!! This means a lot! Thank you so much for this amazing feedback. It really lights a fire under me to keep creating! Expect more videos soon!
Got 13,600 on my scout 60 bobber and I ride it hard. Zero complaints, clutch needs some adjustment but boy, it's the perfect cruiser. Extremely reliable so far.
Awesome review! I own a 2021 Indian Scout Bobber Sixty, matte black, ABS, at 3,200 miles so far. Getting the Freedom Performance Combat 2-1 exhaust put on as we speak (super excited after waiting all summer). This is a great review that highlights all the talking points unique to the bobber style. I’m one season in and absolutely love the bike, even considering the sacrifice of comfort like you mention (and if you’re over 30 like me you absolutely do feel it after a couple hours of riding). It’s honestly my dream bike.
Video popped up out of nowhere but I watched it and WOW. The audio and video quality is super good. The content and dissemination of info was laid out thoughtfully without being boring or obnoxious. Would I get this bike? Heck no. I need some comfort.
It does look sick. But the Sportsters doesn't aim to be a bad ass bike. It's simple, clean and classic. The Sportster lines are slick. But I am talking about the 1200 and wouldn't say the 883 is the Sportster to get.
I don't agree, a Forty-eight well customized is way better looking, Indian's don't have that much of customization possibility, after all is about taste
Ah man, thank you so much!! It really means a lot coming from you! It did take some time and I even messed up my back, but it was worth it! Had a lot of fun and Im super proud of it!
Just the kind of analysis I was looking for as I've been eyeing the bobber for some time, but I don't even ride motorbikes....so the fact that your video is for newb, perfect for me. Will continue my search. Thanks dude!
Hands down, the best review of the Scout Bobber. Great job on this video! I’m considering this bike and appreciated hearing the likes and dislikes about it.
Picked up a 2020 bobber back in March, put almost 8k on already and couldn’t agree with your review more! Threw the stage one kit on with some Bassani slip ons, a Saddlemen solo seat, upgraded the front light to an LED, some odds and ends upgrades and am 110% satisfied. They did well with the bobber for sure! Ride on and keep the shiny side up brother!
@@briarfox637 It’s a very easy bike to handle. If you bang it out hard it’s still very manageable. Shift patterns are preferred in higher RPMs so they’re built very well for the HP they put out.
I’ve never had a motorcycle and can’t remember the last time I rode my Huffy. That being said I fell in love with this Scout Bobber and it will be my first motorcycle one day. This review coming from someone with little experience is awesome because it’s the same approach I would have. Subscribed for the top notch video quality, editing, channel name and purple pants.
I've put over 13k on my '19 Scout Sixty, and I love it! I bought mine at Dream Machines too and did exactly the opposite of what you did. I was planning to buy the Bobber but once I sat on it I knew my back couldn't handle the riding position with the number of miles I wanted to put down. I'm grateful that manufacturers offer so many options so that we can all walk in with different needs and leave happy.
My god the production quality on this channel is incredible! The montage in the beginning looks better than some channels with millions of subs. Good stuff man
@@Anonymous-jj9yu Depends on who's asking. Depends what you're looking for. But, if we're talking about factory quality/price, I think it has one of the best ratios. And I really like that bobber. Did like 10 thousand of those, never got tired.
@@96dragonhunter hmm for someone that knows jack shit on bikes but likes it sorta loud but not stupid loud and fast still semi new to riding have around 2k miles of experience in a 250 just here and there. Want something reliable and not stupid fast( still new ) but somewhat has more than enough power. Was looking into getting a zx10r or a xsr900 but this got my attention more than the Honda rebel 1100
Wow, this is the exact video I've been looking for. Just moved to Florida, truck broke down, and need something new and reliable but can't really afford a new truck. This would be perfect for me, affordable, and I love the look! Great video. Thought you had way more subscribers than you have by the quality of the video. Subbed!
Wow! Comments like this make it all worth it! Thank you so much man. I made this video for people like you, looking to buy a bike so that really means a lot! Again, I really appreciate the support and expect more videos coming soon for sure!
Fantastic video! Not only great information but great video skills in front and behind the camera! I'm a LONG term Harley owner and rider but I have an incredible little Indian dealer with-in walking distance of my house and my Harley dealer is an hour away. After years of riding with my wife on the back she wants her own bike and she and I both like the look of the Scouts. The Scouts sound good too with the right exhaust. I'm thinking the Scout Bobber would be a great bike for her and will allow me to slowly cross over and embrace all things Indian. I did the Scout Demo a few years back and its a lot of bike for the money! I like the low stance and the lightness and performance right out of the box and had the thought it would be a perfect 1st bike for anyone. Not sure I'm ready to give up my Harley but room enough in the garage for an Indian too!
I also came to the comment section to mention the volume levels. could hardly hear anything he was saying. only parts here and there. if someone had headphones on maybe they could hear. I am watching on a Smart TV. might sound different to someone listening on their phone. there is some bad ass software plugins for Premiere Pro that will auto level and can tell the difference in speaking, Background music and intros and outros. it is bad ass and a must have. wish I could remember the name but just search for it. you will find it.
Thanks for this, man. I downloaded your video but didn’t watch it yet. Then yesterday after I took the same model ad this for a ride (newer) I watched your video and it’s great. I had a discussion with the salesman about people saying “ they’re too slow” and people saying “the suspension is horrible”, questions like “is it big enough for a man?”, “not enough power” et cetera. Thing is for me, it’s stupid fast, it feels massive, this suspension is great, it holds its own absolutely on the highway, wise, it’s more than big enough for me because I’m pushing 6 foot one. One thing though is that I realised my legs are a bit tall, which is something always wondered about, but could never confirm, because I’ve only ever been on superbikes and commuters, so all I would need to make it more comfortable for me would be tank pads for my knees. Other than that, reading reviews and seeing videos about this bike online has really made me realise that “to each their own” and that you must really take any and all reviews with a pinch of salt and just buy what you want. It doesn’t need to be a pissing contest.
Any Harley owners should THANK an Indian owner for buying an Indian simply due to 2 reasons: Harley dropping prices/or adding more to future models with same price and Harley stays competitive with consistent/amazing products. The same with Indian owners, they should love and support Harley owners because both brands are American Made, both compete in prices and product and WE Benefit together when we don’t bash each other for what we choose to ride on the streets. Something to think about
Much appreciated! It means a lot! I started off with photography and I've slowly fallen in love with making videos. This definitely makes me want to do more!
Awesome post! I have an 81 HD hardtail Iron Head bobber & a 2001 HD 1200C bobber and I have been thinking about selling them so I can tweak an Indian out to lower the space above the rear tire, drop those rear shocks for a nono shock so it's disconnected from that big rear fender, but that thing is super cool as is and I would love a newer bike like that
Incredible review! I'm glad to hear that you still love the bike 2 years on. I've actually got a similar story to you. I felt the exact way about Harleys and their riders that you do but I liked the look of the Iron and thought I might get one. I did my research though and got a Scout Sixty as my second bike, my first being a Honda Shadow that got totalled after only 3 months. One year later on the Sixty and knew I wanted to trade up. I love the blacked out look on the Bobber and got mine last January. 2018 ABS Matte Black. I love it! It's so fucking badass and with my all black gear and leathers I feel like a badass riding it. People regularly stop me at gas stations and whatnot to complement it. It's not a Harley but it's still American! I'm 5'6 and I agree with you completely on the cramping. I usually take it on half hour rides to and from work but on my days off I've gone on 2+ hour rides. The longest I've taken it was around 4 hours and by the time I got home my muscles and joints were so cramped I felt like I needed to just lie down for a while. I've currently got Reinhardt racing slip-ons on it but just last week I actually ordered the freedom 2 into 1 and the exact air box and tuner you have based on your first video. I'm still waiting for that to arrive so I can get it installed but I'm pumped for it! My girlfriend doesn't ride with me but I'm trying to convince her to get her license and a bike of her own. Ride on man!
That's awesome man! Tha la for sharing this with me! 🙏🙏 You understand when I say that my favorite thing is how it makes me feel! 💪💪 I fixed my first bike (250cc duo Sport from China) and my wife is learning how to ride. Hopefully she falls in love with it and gets a bike... Then I can do some further mods to this one 😂 P.S. You're going to need a spacer for the peg. When installing the exhaust, it hits the peg by a bit. It also helps because it makes it so that the peg scrapes before the exhaust.
@@RickyNotSoMartin Haha! So we're both trying to get our girls to ride too. I'll keep that in mind with the exhaust. I think I saw that you commented about the spacer for the peg on the exhaust video. I'm going to get it professionally installed. I installed slip-ons on my last bike myself but I don't trust my skills enough to do a full exhaust replacement. I've come back to your exhaust video time and again. I knew that was the one I wanted. The Reinharts are loud and have a good sound but I want the power and performance increase of a 2 into 1 and the combat looks and sounds fantastic. It's also funny that you mentioned wanting to get a seat replacement for the Bobber. That was the first thing I did to it. I rode it once and knew that stock seat had to go. I put a black mustang seat on there.
Trade up? I'm 5'5 and 145lbs. Looking at the 60. Was it just pure power you want? Cuz I heard, the difference is not really noticeable until you reach the end of the 60. Because of my size/weight, I was thinking, the 60 would be plenty enough.
Hey man it's 1200 lilpig! I am here and subbed this channel to support your art man! Loved your review! I would say it's a normal every day dude's view on his bike without the BS. Looking forward to more moto videos brother man cause this was a killer start!
Outstanding review and professional quality. Awesome humor, amazing angles and honest about your experience. 2020 Iron 883 owner myself. Walked into Indian dealer with hopes of test riding, long story short, the business made zero effort to even try to earn my business or another family in the store at the time. Made my decision much easier, both local HD dealers treat every customer as family by their first name. One day I'll ride an Indian though! Once again, awesome bike and video. Look forward to more of your content!
It really is a beautiful bike. How you feel on that one, is how I feel on my boulevard c50. I love looking at her. It might not be "the best bike" yes it could "use a 6th gear" but damn it, It's still a great machine for me.
D!! I really appreciate your feedback brother! You know I'm a big fan of your channel so it means a lot! I want to go this riding season for sure! Let's stay plan something ASAP 💪🤙
great video. I was thinking the same thing with the HD Iron and Honda Rebel but I didn't know about the bobber and now I want to go check one out at the dealership and see what its like.
Really good review - did a great job on the special shots showing just how good the bike looks, and really enjoyed the honest appraisal of the looks/comfort tradeoff. Subscribed.
Great video. I have been riding motorcycles now for 46 years and in that time I'm happy to say I have had the privilege of riding just about everything out there, even some radical one off customs. I have found that there is a trade off for everything. It would be nice to have a shop full of a verity of bikes to match my riding mood but like most, that's out of my budget. I have got bikes that I'd thought I'd love but didn't and bike's I didn't think I would like (because the wife talked me into) and fell in love with. I think as one who will be spending a lot of time on motorcycles, you will find that your taste will continue to change. The bike that was one day your 3rd choice is now your 1st choice. You may never stop liking that bobber but you may prefer something different later. Thanks again for the great video.
He puts our great content, so make sure to check him out! I obviously don't think he's a douchebag but if I was going to use anyone for that joke, it had to be him! 😂😂
I have the exact same compliments complaints. Everything you say in this video is exactly spot on but I love my scout bobber I won't won't trade it for anything!!!!
Thank you so much for doing this video. I think that I've almost completely made up my mind now. At first, I didn't think that I like the scout bobber at all, and getting a lot of people calling it a chick bike, and everything. But now, I think I actually DO like this bike. I've gone and sat on a Chief, but haven't done a test ride because I haven't gotten my endorsement, but now I think I'm going to go shopping for this scout bobber. Thanks again!
i like the way their going with the scout they know this bike would be a cheaper popular option so that means more customization i just want more people on Indians by the time i go looking to buy a bike
More to come! I'm reaching out to my local dealers to see if we can work on some reviews of other bikes on the line-up! Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it!
Your bike is beautiful bike. I like it a lot. I have a 2019 Softail Slim and a lot of the complaints you have are the same that I have. I’ve had to change a lot of stuff and it’s still only good for short distances. Your bobber is super nice. Ride safe!
Couldn't agree more about the look. The moment I saw that bike I wanted to have it. atm goin for my license and hopefully next year I will be a proud owner of that beautiful bike. thx for the review
@@RickyNotSoMartin I was thinking since you hit 15k in 2 years. Why not go for 50k 5yrs. Lol. Might as well enjoy the long rides. I was thinking about buy gel pads under my old seat. Seeing the leather is still ok but foam from 1998. Lol. I would try some leather softener if it's just the leather. But I would guess it's broken in by now
Great video! Already a rider myself. Guy looks like he was on a dirtbike and who knows what condition for that crazy wobble that you stopped riding one handed.
Amazing video man, this video is about to BLOW up I can tell already. You did a killer job. Cinematics were on point, you were very thorough, & did a good job of describing the bikes pros & cons for the type of bike it is, a bobber.
Ah man, thank you so much brother! 🙏🙏 I had a lot of fun doing this video! This is my quarantine project 😂 I really appreciate your feedback man. I love what you're doing over at your channel.
Coño! Tremenda moto, Y yo tan bien me encanta la Indian…. Pero me monte en la Triumph bobber… WOW! Pero tengo la Scout. Suerte hermano. Boriqua your videos are so well done! As an older man I am so proud of you Boriqua. We need more content! They are great videos…… even with your purple pants LOL!
Accurate review dude! I agree, OEM seat and exhaust are the worst. Other than that, this bike is absolutely amazing out the box. Nice edit too. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Greetings from the West Coast of Scotland..
I have a Truimph Bobber myself but always liked the Indian..
Enjoy ..
Man the way you did this video is perfect for someone looking for totally useful info, and no fluff. Anyone making motorcycle review videos can take tips from this!
Have you changed your seat or do you still have the stock seat?
Why im watching this with 500$ on my bank account.
If 2020 has showed us anything is that things can change in a heartbeat... hopefully one day you'll get to own one! 💪💪
@@RickyNotSoMartin Im hunting for Roadstar 1600, hopefully i'll get one next year. But i must say your Scout looks epic and sound crazy good.
Thank you! 🙏🙏
Cuz your credit is AWESOME and you only live once bud 👍
Same here except $5.🤣
To improve comfort on this type of machine, replace the seat with a sprung solo seat and add slight riseand pull back to the handlebars. These small changes can make a big difference.
Thanks!
Noted...thanks!
The stock handlebars & seat are the first things I would replace. Solid advice.
Nah suspension is the first thing u gotta do. It so bad. Hitting little tiny bumps feel like ur gonna be sent off the bike.
@@ll.7927 after racing sport bikes I can tell you the number ONE thing to improve almost any bike is SUSPENSION first. Spring seat is too high for me.
“Not all dude’s on Harley’s were douchebags... just some of them” lmaooo felt that in my soul haha
@MR.Twentysix scooters and Skidoos don't count as riding lol

Well to be fair, I’m seeing more and more douchebags starting to ride Indian motorcycles, sadly.

Thanks for this, man. I downloaded your video but didn’t watch it yet. Then yesterday after I took the same model ad this for a ride (newer) I watched your video and it’s great. I had a discussion with the salesman about people saying “ they’re too slow” and people saying “the suspension is horrible”, questions like “is it big enough for a man?”, “not enough power” et cetera. Thing is for me, it’s stupid fast, it feels massive, this suspension is great, it holds its own absolutely on the highway, wise, it’s more than big enough for me because I’m pushing 6 foot one. One thing though is that I realised my legs are a bit tall, which is something always wondered about, but could never confirm, because I’ve only ever been on superbikes and commuters, so all I would need to make it more comfortable for me would be tank pads for my knees.
Other than that, reading reviews and seeing videos about this bike online has really made me realise that “to each their own” and that you must really take any and all reviews with a pinch of salt and just buy what you want. It doesn’t need to be a pissing contest.
Probably the best Indian bobber review i have watched. Thanks bro!
Music on point. You actually were the one who helped me acquire my scout
Really?! That is awesome to hear man! Just because I know its a great bike!
Any Harley owners should THANK an Indian owner for buying an Indian simply due to 2 reasons: Harley dropping prices/or adding more to future models with same price and Harley stays competitive with consistent/amazing products. The same with Indian owners, they should love and support Harley owners because both brands are American Made, both compete in prices and product and WE Benefit together when we don’t bash each other for what we choose to ride on the streets. Something to think about
That's some slick editing and fades man. Content was structured perfectly. Wrap up tied it all together real nice.
Excellent work man.😁👍
Much appreciated! It means a lot! I started off with photography and I've slowly fallen in love with making videos. This definitely makes me want to do more!
Awesome post! I have an 81 HD hardtail Iron Head bobber & a 2001 HD 1200C bobber and I have been thinking about selling them so I can tweak an Indian out to lower the space above the rear tire, drop those rear shocks for a nono shock so it's disconnected from that big rear fender, but that thing is super cool as is and I would love a newer bike like that
The production in this video is on another level. Love the Santurce shirt 🇵🇷
Incredible review! I'm glad to hear that you still love the bike 2 years on.
I've actually got a similar story to you. I felt the exact way about Harleys and their riders that you do but I liked the look of the Iron and thought I might get one. I did my research though and got a Scout Sixty as my second bike, my first being a Honda Shadow that got totalled after only 3 months. One year later on the Sixty and knew I wanted to trade up. I love the blacked out look on the Bobber and got mine last January. 2018 ABS Matte Black. I love it! It's so fucking badass and with my all black gear and leathers I feel like a badass riding it. People regularly stop me at gas stations and whatnot to complement it. It's not a Harley but it's still American!
I'm 5'6 and I agree with you completely on the cramping. I usually take it on half hour rides to and from work but on my days off I've gone on 2+ hour rides. The longest I've taken it was around 4 hours and by the time I got home my muscles and joints were so cramped I felt like I needed to just lie down for a while.
I've currently got Reinhardt racing slip-ons on it but just last week I actually ordered the freedom 2 into 1 and the exact air box and tuner you have based on your first video. I'm still waiting for that to arrive so I can get it installed but I'm pumped for it!
My girlfriend doesn't ride with me but I'm trying to convince her to get her license and a bike of her own.
Ride on man!
That's awesome man! Tha la for sharing this with me! 🙏🙏 You understand when I say that my favorite thing is how it makes me feel! 💪💪 I fixed my first bike (250cc duo Sport from China) and my wife is learning how to ride. Hopefully she falls in love with it and gets a bike... Then I can do some further mods to this one 😂 P.S. You're going to need a spacer for the peg. When installing the exhaust, it hits the peg by a bit. It also helps because it makes it so that the peg scrapes before the exhaust.
@@RickyNotSoMartin Haha! So we're both trying to get our girls to ride too.
I'll keep that in mind with the exhaust. I think I saw that you commented about the spacer for the peg on the exhaust video. I'm going to get it professionally installed. I installed slip-ons on my last bike myself but I don't trust my skills enough to do a full exhaust replacement.
I've come back to your exhaust video time and again. I knew that was the one I wanted. The Reinharts are loud and have a good sound but I want the power and performance increase of a 2 into 1 and the combat looks and sounds fantastic.
It's also funny that you mentioned wanting to get a seat replacement for the Bobber. That was the first thing I did to it. I rode it once and knew that stock seat had to go. I put a black mustang seat on there.
Trade up? I'm 5'5 and 145lbs. Looking at the 60. Was it just pure power you want? Cuz I heard, the difference is not really noticeable until you reach the end of the 60. Because of my size/weight, I was thinking, the 60 would be plenty enough.
Worth the wait! 🙌🏾
I appreciate it brother! Thanks for watching it before I published it and giving me your feedback!
Hey man it's 1200 lilpig! I am here and subbed this channel to support your art man! Loved your review! I would say it's a normal every day dude's view on his bike without the BS. Looking forward to more moto videos brother man cause this was a killer start!
You are awesome man! Your support means a lot brother! Thank you!! 💪💪 I'll be posting more for sure!
I don’t even ride a bike but the looks make me want to buy one. Beautiful.
Great camerawork btw!
man I am in love with that bike looks sooo good and your photography is top notch great work
Love the scout bobber, my one issue was the pipes look too long, but the pipe you put on really balanced it out.
Yea... I'm not a fan of those stock pipes either. First day I hit a curve with them 😂
Outstanding review and professional quality. Awesome humor, amazing angles and honest about your experience. 2020 Iron 883 owner myself. Walked into Indian dealer with hopes of test riding, long story short, the business made zero effort to even try to earn my business or another family in the store at the time. Made my decision much easier, both local HD dealers treat every customer as family by their first name. One day I'll ride an Indian though! Once again, awesome bike and video. Look forward to more of your content!
That sucks man... I don't look like your typical biker so I was pretty much ignored. But, I really wanted the bike so I made it happen.
i love how you have done the review from the looks of a normal rider like the most of us, i actually think that i know how riding this bike feels like
This sounds exactly like my current search. Been through the same videos and thought about the same bikes. Thanks for posting this.
What an excellent review! Sending this one to my son.... who wants one of these.
That is awesome Paul! Thank you so much for the support and for sharing it!
Got to show some love for mi gente. Awesome production!!Mucho orgullo..🇵🇷🇵🇷
Dimelo Bori!!! 🇵🇷🇵🇷 Muchas gracias mi hernamo! That means a lot!!
You might not have those mechanical skills. But you got some photography and editing skills to make up for it.
haha I really appreciate that!!
Definitely opened up my eyes to an Indian bobber man great video!
Might be the best review I’ve ever seen on a motorcycle. Great work my friend!
It really is a beautiful bike. How you feel on that one, is how I feel on my boulevard c50. I love looking at her. It might not be "the best bike" yes it could "use a 6th gear" but damn it, It's still a great machine for me.
Congratulations sir. Great review, she still puts a smile on my face whenever I see her.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
I got it with the fox shocks and the comfort seat, it’s a completely different ride.
Really? Im going to get that comfort seat. Still has the look I like but more cushion. Does it hold you in the seat better than the stock one?
@@RickyNotSoMartin yep, doubles the amount of time you can ride the bike without a break
@@RickyNotSoMartin I can't recommend it enough. Holds me like a glove at high speeds :)
Enough said. Sold!
@@RickyNotSoMartin Let me know what you think!
Gr8 review. I'm coming off 5 sport bikes S1000rr, Ape, GSXR, R1, 675r and looking for a cruiser non harley bike. This help alot. Much appreciated!
This Harley owner is digging this bike :)
Superb review my brother !!
Three Twisted Sisters hell yes bro if you’re ever in the area again, hollar at me. Ricky, heck of a job on this video. Excellent work buddy.
D!! I really appreciate your feedback brother! You know I'm a big fan of your channel so it means a lot! I want to go this riding season for sure! Let's stay plan something ASAP 💪🤙
Man, I love the bike’s look. Seriously contemplating buying one for the leisurely cruises. Keep the R1 for the much needed adrenaline rush.
This guy was born to make videos.. Very impressed with EVERYTHING about this video... 👍👍👍
You make fantastic videos! Production quality is amazing and the content is thoughtful and interesting. Love the bike too…. Black all the way.
great video. I was thinking the same thing with the HD Iron and Honda Rebel but I didn't know about the bobber and now I want to go check one out at the dealership and see what its like.
Really good review - did a great job on the special shots showing just how good the bike looks, and really enjoyed the honest appraisal of the looks/comfort tradeoff. Subscribed.
Thank you so much Larry!! That's awesome to read! I tried really hard to be as honest as I could. Thanks for the feedback! 🤙🤙
Bro you're so underated
Muy duroooo!!!!!💪💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Muchas gracias mi hermano!
The brown seat. It's just subtle details that make stuff awesome. Adds a bit of classy. Love it.
John Maxwell is a local to where I live and my first bike I was a Harley Road King. Bought it from where he use to work. Good video man badass bike.
You legit bought this bike on my wedding day! LOL
Love the bike! Hope to own one someday!
That's awesome! Congratulations!! It's an awesome bike! Hope you could make it happen brother! 💪
Awesome video Ricky!! Love my scout bobber 👍
Thank you!! 🙏🙏 I appreciate it!
LMAO! I laughed so much when you mentioned “comfort”. I so could relate...hahaha...great review 👍
One of the best reviews I've ever seen. 👌
Very good job.
Great video. I have been riding motorcycles now for 46 years and in that time I'm happy to say I have had the privilege of riding just about everything out there, even some radical one off customs. I have found that there is a trade off for everything. It would be nice to have a shop full of a verity of bikes to match my riding mood but like most, that's out of my budget. I have got bikes that I'd thought I'd love but didn't and bike's I didn't think I would like (because the wife talked me into) and fell in love with. I think as one who will be spending a lot of time on motorcycles, you will find that your taste will continue to change. The bike that was one day your 3rd choice is now your 1st choice. You may never stop liking that bobber but you may prefer something different later. Thanks again for the great video.
The Matt Laidlaw reference was gold 😂 That dude is always cryin about Indian
He puts our great content, so make sure to check him out! I obviously don't think he's a douchebag but if I was going to use anyone for that joke, it had to be him! 😂😂
I went from a Kawasaki Vulcan S to a Scout Bobber. Freakin amazing!
Uff! Two awesome bikes!
This is some of the best cinematography I've seen in a bike review. It's up there with Fortnine. Nice bike man. Subbing for sure.
Wow! That means a lot! I'm a big fan of Fortnine!
I have the exact same compliments complaints. Everything you say in this video is exactly spot on but I love my scout bobber I won't won't trade it for anything!!!!
Thank you so much for doing this video. I think that I've almost completely made up my mind now. At first, I didn't think that I like the scout bobber at all, and getting a lot of people calling it a chick bike, and everything. But now, I think I actually DO like this bike. I've gone and sat on a Chief, but haven't done a test ride because I haven't gotten my endorsement, but now I think I'm going to go shopping for this scout bobber. Thanks again!
love your purple pants!!!
Me too!! 🤫
😂😂
That Clemente Cangrejeros shirt is as badass as the bike!
Uff! I totally agree! 🇵🇷
i like the way their going with the scout they know this bike would be a cheaper popular option so that means more customization i just want more people on Indians by the time i go looking to buy a bike
Awesome!
The bike looks badass the way you set it up sounds even better
I absolutely love this video. LOL! Thanks for the review man, glad you love the bike...it is beautiful.
The one dislike is from the guy who bought the 883 sportster 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
@Kerry Long its impossible...
@Kerry Long can you share link where some1 do it?
@Kerry Long aa
@Kerry Long hammers big bore kit 1275cc with some other work could help 883 reach 130bhp
By far the best review of any bike I have ever watched on TH-cam. I’m subscribing.
Jacob!!! You are the man!! Thank you brother! I appreciate that a lot! Definitely motivates me to keep at it! Thank you again!
One of the best reviews of the scout that I have ever seen. U gotta do more reviews abt different bike's ( chief dark horse pls). 👍
More to come! I'm reaching out to my local dealers to see if we can work on some reviews of other bikes on the line-up! Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it!
Your bike is beautiful bike. I like it a lot.
I have a 2019 Softail Slim and a lot of the complaints you have are the same that I have. I’ve had to change a lot of stuff and it’s still only good for short distances.
Your bobber is super nice. Ride safe!
Couldn't agree more about the look. The moment I saw that bike I wanted to have it. atm goin for my license and hopefully next year I will be a proud owner of that beautiful bike. thx for the review
Great review!!! Been looking at it since 2019!!! 2022 is the year I'm getting!!!! Thanks alot!!
You just got a new sub! This is art right here. Literally some of the best production I’ve ever seen in my life. Dude please keep grinding
Sweet ride!! I would definitely upgrade that seat just for my lower back and find something that keeps look you want.
Thank you brother!🙏🙏 Indian came out with one with the same look, but with a lot more cushion. That's next on my list for sure!
@@RickyNotSoMartin I was thinking since you hit 15k in 2 years. Why not go for 50k 5yrs. Lol. Might as well enjoy the long rides. I was thinking about buy gel pads under my old seat. Seeing the leather is still ok but foam from 1998. Lol. I would try some leather softener if it's just the leather. But I would guess it's broken in by now
@@RickyNotSoMartin and different shocks
This is an awesome review, just a tiny critique: The music is often a bit too loud and makes it somewhat difficult to understand you :)
Wayy too loud
It wont happen again! Thanks for letting me know and being so cool about it!
@@RickyNotSoMartin still a nice video tho
@@RickyNotSoMartin still a nice video tho
Great video! Already a rider myself. Guy looks like he was on a dirtbike and who knows what condition for that crazy wobble that you stopped riding one handed.
Great video, not only was it educational but also funny, btw sick bike. The murdered out look def makes it better.
What a great bike. Only thing stopping me is the 15k€ price tag here in Germany...
22k$ here
same in czech rep😔so beautiful bike
🇵🇷🇵🇷 I just bought mine 2 month ago!! And I love it!!
Dímelo Bori!! 🇵🇷🇵🇷 Congratulations brother! What color you got?
Ruby Smoke!
Yo tambn ando aquí en Texas!! Congrats brother.!!
@@josueruiz5070 wow! Me encanta ese color!
Amazing video man, this video is about to BLOW up I can tell already. You did a killer job. Cinematics were on point, you were very thorough, & did a good job of describing the bikes pros & cons for the type of bike it is, a bobber.
Ah man, thank you so much brother! 🙏🙏 I had a lot of fun doing this video! This is my quarantine project 😂 I really appreciate your feedback man. I love what you're doing over at your channel.
Awesome video brotha. Detailed and I appreciate that you highlighted the negatives even though you love the bike.
Coño! Tremenda moto, Y yo tan bien me encanta la Indian…. Pero me monte en la Triumph bobber… WOW! Pero tengo la Scout. Suerte hermano. Boriqua your videos are so well done! As an older man I am so proud of you Boriqua. We need more content! They are great videos…… even with your purple pants LOL!
Accurate review dude! I agree, OEM seat and exhaust are the worst. Other than that, this bike is absolutely amazing out the box. Nice edit too. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you so much Bobby! I really appreciate your support man, it means a lot! 🙏🙏
