My 2nd bike was an Indian Scout (not the 60). I think either Scout model would make a good first bike! I would recommend new riders to learn on bikes without technology aids, makes for a better rider and you learn to know your own limits.
Thanks! This video was extremely helpful. I am New to riding at 40 years old and the Scout Sixty has been on my radar for awhile now. Great review
Thanks for the great video, Considering a Scout for my first bike. Nice to hear from a MO local too!
Thanks for watching! The Scout is an awesome platform to learn on and can be very rewarding as your first bike. I just sold a 69 cubic inch Scout to a first-time motorcycle buyer and he's super happy with his decision to spend a bit extra and get a bike he can grow alongside.
yeah man very useful testing and feedback, I am about to buy one so very glad to watch this !!!
Thanks for watching! Ride safe. 😎
Ive owned numerous motorcycles mostly crotch rockets such as Hayabusa, Ninja ZX11 ! Just purchased a 23 Stryker red Scout Bobber 60ABS ,first new cruiser! This bike gets more attention and compliments than any bike Ive owned!
I am 55 and a new rider. i bought a Scout 60 and LOVE it. I don't know if I will upgrade down the road, but for now I am having a lot of fun driving back roads in Pennsylvania on my storm blue Scout 60.
Nice...I'm your exact age and I'm thinking of getting one. I'm a little nervous being a beginner. Any advice you can give me....thanks.
@@digidrum2003 In Pennsylvania we have free motorcycle training classes offered by the state. If you take the class you "graduate" with a motorcycle license. It is part classroom, part riding in a huge parking lot. They provide the motorcycle. This class was excellent. I would definitely suggest taking a class first, even if not in Pa. Then just start slow. I bought it last summer and tried to ride a little each day. I don't ride in the rain or bad conditions. I found back roads and just rode. I am getting more comfortable now. I have been on the highway a few times. I don't love that but it is nice to let the engine rip. These bikes are powerful. Mostly I drive 40 miles per hour on back roads though. I also feel comfortable because I bought a nice helmet and boots and a jacket and gloves. So at least I am a little protected from road rash. So far no spills. Mostly, just enjoy.
@@wingersfan Thanks for the tips. I live in Texas and I have found a class near my home. Be safe out there!
This is helpful for me, as a new rider, I'm just listening in on the feedback. The handlebars is what caught my attention. I'm short and my arms as well. I'd have to see and sit on in person to really make that decision but this model sure does interest me.
Indian does offer reduced reach handlebars if you're concerned with being able to reach. You can really customize the scout platform to be set up ideally for your dimensions.
Thank you man I’m picking mine up Friday and it’s my first bike, my nerves were way up and you settled them
Glad to hear it. Thanks for watching! You’re not nervous, you’re excited! 😁 It can only go as fast you tell it to. Just practice plenty and keep your head on a swivel. Ride safe. 😎
Hey how is it going trying to pick one up myself
My man, THANKS, great content!
Thanks for watching. 😎
Really cool...I appreciate your reviews!
Thanks for watching! Ride safe. 💪😎
First video I have watched of yours.. awesome job lived the video enough to give a 👍 and subscribe.
Hey, I appreciate the subscription! Glad you enjoyed it. I've got a decent catalog of other videos you might like if you want to check them out.
Thanks for watching and ride safe. 😎
I am about 5 foot 5... I got the bike because I can could put my feet down flat. Never want to be tippy towing it... at lights and stop signs. Great bike.
Good review, and my pick. I would like the bars back more, so maybe the mini apes, I'm old and getting back in.
Mini apes or the reduced reach bars if you don’t want your hands higher. Happy riding! 😄
Can confirm this vid! This guy knows his bikes... and im not just saying that because he sold me a scount bobber 60 a month ago. :)
Very helpful! Thanks for the ride
I'm 72 years old and been riding for almost 60 years. I currently own a 2022 one of these (Quartz Gray) and a 2018 CB500F. The Honda would be a better entry bike but it has too much butt for a lot of beginners. So I agree to disagree. The Scout Bobber 60 ain't no beginner bike. I like the bike especially since it doesn't have rider modes. Wish it had a fuel gauge and cruise control since it's ride by wire but I installed an Atlas throttle lock. Well, enough rambling. I still like your channel.
Hey Jerry, appreciate the input. In terms of cruisers, there are definitely some better options out there for beginners from the Japanese OEMs. In terms of what Indian Motorcycle is offering though, this is somewhat viewed as their “beginner” or “entry level” motorcycle since it is the most budget friendly and lowest CC available.
It definitely provides more than enough power for its chassis though, which can be good for teaching throttle control/discipline. The flip side to that is the abundance of power can increase the chance of punishing a new/beginner rider if they are not paying attention and respecting the throttle.
Your continued viewership is appreciated. Always appreciate some intelligent feedback from viewers with first-hand experience. Thanks for sharing. Ride safe. 👍
I agree with you that it not a beginner bike! 1000cc bikes are not beginner bikes! Stick with 500 to 650 ccs for beginner bikes!
The best review of the scout sixty I've seen so far. I'm a beginner and just bought the 2023 model yesterday. I think you mentioned exactly why I bought it. I'm planning on a harley fat boy as my next bike in a couple of years
Cheers bro 🤙🏼
The Fat Boy will feel very similar in terms of ergonomics, but of course the engine characteristics and power delivery will be completely different. Enjoy your Scout Sixty for what it has to offer, and upgrade when you're ready! 😄 Ride safe and thanks for watching.
Play your cards right and have em both. Wife joked about me learning to stunt ride both of mine at once. Glad she understands about boys and their toys. Enjoy that bad boy and be safe.
My buddy just bought one of these new, he wasn't to happy with the seat. I told him it's brand new, the seat may just need to be broken in a bit. Personally I have zero clue what the hell he's crying about. I like it.
I am very comfortable with my seat on my Scout.
@@robertlamont9712 exactly. I really don't know what my buddy was complaining about
Love your vibe!
Im 6'5 and skinny, looking at the indian bobber for awhile now. Raced motocross for a bunch of years but this would be my first road bike. Now im concerned id be too tall for it, but god do i love the look of these bikes.
Hey there, a solid question with reasonable concern. The Bobber (and the scout platform altogether really) is going to have you pretty cramped. You might be able to swap a set of extended reach handlebars from Indian's website to help a little, but your knees are likely going to be above the tank when you sit on it and the bike is going to feel small no matter what. For your height, I'd recommend an Indian Chief. It's a slightly larger frame motorcycle and it's only 100LBS heavier. Your height is going to be the biggest challenge for these low-slung cruiser motorcycles.
One option you might look into is the Vulcan 650 S from Kawasaki - They offer the ergo-fit option for the platform at no additional cost through a Kawasaki dealership when you buy new. It's a beginner-friendly motorcycle that will provide you with more comfort, which will give you an overall better riding experience. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching.
@@Omni_Moto Thanks for the advice, I'll keep those in mind. Definitely going to have to go sit on a couple different bikes too just to see how they feel
Very helpful. Thanks!
Damn that is a nice bike. Currently have a Sporty 72 and Softail Std but I wouldn't mind one of those in the garage too.
This horse would be a nice addition to your stable! I'm sure your other 2 could use a friend.
@@Omni_Moto agree they have a ruby red paint that's a showstopper
@@Omni_Moto was playing around building one on Indian website. Quickly got over 15k from under 11k. I will buy someone else's midlife crisis bike with 1000 miles eventually and save 7k. Dig both scout and the 60.
Love that exhaust
Good job evaluating. TKS
Thanks for watching!
Bro I'm subscribed, your funny asf 😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅
Best bike ever build Indian scout!
Love my sixty.
I love your videos man!! But I have a question I’ve been stuck between the cfmoto nk300 and nk650 I live in the middle of pretty much no where and I takes 30 mins to get anywhere. To go anywhere I have to take highways where speed limits are 70 to 75mph. Should I go for the 300 or should I just go for the 650?
For what you described, the 650 is the best choice if you want to stick with the NK series. It would have a far better time handling highway speeds than the little 300NK. However, the 650NK is a very old design paired with a fancy display. In my opinion it is over-weight and under-powered in its class, and CF already produces a better bike for just a little more moolah 💰
Personally, I’d recommend you go for the CL-X 700 instead. It has cruise control, 2 throttle modes, and it weighs less. Only $300 more for the standard CL-X, and for $700 more you could even get the CL-X Sport with Brembo brakes.
Hope this helps.
@@Omni_Moto I’ll definitely look into it for sure thanks my guy!!!
Howdy Omni, you mentioned this wouldnt be as great of a value for a 2nd or 3rd bike and to look up the ladder a bit. Is that advice for cruisers only? Ive been looking at the scout sixty bobber for awhile. It would be my first cruiser after riding solely sport bikes (ninja 300 and zx6r). Should i aim up the ladder? Thanks for the review!
Hey there Astro! The bobber sixty IMO is a bit of a lateral move when it comes to it being a 2nd bike because it's such a beginner friendly motorcycle, but you can still romp on it and have fun with it. Since you asked for my opinion, I think you should go for the standard Scout Bobber. I did a video on that one a while ago that's not edited quite as nicely as this one, but showcases some of the performance difference between the models. It's got a bit more power and uses the same chassis with minimal differences aside from a few cosmetic bits as well as engine performance. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching and ride safe. th-cam.com/video/zl9zpvQO3c0/w-d-xo.html
This bike is pretty man ❤👍
Agreed 👍
Over here in Waynesville, MO, on a Yamaha Bolt. I'm considering a Scout or Chief. Any thoughts on the Interceptor or Meteor in comparison to the Scout or Chief?
Thanks for the Scout 60 review.
Hey there Waynesville! IMO, The Scout would be a diagonal step from a Yamaha Bolt. Slightly forward, but also slightly lateral since weight/power are staying in the range of the Bolt.
I think a Chief would be the most logical next step if you were looking to upgrade since it is a true middleweight.
The Interceptor or Meteor will both be much more relaxed engines that are not as rowdy, and provide a very basic riding experience. They're not the most thrilling motorcycles in the world, but they are very simple and mechanical. I've actually reviewed both on my channel if you want to get some more insight.
Thanks for the great question! Ride safe.
@@Omni_Moto thanks for the reply, much appreciated.
There is a tachometer... left handle. You found it... lol. Also give the volts. And milage. Enjoy.
Helpful
Also... We gotta get you a new mic lol
took me a second to realize you were in columbia where i live lol
the more you know 🌈⭐
I learned that’s not the bike for me I am going with the rogue variant thanks
Indian scout sixty very impress 😎
yes
Get saddlebags. The hard ones by Indian. About 400 plus 200 mounting parts and another 200 labor and tax.
Hey buddy it's possible to buy this bike in India any problem according to motor vehicle act can you please give an answer
Hi Furious, as far as I know the Scout Bobber Sixty is available for purchase in India. I don't know cost, and I don't know what impacts the motor vehicle acts would have on it in that part of the world. I am not familiar with India’s motor vehicle acts. Sorry I could not be more help.
Ok Bro.. I think its possible to buy ....
Im 161 cm tall......is it a good idea to take a bobber sixt as my first bike?
You should fit on the bike fairly well. As long as your inseam isn’t super low, you should find confidence when hopping into the saddle. Go check one out in a showroom if you have the opportunity!
Would I be tip toeing if I’m 5’5 ?
Should be able to get your feet firmly planted, but it will depend on your inseam at that point. 👍
beats the hell out of a honda rebel!!
The 1000 cc is enough for me..
Soon you will want 1200... lol
Aye!! You have no business calling out my mom like that 😒
I’ll stop calling out ur mom when she stops calling 📞 me 😤😤
@@Omni_Moto 😂😂😂😂
You said nothing about shocks and comfort. Is it a back breaker??
Suspension and seat is a little rough over road imperfections. You can improve it with upgraded shocks and an aftermarket seat or the Indian factory seat.
