Architecturally, the engines in the 1250 cc Scouts vs an FTR are completely different. Bore and stroke are different. It’s not a comparison between two models.
Welcome back, we haven't got the new Scouts this side of the pond yet, but I like the look of the Classic the 101 looks good I do believe you can get mid control set up on the 101.
Thanks, nice to be back for a few videos! It’s a great update! On a 101 I’d put floor boards on, handlebars that come way back, a back rest, and still just rip around locally! 🤣 If I could change anything about my motorcycle history, I’d have kept my original American graffiti-esque Scout Icon!
Indian also sells front control extensions for a couple more inches to straighten and lower your knees a bit. I'm thinking that might ease the clam-shell feeling a bit. Of course I'm 6'3" so reaching the bars is not an issue.
A few times after upshifting I felt a rubbing sensation in the clutch when I was letting it out. Only happened a few times and I guess I forgot about it by the end of the ride. Can’t say there’s anything wrong with the transmission - could be a demo bike thing, or could have just been me for all I know. 🤷♂️ I’ve never had any issues with the transmissions on my Indians.
No, it was at Indian Motorcycle of Fredericksburg. I don’t think I’ve seen Chesapeake Cycles do a demo day tbh. Just a good reason to visit Fredericksburg! ✌️

I wonder how many time you said FTR ????? its a 101 we were interested in :-)
🤦♂️ I know, I know. But they’re very similar, and that’s what I’m riding now, so it’s only natural I’d talk about it. 🤷♂️ lol
Would luv to test ride in this major city in syd nsw aus but almost near impossible atm
Spring’s around the corner, right? ✌️

@@KenOtwell haha yeah, I think it’s more about the reach to the bars than the controls for a shorty like me! 🤣
What's wrong with the transmission?
