Completely agree with everything you said about it, it does turn literally everyone's heads anywhere I go with mine and its still 100% stock (waiting for my SuperTrapp exhausts). Also yours sounds absolutely fantastic. Also I got the comfort seat when I bought it, it is incredibly comfy and I can't complain about it.
You had me at versatility. I've been contemplating getting an Indian Scout for some time. Thanks to this video, I think it's safe to say I'm sold on getting the bobber sixty, since I'm a total noob. LOL
Love my Bobber. Took your advice and got Drean Speed drag bars and an Alex Craft seat, also Basanni slip ons and it looks, sounds, feels and rides amazing. Been all over Scotland with it. 8000 miles in 6 months and loved every mile. Just sad that it's garaged up now until better weather.
Best damn review I seen on this bike. Great job jimbobbington. Ha! Just bought a 2020 Scout Bobber ABS, gotta go pick it up Thurs. Been my dream bike for awhile. After seeing your review I am even more excited to get it out there in the wind soon, and ride free. And no sir, I promise not to ever be a skid mark. Ha Haaa!
You're comments of This Motorcycle is exactly right Sir and totally agree with describing the feeling it gives you when on it can't be found in words. Great Video again and look forward to more as-well-as hoping to make one with my mods to send to you 👍
Hey Jim, great rundown of your take on the bobber, I’m salivating here, waiting for my November ‘21 order to be built/delivered. That bump in the road worried me a little though! Is it as bad as it looked and will it hurt? Great 1-year review, thanks!
I know the feeling man! I waited for 2 months after I ordered. Hopefully your wait isn't any longer than that! Even with stock suspension, it takes a pretty horrible pothole to cause any pain, and it kinda has to catch you off guard. I've had a decent nut slapper or two that wasn't awesome haha.
Got mine in June as a late birthday present to myself. I’ve loved it from mile 1. Totally agree with everything you’ve said in this video. Currently waiting on 10” Dean Speed Shruggers to throw on it. Can’t wait until next riding season (too cold for my comfort to ride in NYC)
Any mention from Indian whether the new digital display on the chief would work with the Scout Bobber? 1 of the reasons I got my Sportster S over it. I’d still love an Indian Scout Bobber one day as it’s still a dream bike to me.
I took one for a test ride here in the UK and really liked it. Fitted with Vance and Hines exhaust and the sound was epic. My balls ached all day though, probably due to the standard seat.
It does take a little work to make it comfortable for each individual. But I definitely suggest riding for a while with the stock setup so you don't make the mistake many others make and they end up buying multiple seats and handlebars because they didn't think it through long enough.
@@Jimbobbington I found the bike a good fit with the bars and pegs, and I’d probably have bought it there and then and fitted the comfort seat, but I currently ride a KTM super adventure so it would be a 2nd bike, and I just couldn’t justify the outlay. Mind you, with the way the world is going right now I might not have an adventure bike for much longer….
I Just love my bike also indian scout bobber off course, i live in the netherlands, and it's winter here so conditions for riding is bad and i can't go take her out for a spin. But next year we are going to do many road trips together again :) i am truly in love with this bike and ok after a 2 hours drive you need some off time to relax your muscles just to hop on again 15 min later to continue the ride again
Denmark, where even an MT 07 starts at 12k USD xD And if you buy it on a loan from the bank, you pay about 3-3.8k on top (4 years) of the bikes value... Maybe this country just hates bikers xD Test drove the scout with J&H exhaust, what a feeling! The forward controls are super comfy for me, and the experience while riding is un-describable! Super jealous of you :) Stay safe and lots of miles ;)
Not a fan of the baby blue colored handlebar.. it looks so funny... making it look like a girls bike.. but hey, I agree with you about what u know about the bobber...
"Don't be a skidmark". That's a good slogan! Nice video Jim. Keep pumpin' 'em out! Liked and subscribed.
Haha thank you!

It puts an even bigger smile on your face once you get the exhaust on!

That's awesome! I have another video where I talk about the bobber as a beginner bike and I think the sixty is an awesome place to start!
@@Jimbobbington Awesome! I'll check it out. Thank you, sir.
P.S. You just gained a new subscriber. Keep the videos coming!
@@ItothaGO awesome, thank you for the support!

Sounds like some great choices! I just shoveled some snow, so I know how you feel.

Haha thanks for the kind words, and congratulations on your new Bobber! You're going to love it!

Very cool, thank you! Would love to see what you end up doing to yours.
I can't wait to get mine, ordered in October, looking forward to get her in January or February. Best wishes from Germany!
It is well worth the wait!
Great review. Was this made with the new audio set up in your helmet?
Yessir, Purple Panda mic and gopro adapter

That scout costs the same as a softail here in the philippines because of the Import tax maybe.. but i like it more than anything
It definitely looks better than a soft tail!
Great video. I can’t wait to a Indian scout bobber in the future. And stick that awesome exhaust you have on mine one.
Hey thanks dude! Have you ordered one yet or just thinking about it?
@@Jimbobbington No haven’t order one yet but its definitely going to be my next bike.
@@richjax2405 awesome!

Mine was also a birthday present to myself!
Got the 8” Dean Speed Low Ball bars myself. Made a huge difference in riding comfort for me. Hope it does the same for you!
Yes the scouts are just amazing machines. Especially considering the price tag.
They are pretty fantastic!
Thanks for the great content
Thanks for watching!

Sadly I don't think we'll get that nice display on the bobber.
@@Jimbobbington Lol, I’m still hopeful someone will come and figure something out.
I took one for a test ride here in the UK and really liked it. Fitted with Vance and Hines exhaust and the sound was epic. My balls ached all day though, probably due to the standard seat.

😂 “tree fiddy pounds.” Got my bobber this past September and loved every moment thus far
😄 glad to hear!
I have never had so much attention on a bike then my Scout Bobber
Right? It's kinda crazy!
I Just love my bike also indian scout bobber off course, i live in the netherlands, and it's winter here so conditions for riding is bad and i can't go take her out for a spin. But next year we are going to do many road trips together again :) i am truly in love with this bike and ok after a 2 hours drive you need some off time to relax your muscles just to hop on again 15 min later to continue the ride again
I'm in the same boat! Just waiting for the next great day I'll be able to ride!
Great review, man. Bike sounds mean af
Thank you!
Too bad it costs 38k USD where I live... Most beautiful bike ever made imho, fell in love with it at the first sight.
Wow! Where are you from?

Also I'd buy that hoodie!
There's a link to my store in the description of my videos now!
@@Jimbobbington oh baby baby!
Thanks mate
You got it!
My wife often calls me her Scout Bobber.
Haha she's a keeper!
Not a fan of the baby blue colored handlebar.. it looks so funny... making it look like a girls bike.. but hey, I agree with you about what u know about the bobber...
LOL, fair enough, but it's not going anywhere! Turquoise is my jam!
Wtb 50s weather....
Haha. Will be riding again this week before Xmas too I think!
