Just bought a 2018 Scout today. I've always like Indians for a couple of reasons. In the mid-70's, they made a handful of small bikes. 50-125cc. I had the 6-speed, 70cc motocross bike. It was a real competitor at that time. The 125 radial fin put out as much HP as the Honda 125 CR at the time. They were called the Elsinore then. They faded away, I got older and didn't ride any more. I've pondered getting a bagger over the years and always kept my eye on the Indian line for posterity's sake. Keep in mind, I wouldn't buy a bike with a crappy reputation or bad reviews. My best friend of 40+ years had the Indian 4 speed back in the day and today he has a street glide and his son has a soft tail slim. That soft tail is what got me wanting a bike again. He had after-market pipes on it and it sent chills down my spine when I sat on it and fired it up! But, I don't like being like everybody else. I want a Chieftain but I'd have to save for a few years, (I pay cash. Don't believe in debt). But that soft tail just rumbled and I knew I had to have a bike. I went to the dealer in Chandler, AZ today and it happened to be Indian demo day. I knew what I wanted and was ready to deal. I got a Scout with some upgrades. We'll see how it pans out. I'll pick it up tomorrow...My plan is to trade it in in a couple years for a Chieftain. What I wonder is, why do all these reviews slip by all the features and just go on a ride? An example is the one-touch start. My buddy's Street Glide and his son's Soft Tail require you to hold the starter until it's running. The Indian's don't. But they don't point that out. That's actually a good feature. It saves on your starter, etc. All of these reviews are "go-pro" reviews with commentary but never actually address the bikes features. Just the ride, pick-up, braking, etc. Anyway, I'm a first-time "big bike" buyer, big for me anyway. I just found that kind of strange. Update: This review noted the one-touch start but 99% of the reviews never mention it.

It’s a 2016 scout 60 in red already had saddle bags and sissy bar mustang seat and Vance and Hines all the things I would have done to a stock bike were already done! Thank you BLOCKHEAD!!

Not quite 60, you have to go to second for a 0-60 run, but the bike loves no lift shifts. And you are correct about the power, soft rev limiter kicks in at 8300, decent acceleration from 3k-5k. Make sure your ass is firmly planted from 5k-8k.

Am not an expert on bikes and their history, but you have to say to yourself sometimes trying to keep your market while not catering for others newer and younger market could and will kill the business. Indian / Polaris had to do sometime different, try something different in-order to compete in bike / cruiser marker. They already lost to Harley in this department, will lose to the Japanese market if they try to compete in that department so the did what next best. Bring the the two world together, give you the American cruiser look with the power like the Japanese bikes. Simply what am trying to say is they need to evolve just like Harley is kind of doing. They also need to push on their advertising and awareness campaign. My only grape with Polaris is that they shouldn't have killed off Victory, they could have just merged it into Indian, but I do understand their reasons for killing them off. Money, profit.

You can't get a Street Bob in a 114ci only 107ci. Unless you pay the dealer an extra 3000 installed for a 114ci upgrade, pipes and intake. The Scout is also a faster bike 0-60 and 1/4 mi. It runs as fast as a 2017 Lowrider S but just behind a VROD.

Grats on the new scoot! Be sure you read/video up on winterizing your bike and invest in a battery tender.

Thanks.Today I went and I left it at someone for winter.And the thing is I'm gonna have to buy a new battery because this one doesn't work anymore,that's the only problem it got.It had to be pushed to start,the guy I bought it from when it came with the bike it came with the battery from his other bike and with that one starts just fine.

Nice looking bikes. My first was a 535 virago. Switched over to 1200 custom from Harley later on. Gave the virago to my gf since her bike broke down. But still love the way it looks. Just lacks to much torque.

I asked about the Indian bikes vs Harley on reddit when doing some investigation of these bikes, and a guy who's a tech for EagleRider came in and explained these bikes very often have starter issues and failures: Hopefully my comment isn't lost in the ether. I work as a service manager for EagleRider, as such I have quite a bit of experience with Indians. I do not like the scouts. They're fun to ride around on. They handle well and they have decent power for what they are. I'd say they're faster than an XL1200. However, they're cheaply made and a pain in the ass to work on. Their starters go out all the time. I regularly have customers on rent with starters that fail or have issues with starting, it just won't get going. The scout starter goes out so frequently, and Indian/Polaris knows it, that they've been on and off backorder for the past 6 months. I can't keep them in stock. Their horns also fail all the time. Now, most bikers don't use the horn. You can't hear them. But if you're the kind of guy that cares, they fail. They suck. The bikes also just generally feel cheap and plastic. Same with the big Indians, though your question wasn't about them. If you like doing your own maintenance the sporty is the far superior choice. To replace an air filter on a scout you have to remove the gas tank, kinda like a crotch rocket. Same with spark plugs. They aren't BAD bikes I just have a distaste for them brought on by seeing their failures and hearing my techs bitch about them far more than they do any Harley model. ~Legionodeath via Reddit.

FranBunnyFFXII ok the first scouts 2015's starters not as good. But since then Indian has really improved on the scout. I have 2017 Scout and have not ridden it two months coz of the winter. Recently one day it brightened up to 40°F, I cranked the start button and out started right away.

EagleRider=rental bikes. Rental bikes=abused bikes. You're going to get a lot of inexperienced riders who don't know how to not be abusive, or ypu're going to the highly experienced who don't want to beat the shit out of their own bikes..

Yeah, and it's a pretty good indicator of what will fail faster and what holds up to abuse better.

Is this the Scout, or Scout 60? Because the scout is 69 cui, and the Scout 60 only has 5 gears.
