Yep we finally got what we wanted. I should be devoting more time to videos, but alas life responsibilities call.

Sure is :)

A lot of rear tire slippage and I wasn’t using the break heavy enough to engage abs because that would be a disaster.

@@TheMotoScout Good to know. Thanks.

Definitely. I’m looking forward to seeing them advance the scout model further and just offer accessories for the bike rather than 4 versions of the same bike.

Awesome 👏🏻

Thanks ❤

Awesome

Thanks! 🙏🏻

Not anymore. And I just returned from a 6,000 mile trip on my scout.

While I doubt this is a genuine question the answer is numerous depending on who “anyone” is. The real question is, “Why do guys feel the need to worship bike brands to the point of mocking what someone else rides?” I know personally I have no interest in almost anything in the HD lineup.

@@TheMotoScout I wasn't mocking anyone, just a genuine question from someone he is not a bike expert. I know that Indian can't claim tradition and history as they stopped building bikes for decades. Now the big company who owns Indian and used to own Victory bikes too decided to shut down Victory as they were a company with no historical background at all, just a good bike company....and they decided to go with Indian as they supposedly claim some kind of history as they started building bikes even before HD. So far so good but...with HD the bikes are a natural evolution from one year to the next for over 110 years and Indian just came up with a few models that have little relevance to the bikes built originally. Having said that they still "claim history" by obviously marketing the bikes as the old Indian company that makes bikes since 1906 or whatever year...but they aren't really that company as they didn't work through thick and thin, they just shut down and the bikes even look from behind like some cheap Japanese bikes (the back of the scout looks like a Honda Rebel), which is a bit of a joke when someone wants to buy an original looking American bike (especially here in Europe and pay a lot of money for it). So yes, it was a genuine question and if you can shed some light on some facts I might have missed as I am not an expert. I just read up on it quite a bit and there are a few drawbacks to buying an Indian although it's a nice looking bike, alongside with the fact that there aren't too many dealers here in Europe if we run into trouble, which is never the case with HD. Thanks in advance

@@zafira976 there are holes in your understanding of the history. Harley was owned by a bowling ball company for a while after changing hands and going through a rough patch. Side by side Indian is building better motorcycles right now in my opinion and if you’ve been to a HD dealer lately in the US other than the rare few that still prioritize the customer, you’d know why Indian is at the top of the competition for HD in the US. Polaris is a great American brand, and I’m glad to see what they are doing with Indian as well as staying connected to the roots of the brand that began in 1901. Competition for both companies is a good thing and in the end will hopefully continue to produce a great lineup of motorcycles for consumers.

@@TheMotoScout Thank you very much for the inside and yes you are right, there are holes in my knowledge and understanding of the history of both brands. Thanks for shedding some light. Are the Indian bikes very reliable in your experience/opinion? I am just concerned of who would be able to fix/repair these bikes here in Southern Europe as people got zero experience with this bike brand. How reliable are Indian bikes?

@@zafira976 I can’t speak to every model as I’ve only lived with and owned the Scout Bobber, but I’m currently on a 5,000 mile trip that will take my 2019 model over 40,000 miles. I would say it’s highly reliable and I’ve had no major issues to date. Any bike properly maintained should last you a lifetime. Most maintenance is easy and can be done yourself and a dealer isn’t needed. I find a good bike mechanic much more feasible and helpful than a dealer any day. Most of the dealers are filled with “mechanics” that take video courses and then go to work on bikes having little experience anyway. I’ve had way more issues with dealers than with a good mechanic.

Awesome. Glad you are Enjoying it!

I own a HD, ride what makes you happy!

Softtail standard is the next upgrade after a scout 1200

@@TheAnnoyingBoss then you’ll have to deal with the Indian Chief

Awesome. Let me know what you think when you do

That’s awesome! And congrats on your new bike!

Well you could almost buy a sportster for that instead 🤣

Nice!

Awesome. I look forward to hearing about what you think about it.

Thanks bro!

Awesome and congrats!

Indeed it is! Thanks man!

Definitely. I love my mini apes

Sounds awesome. There’s a lot of great builds out there and content for the bike. If I get a second bike I’ll end up stripping my bobber back down.
