- Today, I find myself riding around another one of these sporty cruisers in this used 2018 Indian Scout. Could this finally be the sector of cruisers that Chase can call his favorite?

"I wish I could get a firmer grip and a better rubber." - Chase 2022.
As a guy that will ride just about anything with two wheels, it's awesome to see you getting some cruiser seat time in.
Keep up the good stuff 👍
This exact Indian Scout (colour and all) is what got me liking bikes. Love at first sight, well this and the first Triumph Bobber
That is awsome that you have somebody following you and recording you from a distance. Really gives us an idea what the bike looks like with somebody riding it. Most bloggers don't do that.
So glad you made this one I’ve been looking at one of these for a bit now really want it
I love the scout. Gonna be ordering mine this summer with bags, floor boards and a batwing fairing so when I decide to take a longer trip than back and forth to work I dont get fatigued as quick from the wind. Great bike in my opinion.
That's what I did on mine, you won't regret it
Floorboards are a must for me
Thank you! I'm seriously thinking on getting a Scout by early next year and the more reviews I see the better. You guys are awesome! 👍🏼💪🏼
Definitely wait…. It should be due for a revamp soon and they will probably upgrade a lot of little things. Nothing worse than buying a bike only for a newer better version of it to come out 6 months later. It’s gotta be due for a revamp soon they’ll probably add some more techno Wizardry and some other good stuff for a modern bike.
I say get one. I love mine
@@Dara-ih6jq I could see optional touchscreen stuff coming maybe next year but these bikes are kept cheap through the tech-lite approach they have with the scout... this particular scout model has and continues to be a huge success and often motorcycle companies take a no-broke no-fix stance. Their biggest revamp should be cruise control and LED headlamp from factory as standard
As someone who had started out on a Rebel 500 and still has it and likes sports cruisers. It's nice too see someone who rides sports bikes and cruisers. It's hard too find people who ride a dynamic line up for their channel.
dude i used to watch your adventure videos when i was younger, just found you again from your desert sled video, its gonna be my first bike and ive been watching your how to ride videos too, great content man
I enjoy watching chase learn. And its totally a cool process. Love to see you guys hitting different motorcycle categories. Maybe some ADV as well??!
Nice job on the video Chase! 2016 Indian Scout owner here; awesome bike - 30k miles with no major issues. (Brakes suck and always scraping pegs in hard corners.) Having said all that, am considering “adding” (not getting rid of this bike), an MT-09 SP to my stable for increased lean angle in the mountains and a little more power from 0-100. This Scout is awesome for a leisurely spirited ride around town!!
Would LOVE to see the Indian Chief next!!
I love the look of the scout, the website is great as you can get a 360 view while you build it how you want
Light to Middleweight cruisers are great to have as a 2nd bike when you want something different or just want to go for a ride and not be serious. I ride a modded MT-09 and its always serious.
Great review Chase! Those Scouts are awesome little bikes. The bobber is my favorite too, I think you'll like it! I love mine. Just be careful and watch out for bumps. The rear suspension is...well...it's there.
@Alaberti lol I wasn't brave enough to ride mine without a comfort seat. You mean it's worse with the stock seat?? Ooofta.😅🤣
The coolness of the side key is your inner cruiser boy calling out to! 😂👍🏼Please do Wrecked Bike Rebuild with an Indian Scout and give it to me please. 😁
dang that's a nice looking bike!... thanks for sharing...stay safe.
I got a '21 indian scout bobber as my first bike. A little over 300miles on it now but I love these bikes. Pretty solid first bikes imo with a nice, steady throttle but will give you power when you ask for it.
I primarily use it for commuting and it's pretty nice on the highway, I range from 55 to 70 mph so far as I'm acclimating myself to the wind since I'm still a newbie. I have yet to scrape any pegs either but it's probably just that I haven't been entering corners aggressively.
Edit: it should be like mine with a digital tachometer. Behind where the turn signal switch is, there's a button that toggles RPM, Trip mileage, actual mileage and voltage.
Omg that blue is PERFECT
Nice video chase, easy enough to find weight elsewhere, but surprised you never mentioned the actual weight. Thanks for an interesting video about an awesome cruiser.
Awesome review! It would be cool to see how it would compare to the street bob
neat to see a good cruiser on the show.
Awesome video. Let's see Chase on a new Scout Rogue or Bobber!
It is indeed gorgeous!
OC: The Indian Scout Bobber is my favourite bike. Maybe one day! Loving your vids, if you're ever come to London in the UK I'd love to ride with you! Ride Safe!
No lie, that thing’s gorgeous
Get that ride on the new scout rouge!
Your cinematics are something out of this world dude
nice vid man :)
Winsome 🤟🏾😁🔥🔥🔥🔥
I have stopped watching since yall ended the adventure series it was amazing but now im back 5 years ago
I love the scout for a bike to bop around town but the Indian Chief DarkHorse bobber is absolutely my perfect cruiser…. The the price of a scout makes it seriously attractive.
Love my scout! Tires suck and it really needs an exhaust, but other than that I thinks it's great. It's the opposite of my 21 mt09 for when I want a more relaxed cruise!
Riding both sport and cruisers, I try to explain to people that both are great and fun, just in different ways. The sport/nakeds are like driving a Ferrari. A cruiser is like driving a powerful sport sedan/coupe. More relaxed but you can still romp on it and take some turns and enjoy yourself.
That’s my dream bike baby!!
Great video. I have been looking to get back on a bike and I am in between the scout and scout bobber. Please do a review soooon
My brother owns the scout and @Chase take a look at the Scout Rogue. It’s blacked out and has a nice fairing. I got the Chief since I wanted something a little bigger. I love Indian amazing look and performance for cruisers
Can't take it anymore, you should ride a lot more bikes, good luck 😉
I think for your next first ride on a cruiser you should try the honda shadow next, a lot of people love those bikes including new riders.
When I was upgrading from my Shadow 600i test rode a few bikes two of them were Victory in the same day, the Octane (a peppier Scout) and my Gunner. The Octane made me grin, but going 100mph without realizing it on the Gunner put a smile on my face that rivaled Heath Ledger's Joker, granted the Octane would've been better for commuting
Damn Chase you were short shifting the hell out of it, those things rev out to like 8k+ lol. Also, Magna. 3rd gen. You HAVE to ride one.
OC: Bet Beau is happy. Seems he is successfully converting Chase over to the cruiser side of bikes. Maybe dual cruiser vlogs in the future? Though I'm not a cruiser guy I do love the Harley Davidson knucklehead.
OC the lightweight sporty cruisers are alot of fun I have a Vulcan S and it can keep up with 750-1000cc cruisers despite being a 650 and it has alot more lean angle so it can out manoeuvre most bigger cruisers all day
You gotta ride a 90's Magna dawg, even more lean angle and an extra 30hp+ from a 750.
@@fastec5 my friend used to own one absolutely bullet proof engines on them too!
I'd like to see a first ride on a 3rd gen Honda Magna 750. Great sporty cruiser
Ive been saying that forever on this channel. My 3rd gen is a beast on curvies after the suspension upgrades. Big bore VFR engine is getting built for it shortly.
the Scouts is HOTTT bike. as a HD fan there's no denying how much bike you get for what you pay for when you get ANY of the Scouts. Ive debated so hard to get one but i have far too many bikes right now LOL
So
I looked at all of the Mountain Motorsports locations and I guess they sold all of there Yamaha raiders. But it would still be super cool if you could do a first ride on one of these. Maybe one day!!!!!
Little 2cents for the question at 16:28. If I’m commuting, i.e work or small errands, tech is nice. If I’m riding for the thrill less overall tech.
I always wanted your opinion on the scout , i have the smae color scout as my first bike
I would like you to do a first ride with the Kawasaki Concours if you can would be cool.
Hey chase, would love to see you ride the 2022 ftr1200. Curious what your opinion on it is
If you want an American made motorcycle try out a Victory.
Also as others have said this bike revs way higher than you were taking it and makes most of its power in the top end unlike regular cruisers.
Kinda wanna see you ride a basic cruiser. Honda Shadow areo. Like to see if the abs version is worth it
Awesome video! Still in the middle of it but wanted to point out: As an owner of a 2018 bobber, you do have RPM digitally displayed in the speedo but you have to cycle to it. You were also short shifting it considerably on the 40 to 80 pull. It's no Harley, it revs out to a touch over 8k. So that pull could have been much more spicy.
As an owner of a scout I was thinking the same. He had at least 3000 rpm left on those shift. That thing wakes up and goes at 4500 rpm.
Thanks for that info. Guess Im just gunna need to ride the bobber version and redo the 40 to 80 pull the correct way this time!
@@chaseontwowheels I hope you do! I'd be super interested to see a scout bobber as one of the build series bikes too! There aren't as many after market choices as harleys so I'd be really interested in what you do to it. Especially since the typical bobber build is already (mostly) done from the factory.
My dream bike
Can you ride the new africa twin adventure sport if you get a chance
I have that same issue with the turn signal switch. Luckily, I normally don’t have to manually cancel them because they are actually self canceling. The self canceling feature doesn’t work quite as well as on a Harley, but it works pretty good. Has a lane change feature as well, you hold the signal switch in your desired direction, and then let go after your lane change, and it turns off.
Also, that bike should have mileage, tachometer, water temp, voltage, trip meter, gear indicator, and clock, the selection switch for it is on the backside of the left hand switch block. Redline is 8,300 rpm, and it produces power all the way to redline.
Coolant temp thats interesting i like that. Thats useful
I love the paint but my favorite Harley’s are the Road King and Softail Deluxe. So somewhat similar style. If you like a sporty cruiser I’d definitely suggest Rebel 1100. It’s definitely budget af in the fit and finish department compared to American bikes. But it will shit all over them in the performance category. I want to get one and turn it into an adv bike kinda like the bike from the game Days Gone.
My wife has a Scout 60 she wanted the bobber also, but we were told you can't get a windshield for the bobber. Because we ride a lot of highway she wanted the windshield. I do get to ride it every now and then, they are really fun to ride, but because I am used to my 18 Yamaha Venture TC (a 960 lb bike), the scout feels like more of a scooter. I still really like it and so does she. She really likes how light it is and how short the seat height is.
you absolutely can get a fairing for the bobber or any version of the scout at that. Memphis shades.
@@crazyphilly555 Yeah, we knew about the Memphis Shades one, I had one on my older Yam. 1300. she liked the open and almost invisible one that Indian offered.
Do a review of the yamaha bolt
Would love to see you 1st ride a rebal 1100 and kawasaki valcan 650 s
I would love to see your first ride of the new Honda rebel 1100
Find a VMax and just make sure you wear an adult diaper. These are awesome, you can access the RPM through the display, seemed like you weren't even halfway up the power band. These things FLY.
Quite possibly the most beautiful bike you've ever done a first ride with 🙌🙌😍😍🍆🍆
I agree!
If you like a sporty cruiser I really recommend you try a Honda Rebel 1100 next. I think it would be perfect for you in this segment. Sporty, yet with a cruiser body position sorta. Hard to explain. Blend of both worlds. :) Not to mention Honda reliability and dependability.
I agree with the feeling of wanting to buy an American made bike 👍
No curvy back roads in that area? Only strip mall roads and highway?
OC: the indian scout bobber is a fantastic motorcycle. If they would upgrade the tech on the bike it would heavily compete with the new sportster S. Also the suspension is wayyyy better than the sporster s.
I'd take an FTR 1200 before I even looked twice at the new Sportster.
@@jordanjoestar8839 I agree that is a way better bike than either of them. But it's also not in the sam category of motorcycle. Kinda 🍎 and 🍊 lol
Kawasaki vulcan 900 custom? Love the look of the Scouts!
i bet youde love the ftr1200 by indian
How's the rear suspension comfort?
Would love to see a First Ride on a Harley Street Rod 750!
Hope you can move handlebars, forward,👍
Would absolutely love to see you do a first ride in the Yamaha bolt now that you're getting more into lightweight cruisers.
OC - Yo... you guys made a bobber. you rode that. How is this one new to you? lol
Please review the Kawasaki Vulcan S
chase is evolving into a cruiser boi
and m sad still love his videos tho
always will
Beutiful bike that is pretty quick. Hate that it gets some of the sportster stigma.
Do a first ride of the Yamaha Stryker!!
Seriously, what’s the obsession with a tach? You don’t ride a cruiser based on instrument readings. You ride a cruiser based on feel and feedback from the bike. She will tell you when to shift if you pay attention. No need to waste your attention looking down at the dials. “Feel the bike”. That’s how you ride a v twin cruiser.
The ride of the Bobber is completely different! The comfort level in my opinion actually sucks on the bobber. I have this exact bike only 2020. This paint scheme is actually the Icon series verses the standard scout. And the Harley IS top heavy compared to the lower center of gravity that Indian has created. Even the cheif being about 150 lbs more seemed less top heavy than the Harley sportster to me. The main reason I chose the Indian over the Harley even though it broke my husband's heart a little when I did! Lol I couldn't love this bike more!
I had a 21 bobber till i got hit by a jeep. Only dislike was the lack of a fuel gauge
Hey man do a 2012 Honda ST1300 Sport/Tour
OC - When I was first getting into riding, the Scout Bobber was what I wanted. Nothing else. When I finally got to sit on one, I was super disappointed. Being 6'2'' tall with a 36'' inseam, the motorcycle just felt too small. My knees literally hit the handlebars when the bars were turned, and just sitting on it felt like sitting on a motorcycle-shaped lawn chair, so I had to look elsewhere. Especially since riding to get anywhere in Phoenix is essentially touring. And I looked like a circus bear riding a mini bike. That Scout Bobber though... guess that's why I went for the Dyna Fat Bob. Circus bear is still there though... lol. Just not as pronounced.
Try out the Chief Bobber 116ci. Masterpiece of a machine, good for somebody like me (6' 3")
@@jordanjoestar8839 Yeah, I want to try one out. They weren't a thing when I started though. I want an older Chief Darkhorse, or a Vintage Darkhorse.
Coming from someone who’s an Indian fan, a C2W fan, and a crusier fan; needless to say I loved the video! So glad you’ve started to review crusier, and I hope to see more!
Chase my man. You gotta work on your health. We are watching your accelerated decline with every video. I wish you the best.
I appreciate the comment sir. I can tell ya my health is something I think about all the time, we just all have things that we have to work on. It's something I've struggled with my entire life but I'll get it back in check here when I can. Trying to not stress over a time when I'm a bit heavier than I used to be though.
Has he ever reviewed a Honda magna ?
Nope. I've been wanting it for awhile too.
Try out a sportster
OC: 🇦🇺 Australia doesn't make a bike but my grandparents are german and I do kinda want a bmw one day.
Indian scout bobber soon please and thank you
There is a lot to like about these, however, a 15 minute ride can be deceiving. The seating position and lack of suspension travel will become extremely uncomfortable 45 minutes to an hour into a ride for a lot of people. And it is too low for mid controls unless the rider is very short. I had one for a year and got rid of it. Otherwise, the Scout is a blast.
i just ordered a 22 scout bobber, what a coincidence. how the hell did i spell that on the first try?
That red white and blue just reminds me too much of a police vehicle like those police vehicles they have to keep standardized but still try to find ways to make it look cool but you can still tell it’s the government’s property….. all black or a flat gray or any solid color darn near would look better imo….. but to each their own. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
You need to get on a road king and see the other side of the spectrum
2019+ S1000RR BMW please 🙏
OC: as a colombian, i dont think i can get me a Colombian made bike.
next first ride: Honda X-ADV
OC
Takes a whole 3 minutes and 31 seconds to even start reviewing the bike.... 3:31 minutes of absolute waffle...and it didn't get any better - Appalling waste of time!!!!
It’s funny how a 1200cc is “little guy” to these guys, whats a big boy bike?
