Hey Yammie, I think there’s a scammer using your logo in the comments trying to get everyone to call them.. every comment I’ve seen is getting a reply either saying thanks for watching let’s talk or something about put on a short list for prizes… just want to make sure you’re aware…
Do the scout rogue please. Thanks
I’ll save you some time. Hi, I’m yammie. Only sport bikes are good but the Bobber is kinda ok if your old. Now I’m going to talk until UA-cam pays me.
...and I'm gonna spend 40hrs a week deleting negative comments off my channel after I dumped my best employee because I spend too much time behind a computer 🤣☯️
I rode a busa many years and love sport bikes but I think this bike is great. Don't have to be old man. What's that crap?
@@michaelderenne9838 naw man, what I’m saying is if you watch yammie’s videos they are all the same. After a year of watching his videos I feel his opinion is only track ready sport bikes are good and any other bike is for when you are ready to retire. After that he pushes his affiliates and products until the end of the video. I don’t even watch his videos anymore. Spite’s Corner is the motorcycle content for me.
I'm thinking you might still be wearing Pull-Ups with a comment like that. You haven't graduated yet buddy
Lots of channels are geared towards cruisers or just sport bikes. Yammies likes sport bikes. So what, go find a cruiser channel then. BTW I prefer cruisers, I actually think most sport bikes are ugly as hell but I still like this channel. I'm not a snowflake
COVID lockdowns hit and I ran out to buy my first motorcycle at 30 years old. I test drove nearly every motorcycle I could get my hands on after getting my license and fell in love with the Indian Scout Bobber. I got the matte black 1133cc ABS variant, immediately slapped a performance air intake and radical radius pipes on her with the floating saddle seat and have been ripping up the city ever since. It's about 111 hp, loud af, and I often get people pulling up next to me hanging out their window yelling at me how sexy my bike is. Basically it's a stool with handles mounted to a rocketship. I've been extremely satisfied with my motorcycling experience so far, and look forward to building a collection.
I just got a used scout bobber. Also matte black and also with radical radius pipes. That bike is a beast. I need to either get my shocks adjusted or just upgrade my suspension
I just get a kick out of your comment.
I have owned a Scout Bobber for 2 years. Dedicated my own channel to it. Obviously I'm biased, but it is a fantastic bike, and I can appreciate your perspective on their history as a company. I have spent a few thousand in upgrades making it scream "me", but even from the factory it has a lot to offer.
I follow your channel, love your color scheme! Sweet bike!
@@Mayjay87 thank you so much!
Just saw this comment and your channel sounds interesting. I'm going over right now just to subscribe
@@dixee6498 thanks for checking it out!
I am planning to buy one, I am glad to read what you wrote.
Rode a Honda Rebel 500 for about a year. Then I upgraded to a Scout Bobber. I liked the Rebel. There is nothing wrong with the bike, it’s solid. Reliable. But there is something about the Scout that makes me excited. It’s the looks. It’s the way it feels planted to the road and make me enjoy cornering and acceleration. The bobber is a bike I love. You can’t measure that. But I’d recommend looking for that kind of emotional connection. Because let’s face it: for most of us the motorcycle isn’t purely a means for transportation. It’s very much a toy too. So get the one you actually love.
i couldn't have said it better myself
I started riding with the Indian Scout bobber. I love everything about it except the seat 😂. When I first saw the bike, it was love at first sight! To me, it looked like a classic old bike with a modern touch, just slap on some white walls and you got yourself a sweeeeet looking iron steed. I already have 10k miles on it, I can’t get enough of it 👍🏼 definitely worth 15k walkout price
I bought a matte green scout bobber20 two years ago and I’ve loved every minute of it. My last bike was a 1984 HD Iron head…I can’t even begin to portray a comparison because they are two different machines, but I definitely enjoy riding my Indian much more. Thanks for the video I enjoyed it. 👍
I bought a 2021 Scout Bobber in April and couldn't be happier. Ive put over 7000 miles on it this summer with many hours in the saddle. I'd say the only must is to get a more comfortable seat and it badly needs better rear suspension. Everything else just remember the style of bike you're riding
🤘🏼
Shocked that he didn’t compare the scout bobber to the triumph bobber. A worthy competitor that I think gets overlooked.
Because his content is crap and not well researched
That seems like closest real comp to me and was hoping for it.
My first bike was a 18 scout it was a beautiful mean light weight missile it’s a great bike and light enough to screw up and put a foot down even at 10 mph in the rain and still save the bike it’s a damn great bike and I only got a chief to have bags It’s only thing I want to ride but I need to carry crap here n there when I’m doing day trips
2019 Bobber was my first bike... Some people said it's too powerful for a newbie but I actually think I could use just a little more power. I might use a programmer and upgrade the intake. But yes, it is a great ride and with my Vance and Hines exhaust, it just sounds so sweet. Get a lot of people stopping to check it out and ask about it too.
My first bike was a 1972 Norton Commando 750cc when I got out of the army in 1974. So I say go for it and have fun!
I have a Bobber 60. It's my first bike. Been a joy to ride. I feel like it is a really good platform to start on since everything on it so solid and the ride height makes it very easy to flatfoot. It also doesn't have a bunch of annoying tech to mess around with. Start it and ride.
Thanks for the video. Have been riding my 2021 Scout Bobber for about a year now (came over from the old school Nighthawk 750, then the Honda Shadow) and it’s a fantastic bike. It’s my daily commute bike and weekend rides. I’m 6’2 and am perfectly comfortable on the bike. Only upgrades I added where the headlight and passenger seat. Removed the first baffle on each pipe to improve the sound. The bike definitely turns heads, rides great, looks great and since I try to avoid potholes and large burns, the suspension hasn’t been an issue for me.
IMO it’s the best looking and riding bike you can buy today for under 14k brand new. The attention to detail is excellent also with the branding. Only ‘upgrade’ I’d like to see become available, is the same ride command gauge as the Chief’s have.
I love my Scout Bobber - it's just a fun ride, nimble with power for days and feels planted on the road. I have the Bobber 20, so it came with 10" mini ape hangers and spoke wheels. It's gorgeous from the dealership, but it's ultimately a jumping off point where you can customize it any way you want, and the aftermarket is wide open. At this time in my life, the bobber is a perfect bike for me, so much so that I'm not even interested in looking around. I predict I'll be riding my bobber for years to come.
I have a 2022 Scout bobber and I love it! Upgraded a few things including exhaust it looks and sounds awesome. Not the most comfortable bike and unforgiving on bumps with the slammed suspension but it's a fun and fast little cruiser
I got rid of my 2020 HD and bought a 2022 Scout Bobber in March. I absolutely love it. Like others, I changed the seat and exhaust. I drive from Dallas to Waco a few times a month on it. SOOOO much better than my HD.
🙌🏼🙌🏼
what Harley did you have, I'm tryna decide weather to get a Harley or a Indian
@@thewanderingcoin don't drink the Kool aid. Get an Indian. Although I'm biased
gotta say i love seeing a bike that i own being reviewed between the scout the ninja 650 and my grom its always great to watch yam show some love to bikes the average person can afford lol
As a former hockey player and guitarist (no anchor tattoo though) I feel personally attacked 🤣 That being said, I fell in love with the Indian Scout Bobber the first time I saw one. When Indian released the Rogue I decided the Rogue was more practical for my riding needs than the Bobber. After owning a black smoke Rogue for almost two months with an upgraded seat and exhaust I have ZERO regrets owning this bike. Power, comfort, ergonomics, looks, sound, this bike has it all!
My Scout Bobber 20 is my first “big boy” bike and I love it. The taller handle bars on the 20 might not look as cool but at 5 foot 9 I find it really comfortable. After tweaking the suspension for my weight it handles bumps fairly well. It’s approachable enough that with my limited experience I wasn’t too intimidated but it has enough get up and go that my more experienced friends have enjoyed riding it
This is a perfect review for me. Im 5'9 about 225 lbs. So letting me know you're still comfortable while riding is a huge plus!
Ah I’ve been waiting for my favorite cruiser of all time to be reviewed. Scout Bobber is an awesome motorcycle and I wish more cruisers followed suit, in terms of power, looks, handling, price etc. Even a used Victory Octane is one hell of a bike, which is what the Bobber is based off of.
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Personally for me I love the looks of the Scout Bobber but when I sat on it there were some things I wanted to change. The handle bars were to low and seat not the best. I sat on the Scout Rogue and WOW. Ordered the Scout Rogue 60 and love it. 😀Plenty of accessories available from Indian and aftermarket. Lots of enjoyment riding it. Great video by the way. 👍👍
I have a 2018 scout bobber and it’s awesome. Harsh ride until I swapped the suspension with legend front and rear and it’s sooo much better. However with the compromised riding position and my arms being on the shorter size the reach is pretty dramatic, and my bum goes numb relatively quickly. It’s so much fun and a basic yet visceral, and beautiful.
🙌🏼🙌🏼
I'm a "been ridin' 30 years" squid. After a test ride I bought a brand new scout in 2019. I sat on a scout bobber and I don't know why anyone would choose it over the original scout other than for looks. The big fenders (when you get caught in the rain) and extra inch of rear suspension travel make the Scout a much better choice as a daily driver. 30,000 hard miles on mine, and not a single mechanical issue. BTW programmer/intake/pipes really wake theese engines up. Just my $.02 on the scout.
Unsubscribe to this guy, go look at the last Video before this one
Not everyone is a boomer that needs to be drowned out in chrome.
I’m a “been riding one year” squid and I 100% agree. I love my 2019 Scout, got it after I outgrew my starter bike. Considered a Rebel 1100 but I sat on one and didn’t love it. Also sat on a bobber and wondered why other than the look.
@@tinman3586 funny how he didn't mention chrome at all. Actually said the bobber looks better. Said the scout was more practical.
@@jd-xj3ew I've been swapping the chrome and cheap cast steel parts for flat black and raw billet.
The Scout seems like a perfect 2nd bike. Not great for distance, but would be a blast ripping around town.
Bought a 2022 bobber for my first bike with zero experience and am in love with it
@@Scootertin as your first bike how has the engine size/power been treating ya? Is it too much for a new guy or very user friendly?
do a video on backfiring, like how your decision to cut your copilot backfired 🤣
Nice friendship windmill
So where does the Triumph Bobber fit in?
Bought a 22 Scout Bobber Sixty as my first bike. 3 Months owning it so far and really enjoy it.
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Bought me a brand new 2022 scout bobber twenty on June 24th and wrecked it aug 1st lolol.
Super easy to work on, swapped out the stock pipes for a fp combat 2in1, went to a new seat style, added the Indian performance air intake, threw on a map, swapped out the swingarm for a 300mm setup and I absolutely love this bike!
@Cheezit What 300 did you go with (got a link)? It's my wish list.
Literally just bought one Thursday. I'm in love. Coming from a Suzuki Boulevard C50T, it's an amazingly fun bike to ride. I also sat on a brand new Scout Bobber Rebel, and it was way more comfy with it's mini apes, and solo comfort+ seat. But I didn't get this bike for comfort.
I bought a sage brush ‘23 scout bobber back in January ‘23 first bike, learned to ride on it too, my opinion on it is; it’s a great bike, all I’ve done to it so far is flip the mirrors and add some GP shorties and some white walls on it and I get compliments all the time, plus the ride is great. I’m 5’8” 220 and I think it’s a good fit. The one thing you hit the mail on the head with is how it scrapes the pegs on turns. It’s happened plenty of times and it makes it hard to give it that lean I need for a turn, but over all the bike has the power when you need it or the subtlety when you don’t. I love it overall
I have been wanting a scout ever since I saw Polaris debut it back in 2015. So in 2021, as an early bday present to myself, I got a scout bobber in burnt orange. I love the hell out of this thing. I do not regret buying it. For anyone looking to get one, I recommend swapping out the seat or getting a seat cover. The seat is not made for long rides. Everything else is up to your preference
2021 Scout Bobber ABS, still stock other than a medium wind screen. You, and others, are correct, the rear suspension is unpleasant and perhaps too hard to be safe. Doesn't take much, a depressed manhole cover, and it can bounce a rider off the seat. Working on what to swap in, otherwise delighted. Wasn't expecting all admirers who stop to look and comment.
Love my new scout bobber.
The only thing I’m looking to do with it right away is put on some 10 inch mini apes. It completely changes the seating position and makes it perfect in terms of confront. It does ok with the stock handlebars but I’ve sat on one w/ mini apes and wow! It’s so comfortable.
Go Rogue!! It's the Indian Scout Bobber plus fully blacked out engine / pipes, Syndicate Seat, 19" performance front wheel, 10" Blacked Out Mini Apes, and the Quarter Fairing keeps you from being blown off the handlebars in the triple digits.
Let's go, Yam: Indian Bobber vs Triumph Bobber. Make it happen.
Would love to do it!
Good luck with that with one host
@@yammienoob get some help
I ordered a Rebel 1100 several months ago, still waiting, latest update that it may come in the end of November. Was going to buy a scout, but really want the Rebel. Yammie, do you have any insight into the supply issues and why Honda put a freeze on new orders on the Rebel and several other models?
Have a 2020 scout bobber twenty (variant with wire wheels, tractor seat, mini apes) and it is a great bike. Mods and build have been documented on my youtube channel. I've had zero problems with 2 years of ownership and many miles and smiles.
Bought my ISB in 2019 and haven't looked back. So much fun to ride. I start to suffer withdrawals if I go too long without a blatt around the local streets. Would be great if there were more parts and mods available, but like yammie said it's a great bike out of the box.
I've been really waiting for you guys to make a video about the Scout Bobber. I've been riding the bike since February 2022 and couldn't be happier. Of course, some changes had to be made: footrests, exhaust, cosmetics. All in all this is a wonderful bike, very beautiful and powerful. I don't want to give her away anymore.
I just rode an Indian Scout, and it was a fun experience. I can see riding it for miles.
I bought my scout bobber last year and it was my dream bike. Problem was the seat was awful. Recently got into an accident with it and just finally got it back, but I’m a little anxious to ride it again for fear of someone hitting me again
Got the Scout Rogue and couldnt be happier with it. Its everything in a cruiser I have ever wanted. And its engine is crazy sporty and quick. Not your average cruiser
I got a storm blue Indian Scout Rogue last month! I love it! (It’s my first bike).
It's a BOBBER, don't expect it to be the "ultimate" crusier. I own one and love it and use it for what it's meant for, inner city streets, short crusie.
I have a 21 Bobber with 10K miles on it and its been nothing but a dream. FYI, change the OEM seat ASAP if you get one.
Got my ISB, in matte black of course lol, about 3 weeks ago and I love it. It's a bike I always wanted and I honestly have no real complaints. I'm 5'6" with hobbit legs and its a great fit. I already changed out the exhaust to the Freedom Performance 2-1 Combat and it does the engine justice. The stock exhaust didn't do it at all. I've done other minor changes, but my main concern was the exhaust. Eventually I'll change the shocks out since the stock ones can really do a number on the ol' coccyx 😅.
I've been surrounded by Indian motorcycles,
at work over the last two years.
I grew up in a Harley family,
& Personally
I look forward to having a bobber scout and a Chieftain.
Seeing Indian motorcycles versus Harleys in the shop,
Indiana are there for regularly scheduled maintenance,
Harleys are in because they rattled loose then pissed oil out til they nearly fried.
Not an opinion just an observation
I've got to be honest : I do love the look and the power of the Indian scout. That's all I have to say.
I beg to differ. I think the new Harley Sportster S is the bike Harley built to compete. It’s slightly more powerful then the scout and has a more modern speedo.
I’ve had an Indian scout since 2017 and I still love it. I don’t think I’ll ever sell it. The engine is bullet proof. Polaris did a great job with the Indian brand. They appealed to the younger generation that knows Harley as “an old man’s bike.”
Had a Honda 500 for a year. Now have a 21 Scout 60, not the bobber version. I love it and has plenty of power for my needs and is still fun to ride in some twisty areas. Seem to have quite a bit of aftermarket support, although not as much as Harley, but still plenty of options to choose from. I do seem to get a bit of a snub at bike night so there is that...
Bought my first bike couple months ago (street twin 900 22). My next bike will probably be a Harley 48 or a scout bobber. Just love that low profile cruiser style bike.
Thanks for the video Yammie- I thought you presented a pretty good summary for the bike. I ride a variation of the scout; rogue 60. Kinda the little brother of the reg scout at a 2500 discount in cost. After riding it near daily and adjusting it to fit my 6’3 frame, it works. It’s not without a few flaws, mostly small personal preferences but so be it. I think they are excellent bikes for newbs or intermediate riders looking to “sport cruise”
Once you tame the smaller 60, a tune and some aftermarket upgrades make it a long lasting enjoyable bike- with a v-twin cruiser, grabbing some torque and revs and HP can be very noticeable with a tune. Overall I love it as a daily bike but would like a dual sport down the road too. My wife is about to become a ninja so we will look awesome and unexpectedly different cruising together down the road-
I had a bobber for a year. Great bike but Im 6 ft tall and it made me bits go numb >< so I upgraded to an FTR. Funnest bike I’ve ever ridden!
I recently bought one this past weekend and I’ll be honest is my first motorcycle is 2022 and I am in love with that bike and I got options for other bikes but the style the sound is worth every penny mine also came with the stage 1 exhaust and it sounds great by the way thanks for the info💪💪
Bro, please. The people need you to do a video on 2022 triumph bonneville bobber. Even if u can compare it to the scout bobber.
Why do you need to hear this guy read the wiki of a bike he's never seen in person?
That explanation at the beginning of the spot is spot on about me. Ride a Hayabusa many years and ready for something a bit more docile
You got me in the first 15 seconds. Sold my ninja. Done flying around in that death trap I’ve had my fun. Bought one of these 😂
I bought my Indian scout bobber probably two months ago it is my first motorcycle I have ever owned and I am in love with it
Love my bobber! I’m 6’3” and it takes some part swapping but it always gets compliments ever time I ride…..don’t think the rebel would….
I have the Scout Rogue. Feels great and have added lots of accessories already. Still in the break in period.
Welcome to The Tribe, Brother. And... Semper Fi, Mac.
Love my 2020 Scout Bobber. Switched out the horrific stock seat for a Corbin, went with the V&H slashcuts for exhaust, and upgraded the rear shocks with the Super Shox that are designed exclusively for the ISB. All that made it a much better bike, but it’s still not an ideal long distance bike, but that’s not what it’s designed for. It’s amazing for tearing around town and short hopping to the beach. Definitely what I was looking for.
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Did the Super Shox change the seat height at all? A lot of the vids I've seen and owners I've talked to said the height increased a bit after they switched out their shocks
@@jamesmin1239 If they increased the seat height, it was so little I did not notice. If you call Super Shox they’ll actually walk you thru everything and recommend just what you’ll need. I was very pleased with the service and the product transformed the bike.
Had a 22 bobber for about a year had a pv3 on it as well as Reinhart slip ons was a fun bike but traded it in for an ftr as it was too low and found myself struggling with bumps and corners awesome bike though miss it tons
Im not one to knock anyones choice in rides. I have a 2020 bobber 20 abs. Intake,exhaust and tune among some other mods. Having ridden my friends Harley on occasion before my Scout I found it to be a better fit and feel for me. And for its size, weight, power and price point you get alot of bang for your buck. As for comfort if you change the pegs out you can get more comfort and better lean angle.
Wife works for Indian, alot of people comes test ride the Indians and lo and behold, used Harleys for everyone.
Man forgot about the Bonneville Bobber
The demo truck is in my town this weekend, definitely going to test ride their lineup!!
Got the Scout Bobber Sixty as my first bike. Love it.
I'd like an Indian Scout (non bobber jobber). They just seem cool and Indian has a good reputation overall.
I've had My 2021 Indian Scout Bobber in White Smoke for over a year ,Love it 💟
I thought I really wanted a scout until I sat on a chief and scout side by side at Americade. At 6’2” the scout felt a little too cramped for me
I was about to purchase a Scout. I was trying to decide between the base Scout and the Bobber. Then the Chief came out and my dealership had ONE on the floor. Boom! Sold!
I got a scout bobber a few months ago as my first bike. Best decision I’ve ever made. It’s pretty quick, sounds amazing with V&H slashcuts, and is insanely fun to ride. Of course, I’ll have to change the seat soon since it’s kinda shit
Have a Scout Rogue on order. Did it despite the poor reviews on suspension, but as everybody knows, looks first!
🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@RickyBobber thank you, channels like you and Dad With A Bike (RIP) influenced my decision as well as thought process on mods.
Forgot to mention the Truimph Bobber
I hope this is a pro video since i bought one in august lol I love it. Other than the tailbone destruction with the suspension its great….I got the white smoke Yammie lol
Triumph Bobber…..the only real comparison to the Indian….
I liked the Rebel 1100 - except the twitchy throttle, that was really frustrating. Did you have the same experience ?
Bought my Scout bobber new in 2019. Had a few issues with the actual bike but my biggest problems have been with the dealership. Looking to trade into the ADV bike category next season
I have one and I feel like I'm riding on luxury. It's exactly what I wanted in a motorcycle
the scout has got to be about the lowest reving ice I've ever seen. 83 rpm is really something
Wigwam
I've owned a scout bobber for a year, granted, I've never owned a bike besides dirtbikes growing up, but fuck. It's the most fun I've ever had on the road, it's slick black, sexy as hell, and fast. Had to switch out the exhaust with Vance and Hines Twin Slash to make it purr like Cerberus, bike is out of a Norse mythology in terms of awesome. I've had other bikers compliment my bike constantly out of absolute envy and regret. Basic bike looks like something that would fly out of a burning vortex from hell to rock the earth with METAL.
The Indian Scout Rogue has been absolutely gorgeous!
A spring tractor seat on the scout bobber makes the ride suck less if you’re taller
Indian Scout is a good bike but a little uncomfortable after an hour of riding. Please look at the Challenger/Pursuit would love to hear your thoughts!
Oh bury me not on the lone prairie.
Best purchase I made was the scout bobber. Not a fan of Harley and what they making now. People will hate on Indian being built by Polaris but it’s made in the US still and is high quality.
After fighting back and forth with the factory over warranty covered electrical issues that kept shutting off the engine of my 2017 Scout without warning, and kicking up a "Coils Open" OBD code. I trailered it to the regional distributer and traded it in on a Spyder. Hopefully, they have rectified the issues, but I don't trust Indian anymore. Especially after the way St. Cloud treated me.
Bonneville bobber would be a great comparison
Can’t wait for the day I’ll get Indian scout bobber as my first bike
Rode my dad's 2020 Scout bobber. Felt super comfy but slow. Not the pull I like from my MT10. Nice bike though
Most bikes will feel slow compared to an mt10 with that beautiful mean crossplane engine on the naked platform…. It would be hard to find the same amount of pull on a cruiser style bike unless you maybe looked at something like the Yamaha VMax…. But then again the scout has 100hp verses the vmax roughly 200hp
Thanks for the brief history 😆
They rip, trust. Swap the seat swap the shocks and it’s surprisingly nimble and quick. Edit: Throw a loud pipe on there so your neighbors can enjoy too.
Definitely need to change the seat on mine lol, what kind of shocks should i go with?
@@redditution9909 So I installed the Fox adjustable ones, they are easy to set for rider weight. Even though the front forks still need a swap, the difference is very noticeable. Also, I grabbed the Mustang seat
So just buy an octane
@@mortalterrorRE i'm thinking about getting the syndicate step up seat, do the fox shocks raise the rear a lot?
How do I do this? Looking into getting one as my first bike 🚴🏽
I’ve got the Indian scout,I absolutely love it.
must be really fun to have such a cool bike i wish i had one of those feel lucky for having one
Yammie, guess what....I sold my sport bike to get a Harley. Best decision ever. I love everything about cruisers, looks, power delivery and comfort. ..Sport/ Supersport bike are for your kids who doesn't respect life, after a really close call while speeding over 100 mph in the city I decided that was not for me.
Think it'd be intresting to see a comparison video between scout bobber and the triumph bobber since they both are aimed at the same idea
I'm more of a sport bike guy but I wouldn't mind giving this bike a test ride.
Was wondering if you thought winglets would help on a z900?
As a bobber owner, I’m honestly surprised you didn’t touch on the seating quality, and I don’t mean that necessarily in a good way. Sure, stock seats in general on most bikes aren’t really anything to write home about, but combined with the bobbers already low shocks, you feel every literally every bump, and that’s not a great feeling for cruising. If you’re in the market for a bobber, I’d definitely recommend looking into getting a much comfier seat as soon as possible, your lower back will thank you. Signed a 27 year old squid 😅
As a rider of a 1989 HD Softail test riding a new Fat Bob made me feel like a starship captain. The Scout would be like a dream. That's why I will never ride one.
Traded my Rebel 1100 for the Scout Rogue, love it

You forgot a letter…. “S”. It’s not just “too low” but its really “too S-low”
love the rebel 1100
Agreed, I own a 2021 rebel 1100, and it's an awesome bike for the price. I think the Scouts and HD Nightster look better appearance wise, but the Rebel is hard to beat for what you're getting.
