I bought a Rogue and added the piggy back shocks and it improves the ride measurably. I'd only recommend this set up. Handling and power is great, very comfortable for cruising. Love the simplicity of the Scout. You are correct, with options on the Scout, they are closer in price than one might think.
Hell yea, We are about the same size. I thought the tractor seat would do fantastic with the shocks in the back on the rogue. But with Scout bobbers lower bars. Not only would the look be different, but it would be much more comfortable with our longer legs and arms. Glad Im not the only one that seems interested in this.
I currently own both a 23' rogue and 22' chief dark horse. Great review. I only disagree with the handling comment. The Rogues' handling is so much easier and forgiving versus the Chief with the mini apes in my opinion. The Chief is quite clunky when shifting gears comparatively but the 116 is certainly a torque beast. If you are 6'0 or below, go with the Rogue. If you don't care about the touchscreen, go with the Rogue. The touch screen is cool, but after awhile, you just don't use it as much as you would think. If you want the fuel gauge, go with the Chief. I am currently selling my 2022 Chief Dark Horse with 2500 miles. I added the 6 inch risers and Memphis Shades to "Sport" it out. Fantastic Bike, but, I decided the Scout Rogue was more fun to ride and ergonomically better for my back with the mini apes. Of course, you can opt for the Chief Bobber and get it all!!!! Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
Did you ever get a chance to ride the Scout with the raised floating seat (which came on the 2020 Twenty)? If so, how does that seating position compare to the stock Rogue?
Thanks for the intelligent “every man”review of the 2 bikes. I tried out a chief 111 and it is comfortable, I’m 6’3 but based on price ($16k) here in California and what type of riding I enjoy, I tried a scout bobber, and actually enjoyed the rogue. I hopped on a rogue 60 and found the power, seating position and controls to be right, for me at least. Additionally I enjoy countryside cruising and it has more than enough power, surprisingly for really fun riding. I have upgraded some parts, exhaust and intake and am still less expensive than the regular rogue scout at $14k. I got mine for $12,300 and added $1000 in parts and estimated horsepower is at 90 now, torque is up to reg scout as well. Concerning the 5speed versus 6 speed, well the final gear ratio is identical- think of the 60 as not having a 5th gear but a 1,2,3,4,6- in the end it’s about the individual and what you want it for, cash flow of course- I think Indian makes great bikes to lightly customize, heavily is need, or not at all for a few extra bucks from the factory- Good luck and I hope you get your Chief soon-
Thanks Jason! Motorbikes really are a personal and individually specific thing as you've again highlighted. What doesn't work for may very well work for you and vice versa. I might have to make a video on that. We don't get the 60 range in Australia only the 1133cc models but I have seen the 6th gear and 5th gears are equal in both models. The 5 speed wouldn't worry me at all if the top gear final drive ratios are the same. Good move to save yourself a few dollars and sounds like you've got the HP up to a more than satisfactory range too, well done! I've been taking a good look at the Scout range and I've tended to skip over the Scout Bobber believing the Rogue and Twenty would be a better fit for someone my height 6'1" but I spent a fair bit of time sitting on the Scout Bobber in the dealership last week and I really really like it. No demo available unfortunately but I like it as much as the Chief Dark Horse, actually maybe even a little more. If the Chief order drags on I could easily see myself switching to the Scout Bobber. Another bike I've tended to dismiss is the base Scout. But after looking at it's dimensions it should be the most comfortable for taller riders of all the Scout range. They do have a demo Scout here, might try and test ride it this week.
@@BikesILike Scout bobber is a fantastic bike. You can add the flat saddle and get the controls forward with an adapter from Indian. I recommend an exhaust and tune for a little more grunt. I wanted a Stryker red, but none were in stock and metallic black wasn’t my 1st choice until I put it in the sun, it’s gorgeous. People stop and look at these bikes because they are just beautiful, the premium is their appearance and frankly Harley is the only company that can match the artistic flow of the metal with bits of modern - I think, especially with bobber, it’s classic and modern at the same time.
In the U.K. we have had the wetter March and April for 40 years. Our roads are completely destroyed due to water and cold weather lifting up asphalt. Still waiting for the weather to improve . Sunshine is just a dream at the moment. All this being said, the bobber looks super nice. The rogue , as you said, needs quite a few adjustments to be ride ready. I’ve never ridden this style of bike. But the bobber looks absolutely stunning to me.
We get the same deal in Ballarat. If we get a lot of rain in winter, rim busting potholes appear everywhere. I could buy that red Scout Bobber Twenty on that picture alone. 😁
The Sportster S and Pan America hit a sweet spot in the market for performance/price comparisons with other manufacturers with similar features. Euro bikes are almost dollar for dollar for features and performance. Japanese bikes are about 10% cheaper. Indian hit the mark with the scout in 2015 but never upgraded the heart of it, leaving it falling behind. They did great with the Challenger in 2019. The entire lineup modernised in 2020 except for the Scout, weird choice.
I actually passed on the Scout and the Chief for the Sportster S two days after the announcement and 6 months before the first one landed in Australia (COVID happened). I thought the Scout was too long due for an update (like you said, LED's and something more than ABS with its 2015 design- even HD pulled the Nightster standard and replaced it with the "S" after 9 months). The Chief for me came down to the engine and the models available in 2021. At the time, I thought the Rebel 1100 beat Indian on most of the tech for 6k less than the Chief (and still shits on the HD Nightster S). Then they announced the Sportster S from HD. I had been looking for 18 months for the right bike. I think the Chief is a great choice. I love the look of the Scout but it is way off the market value.
I was contemplating a Scout as my first bike, but decided on something else (Suzuki M90). Once I was looking to upgrade, I started looking at the Chief because of all the "extras", but ultimately decided on a Springfield Dark Horse (profile pic). Love the Indian brand. Love what they are doing to create competition in the community.
That's a question I can't answer personally. I haven't noticed engine heat from either the Chief or the Scout on my test rides but I haven't ridden them on really hot days. Being taller my legs are also further away from the engine when I'm at a feet down position so that's also something to consider. If you're shorter, your legs will be closer to the engine when in the feet down position.
@@BikesILike true, I’m 5’10 but I’m hoping the rear cylinder shut off will help with that. Just concerned about preignition and other heat related issues.
Yeah body proportions do make a big difference Mark, I can see how that would be the case. Being taller and wider I find narrower seats don't offer the support I need.
None here yet. Patiently waiting for them to arrive in the country but it doesn't seem to be a priority for Indian. I think they're ensuring the American market has all it needs first. A Sport Chief is a possibility for me. :)
Hi Paul, thank you for your informative videos first of all. You've mentioned you are 6'1" tall but not what your inseam is. I'm 6'3" with a 35" inseam and currently riding a Versys 650 while trying to find a nice bobber/cruiser. Wondering if the Scout Bobber would be a good fit. (no dealers nearby so it's not easy for me to go to a 'local' dealer to sit on a few models.
Thanks SJF and you're right! I should've mentioned that. My inside leg (from ground to groin with my riding boots on) is 34" (87 cm). Here's my Do I Fit video of the Scout Bobber Twenty. ua-cam.com/video/x7h_7uB01Ig/v-deo.html You'll see a 6'4" rider in that video seated on the bike with similar proportions to you. I mistakenly used the term inseam in my earlier videos but it's actually the inside leg measurement. Inseam is measured from your ankle to groin for trousers etc.
@@BikesILike No need to apologize! Thank you for answering my question. WIth riding boots on It's 35" for me, so I hate to say it but it looks like the Bobber 20 is too small for me. * sad face *
Thanks John! Yes! I feel myself getting stronger day by day. Currently researching vitamins, minerals and foods to try and stop or at least greatly reduce the calcium build up in my arteries. That's my challenge now. Once I run my findings past my cardiologist next month I'll make a video on my long term health plan. ;)
@@BikesILike Sounds like a great plan! I have been doing health research for myself as well. And preparing for the motorcycle riding season here in New York!
I test rode the rogue last year and didn't pull the trigger because of the out of date tech compared to the chief and the new HD Sportster S. The price gap is too small for the missing tech of the scouts/rogue. Will wait until they update the bike to the current market conditions/expectations. I will replace my ducati xdiavel when that time comes...
No but I did have a good sit on one recently at the dealership and I really liked the riding position. They don't have a demo Scout Bobber unfortunately, I really want to ride one!
At 5'7" I reckon you're going to be pretty comfortable on all of the Scout range. The question is, what sort of riding do you like to do? Are you looking for a more sporting feel or a more cruisey feel... or something in between?
@@rjh2772 If you're looking for a nice relaxed, comfortable cruising experience I'd recommend the Scout. Watch my Scout test ride video to see how that went. ua-cam.com/video/W5mWtOF63eY/v-deo.html
I think the only other consideration is aesthetics, for me the Chief is a beautiful looking bike. If I wasn’t out riding it, I’d be admiring it with a smile from ear to ear😁.
Great review Paul. Just curious if you have done a review of the Triumph Speedmaster? It may not be in the same category in terms of torque and power but it certainly has a great build quality and some extra tech despite its classic looks. Cheers, Paul
Thanks Paul! I have not yet had the opportunity but I would love to test ride the Speedmaster. It's just not a possibility where I live as the local dealer doesn't keep demo bikes. Who knows, if I'd been able to test ride one, my deposit might be sitting on a Speedmaster right now. ;)
The Chief Dark Horse bikes do have the Ride Command feature which is cool but beyond that they don't really do anything better than a Low Rider S. For the smaller, lighter bike segment it's the other way around. The Scout is roughly equivalent to the Nightster. The preformance on the two bikes (which I've ridden both) is very close, almost identical. But the unique styling and more comfortable riding position on the Scout Rogue made me choose that bike. I wanted to test ride the Sporster S but was unable to. However the Indian FTR is similar to Harley's Sporster S but it actually edges out the Sportster S on preformance with more horsepower and a better lean angle.
Where the Scout Bobber has alloy wheels with higher profile tyres, the Scout Bobber Twenty has spoked wheels with higher profile tyres. The Scout Bobber also has mini apes instead of the Scout Bobber's lower handlebars and the Scout Bobber Twenty also originally came with the 1920 seat but has now switched to the same seat of the Scout Bobber. The Rogue has the same mini apes of the Twenty but has a different seat to both the Scout Bobber and Scout Bobber Twenty. The Rogue also has a larger front wheel at 19" with a lower profile tyre and a front fairing and screen. The base model Scout differs from the other models with it's own unique mudguards/fenders, seat, swept back handlebars and wheels. Other than those changes everything else is the same. Engine, brakes, suspension etc.
Here we have HD and Indian but it is a bike niche. Very few large dealers…I might try and test ride a Triumph Rocket 3, but I would like to try also the Indian Challenger, and maybe I’ll do that in soon. Have also curiosity for the sport Chief, so the brand is becoming to grow on me, I think 😉👌🏻

Awesome review
Thanks Ross!
I loved my 2016 Scout,but it beat me to death,I trade right away for The Chief Vintage and never looked back.
Here we have HD and Indian but it is a bike niche. Very few large dealers…I might try and test ride a Triumph Rocket 3, but I would like to try also the Indian Challenger, and maybe I’ll do that in soon. Have also curiosity for the sport Chief, so the brand is becoming to grow on me, I think 😉👌🏻
Rocket 3 would be a beast Brito! I too would like to test ride Challenger!
The maneuverability of the Rogue is a bit better than the Bobber.
Just sitting on them in the dealership showroom was a night-and-day difference between the chief and the scout I picked the scout because it was way better balanced and lower center of gravity over the chief the chief felt Harley like as in very heavy
I get that. I do still wonder if the Scout Bobber would be a good choice for me.
Indian naming convention is a bit confusing to me. So many Chiefs and Scouts, almost as confusing as Harley's alphabet soup "FXRSTU"😁😁
I keep telling myself I need to learn the Harley naming convention... but it never happens 😁
Kabeer ALMIGHTY
I had to look that up 😁
Definitely need to change out the stock Scout seat. Don’t pay extra for the comfort seat either. Cuz it’s not much better. Just get a good Mustang or Saddleman or spring for the Corbin.
Indian needs to do something about their order timelines. I ordered a Scout Bobber 20. Did all my amenities and I was told 3 weeks. Then it turned into 5 weeks. Then it was no sooner than 8 weeks but they couldn’t put a date on it. I found a used one 2 stares away with the TBR exhaust I was gonna put on it anyway. And I saved $5000.
Chieftain surely?
