- Who said Cruisers are slow and Can't handle the curves? This bike blows that myth outta the water. I had so much fun riding this beautiful 2016 Indian Scout. I am lucky to have gotten a chance to do a review on this American Beauty. Youngblood Powersports

The limiter doesn't kick in till 8,000rpm FYI! Also if you were to really open it up, the torque never drops off as the Rpms rise, it actually pulls slightly harder the higher you go. This can absolutely be a beginners bike, I just took an MSF course and got my license to buy the flat black scout, it will just take a few rides to get used to the power. I love mine but a set of after market slip ons is a must for me, way too quiet stock. Nice vid
good info to have! lol
Same here. I took the Riding Academy 3 day class just to get my M endorsement for the sole purpose of test riding the Scout. 1 test ride was all it took. I was looking at Moto Guzzi and Triumph, but I loved the Scout so much I went straight to the sales guy and placed a down for the 2017 Scout.
I have had my Scout since December 2016 my first road bike/cruiser. After test riding other makes nothing compared to the Indian. The power opposed to other 1200cc bikes was huge a V Rod was comparable, but anything like 103 cube in the HD range the Scout is like a missile armchair compared to the opposition.
Awesome video Bud, I've been interested in this bike since it was announced, I just can't take my eyes off of it, it's like that girl you want to ask out during the school days lol. I always find interesting to watch videos of people that are more into sport/super sport bikes trying cruisers, making their points with solid and not biased arguments, you seems to have a lot of fun riding that bike, and it should be like that no matter what kind of bike you have, considering the pavement hits the same for everyone lol Greeting from Colombia, ride safe!
+The404force thanks I appreciate the comment. I agree with you that no matter what your on, it's all about enjoying the ride. And yeah, I had a ton of fun
puts a harley to shame
First off Nice! Ive been looking at bikes for the past few weeks really thinking of a sport bike.With that being said the Indian had caught my eye earlier on! And after seeing your video Indian will possibly move me to a cruiser that a crotch rocket.The styling of a HD kinda with even more style without the vibration mmm man! I've seen more bike reviews and videos then most guys will watch in their lives lol.But if I'm making a investment of that degree,research research! Your video stood out! Everything from viewpoint of a sport biker to the height and vibration and pick up.To even shooting on a gorgeous day! Really felt a bit better from having watched it! Certainly subscribed and look forward to checking out more of your shoots and reviews! Will post again and let you know if I do purchase the scout!Thanks
I rode this bike for the first time a few days ago and I was blown away by how fast it is. I don't know if it's just an illusion because of the rapid torque delivery or what but right off the line this thing is faster than my 600. A second gear pull is pretty nuts, it'll put you well up to 80mph easily in seconds. The mirrors are trash in my opinion. It's too close. I would like them more towards the front of the bike. I also don't like the brakes, they felt too spongy. A light ass 450 pound sport bike has TWO massive 330m rotors with two 4-piston calipers....this scout has ONE 300mm rotor with a 2 piston caliper? For a bike that weighs 550 lbs? Wtf kind of engineering is that
Hey , how's the engine braking ?
Do you find it soft?
I own a Scout 60 and I would say that yeah it's pretty soft. I usually only brake in 2nd or 3rd gear though
Know I am late, but I own a Scout... Engine breaking is almost non-existent unless you drop it all the way into 1-2. Bike makes up for it in every other way. Very fun to ride!
I am watching your video six years after you had posted it on YT. It had came up on my suggested videos. Yesterday I had taken delivery on a 2022 Scout Black Metallic ABS. I haven't ridden a bike in 23 years, and after just a few minutes of playing with the clutch engagement, getting the feel of it, I was up and riding. It was a blast! Yes, these bikes are awesome to ride. The power is what had impressed me. I'm also 5'8", and this bike has a perfect feel for me. I'm use to dual sports, but I had adjusted to this cruiser quite easily. I do not regret my decision on my purchase.
Nice review! I bought a 2016 Indian Scout (Indian Red) 6 weeks ago. New rider .. so far I have 1300 miles logged and will probably put 100 more on it today. Excellent bike!
Congrats enjoy it
Dakota Burns how’s that Indian holding up? I love those bikes.
yea, cruisers is real motorcycles, not plastic bullets
they're all real motorcycles. you just prefer one style.
It's funny, you said that you ride super sports but on an Indian you're driving Miss Daisy lol
Have bought an Indian red scout form 2016 last march. Have put over 5.000 km's on it. Really love, love the bike. It encourages you to do some more miles. Cruisin is awfull, and the power... just incredible. On average I ride some 20 km's on one liter of petrol. I just love love love the bike. Always lookin forward to the next ride. Great review, it matches my experiences on the bike. All that ride an Indian Scout, nejoy and safe miles.
Bought a 2016 Scout March 1 and couldn't be happier. Frankly, I'm not a good enough rider to put it through what it can do especially on the narrow mountain roads...but I am getting better. I can't imagine dragging the pegs like I thought might be the case. I've had it at 45 degrees and not close to the pegs. For those thinking of a windscreen, I bought a Memphis El Paso and it fits and looks good. At 100 mph, no vibration and just enough wind block to keep things real. The install was easy with moving the turn signals to a what I think as a better more solid position on the fork. Hardware is heavy duty. No flimsy bars and attachments that block the view. I have an easy release set up, so I can easily remove the screen for when I am just buzzing around town. Beware newbies, the second gear will catch you...in fact I was doing 70 and thought I would lug it down a bit going to 6th and it leaped out and hit 80 cause I didn't let off the throttle....good lesson...glad I had plenty of room on the interstate! GREAT BIKE...why am I writing and NOT RIDING?
I have been jonesing for a Scout, so have watched a ton of reviews. Your is one of the better ones. Thank you for covering the heat question at the end. I've only seen one other that touched on it. You mentioned Arkansas and curves. Have you taken "The Pig Trail", Hwy. 23 south from Huntsville, Ar. ? One of the best curvy roads in the country & pretty close to you. Thanks again for an excellent review.
Thanks for the nice review. I gotta chance to text ride one this week and just pulled the trigger on this exact bike yesterday. Getting off my 03 HD1200 that i have been riding for about four years i gotta say i will be so happy to not be vibrated to death on my daily ride. I love the vintage look and happy to support a piece of American motor history.
As soon as I get my full license (the way we do licenses for motorbike in NZ means you are limited to a certain amount of ccs it's 660cc I believe until you get the full license) I'm going to the nearest dealer and buying an Indian I have heard nothing but good things about them and have decided I might was we'll get one as the unlike a hog will handle corners better something we have a lot of on NZ roads and they don't lack when it comes to speed and we can all agree the things look amazing
Excellent motorcycle ! In new Indian motorcycle engine's vibrations there are very few ! Technically, their modern engine technology and a high level! The frame and engine vibration Mute is very good !
Hey, nice review. Bought one today in Central MI. Love it. Had to decide between the Fat Bob and the Scout. This one is very smooth and fantastic for people who have not owned one in a while. Cheers!
lamest music in history
+Cody Mcgonagill hmm I guess you've never heard of Macklemore
I've test drove this bike,the Victory Octane and the Harley 48. All very different! Great job man! Like the editing in the beginning
Thanks! Im wanting to ride a forty-eight but havent found one yet.
Great review man. Looking at one Friday this week. Thanks to Youngblood Powersports too.
Brought one home today and I agree with you. It's one impressive machine
Had to stop it. The music is too much! If I wanted a concert I would search for one.
As far as touring; I do it. The Scout is just fine on longer hauls. I've done 3 mountain passes in a day with camping gear strapped on. Done 600 miles in a day and been on the road for 6 days at a stretch. Has its limitations, but it will travel.
Think about it 3 gallon gas tank 40 miles to gallon with no fuel gauge that is scary you can't go far
Good review, thanks, I may get one , will be a nice addition to my Bonnie..
Seriously thinking of purchasing the Scout. you gave me a great overview! how significant is the engine breaking issue? am looking at a 2017 scout. Thanks.
+Johann R Xavier it's not a big deal. I would also prefer if the brakes would have more bite, but I'm also used to riding a bike that is over braked for street use anyway
Remember the cruiser community is about cruising not sport riding. If I was rich I would like to have the red one more for collecting than riding. LIke you said, it is the oldest motorcycle company in the US.
You know what, that is some great criticism. I don't know if you meant it as criticism, but I think it is a really good point for me to think about on future cruiser videos. Thanks Riderman
Actually it wasn't criticism, just a point of view.
Can I ask how tall you are? Just curious how comfortable i'd be on it at 6'3"! Thanks great vid
+Jed Higgerson I am 5'9" but it may feel cramped for you since you are that tall
Redline is around 8300 RPM, same as the Scout 60, although I've never hit it on mine lol
+TxGamer13 lol thanks. There isn't much of a need to hit redline
Is it a good beginners bike for someone who has never ridden a motorcycle before and I am going to take my msf motorcycle course soon
It's more than a beginners bike...😎
Now this is how you make a motorcycle channel
I almost bought a bike there. Lol kinda weird to see someone so close. I'm from Branson.
lol nice
Woah! beautiful day for ride!!!!with that beauty!
Nice rides man, my son owns one and I love it.
are you able to do a victory gunner review?
Se Deus quiser essa vai ser minha primeira moto sem dúvida
Keep up the videos man nice work I'm trying to get enough money to take my classes to try and get my motorcycle license here and then save up to get my bike don't know what bike tho anyways love the videos have a great day or night
Thanks, its a great goal to have. I spent a lot of money to do the class and get my wife to do it with me. well worth it though
+PAYDAYSWAGGER man congrats I hope I'll be able to ride with all my favorite riders when I get the chance to
Nice countryside is like UK. Where is it filmed?
Ozark, Missouri in the USA
I may have missed it but did you say that bike had a fuel gauge ?? I watched it twice .I may just be a dumbass .
+Russell Cupples there's a lot of info in the video so no worries. no fuel gauge, just a fuel light when it gets low.
O.k. .Thank you Sir
Gayest thing about motovlogs, intros and da music 😑
+bruce wayne because it's free to use 😆
What's the intro song?
"It leans fine" ? What lean?
That's a nice ride.
Wonderful bike.
A Missouri moto vlogger?? Where have you been? 😂
There's a bunch of them out there.
this music .. really ?? with a Indian motorcycle ?? maybe for a sports bike..?
+Chris Free its to bad that there is this thing called a copyright. I'd love to play some George Thorogood or Jethro Tull (Aqualung is my personal favorite of his) but I just can't, man.
aqualungs a good song
Jethro Tull is a band, not a person! Scouts RULE!!!
I heard the main issue is heat...but I guess not??
no its an issue, depends where you live, if the climate is hot it wouldnt help
Dude, you need to get out of second and third gear.
He can't. I've done nearly 90 in second. If he went to 4th (much less 5th or 6th) it would lug. You want to hammer the power band on a Scout in a higher gear, you need a more open road with less traffic.
Hmm. Wonder if that engine braking is soft.
Of course it is, it's an over square. Besides, Brakes are easily replaced and cheap. Engine braking is lame, and for truckers....Engines, not so cheap.
Lean?
I've been interested in the Indian Scout/Victory Octane for a while.
Well what are you waiting for???? ;)
I have no money...
LOL!!
Polaris is the oldest bike manufacturer in the US?
+Sunbear415 as far as I know
Indian started in 1901, Harley in 1903. Indian manufactured motorcycles till about 1953 then they when bankrupt and the business was shut down. I believe Polaris bought the Indian name in 2011.
obviously the first thing to is throw the the stock pipes in the skip.
They actually start getting a little louder over time. Some owners take a long pipe and knock out the baffles to help, but I like the sound.
Exactly my thought. The stock pipes are ridiculous large and bulky. Ruins the lines of a good looking bike.
Heinz Baron
IMO, the stock pipes look great. They're just WAY too quiet. I'd replace them with Vance and Hines Grenades or RCX 3" pipes.
Could it go coast to coast it I wanted to
Sure...adjust yourself to the bike...and go the distance.
is it comfortable for a fe hundred miles?
+Fat Harold some of the "hardcores" will ride it for a couple hindered miles at a time, but I'd prefer something a little bigger. You can put a windscreen on this bike though to make it more bearable
my vegas gets to you after 100 miles and it has a windscreen. I think all roads lead to a road king eventually.
Hi I'm a new sub and I love your channel man

Hey thanks!
