Harley Riders Are Not Going To Like this Indian Scout Rogue Review.
Im a 100% Harley guy. The Sportster S looks good. But the 101 looks better. Better looks cant get me to buy it tho. Its not a Harley so for that reason it automatically loses. I have 13 year old Vrod and it also has a 60° 1250cc. It has 9hp more and 5lb-ft tq more than the scout. The Scout is just a Slower version of Harleys Vrod and Sportsters S.
*cough* Bonneville*cough*
It’s great to see a cruiser video not resorting to blueys rock, we’re not all boomers wearing bandannas 😂
Lmfao very much so ! It’s a new generation !!
Indian's first for me.....Better looks & dynamics.
I can see that ! 👌🏽👌🏽 it’s a great bike !
How’s the lean angle? Scrape much ??
Oh ya it’ll scrape but it’s not terrible for a cruiser
What happened to your mustache?
Someone said the bike was so hot it got burned off 🤣😂🤣😂😂
F-HD
Tell me how you really feel !
I have to ask if you would take the chief across country
Not sure. I’m not the right person to ask I haven’t ridden anything cross country. I don’t really have a point of reference. But you can take anything cross country it will make it. Just a matter of does it have what you need to be comfortable. I would need to change the screen height if possible. I think the seat would be fine. Maybe a back rest. I think the body position is wide and comfortable perfect for longer rides. It feels very relaxed to sit on. Longer more constant speeds it’s better than the scout for sure.
@NostalgicMotorcycles I'm in canada in ont. I've been to both ways just for fun. I'm getting older and riding a 04 valusa it went to the east coast a few years ago and it's about had it. I'm heading west this time, and I'm looking for a review on new bikes. I think I will have to get on a few thank you for your input.
I think Indian dealer all do free test rides you should be able to go ride them !
I have a chief classic ,wife has a scout .. i take them over the bobber versions of the new bikes ..if i wanted a bike that looks like a harley ..i would buy a Harley
I’m a little confused as to what looks like a Harley ?
@@NostalgicMotorcycles the whole bobber line
@@jamesfenter916 Interesting take. I thought bobbing was not attached to Harley and it was more of a popular thing that people like to do to customize motorcycles. hence why people bob shadow and vtx's intersting.
@NostalgicMotorcycles it goes back to the post war ... riders stripping down surplus machines..both Harley and indian.. but Harley has some bobber style bikes .. .. fact 50 years ago I was cutting down fenders to build bobbers.
Hmmm interesting ya that’s past my day man lol
I'll take the Scout so my engine don't blow up!
lmao its not that serious !!
The 101 wants me want to cheat on my chieftain 😢
Lmfao interesting trade off there !! It’s faster but not as comfortable for sure !
I got a 2023 CFMOTO 300NK....I LOVE IT!
Heck ya it’s an awesome bike !
Dude, you didn't show the left side of the bikes. The Sportster is just ugly.
Not intentionally I actually didn’t move them hahaha. And I rarely show kickstand side since it’s angled down lol
120mph+ is plenty fast, even for a seasoned rider. Definitely looks like a good bike, but I like the NK model better.
Hey no worries at all ! I get it some people prefer the naked bikes
Great video. The camera angle was killing me! I kept waiting for you to say "You know what I mean there, Vern?"
lol thank you not really sure what you mean about the camera angle though!
@@NostalgicMotorcycles The leaning into the camera was reminding me of this guy- czcams.com/video/K7EoPGfnuT0/video.htmlsi=GDOD7ehVQpEyrkDl
Lmfaooo that’s funny. I just think it’s funny to get in your face so to speak lol
Sportster S is my pick. It’s very fast, and if you dial in suspension correctly. It’s not bad at all. With that said, brakes is an issue, the 101 superior in that aspect. I am a 101 fan also, but the power and torque of HD Sportser s is uncanny
It’s a beast for sure !!
After the controversy with HD..
🤣🤣
Now this is the video I have been waiting for Initially I hated the looks of the Sportster s, I went to a dealer to look at it in person and my good it’s beautiful, photos and videos do not do this bike justice I have been comparing these bikes on paper (being in Australia the scout 101 is still months away) Thank you for the video and for me, the sportster s takes the win and probably the money in my wallet
Lmfao glad I could help. I will say this if you only have one bike total the 101 is probably a better choice as it’s slightly more comfortable for longer rides and more customizable as far as bags and touring commodities. The as is faster and more fun in my opinion. But I have a comfortable longer range bike that I ride as well so I can look past the comfort and focus more on the fun of the sportster s
@@NostalgicMotorcycles That’s something to keep in mind. I generally don’t do long rides, so the time I need to I was just going to tough it out on the sportster s. In Australia the sportster s is $24,000 and the 101 is $28,000 ride away. Is the scout worth the extra $4000 in your mind?
Comfort and features yes. It’s a better all around motorcycle. If I could only one motorcycle and these are my 2 options I’m picking the scout. Having multiple bikes I’m taking the sportster. The sportster S is faster which to me is more important.
Indian all day long looks better sounds better
lol i want to hear both with exhausts !!
I chose the Sportster S. I had the previous Scout. I love both bikes, but I am a bit sportier. Lifted the rear and about to replace the shock absorbers in the back. Changed the front tyre to 150 Matzler. It's getting a bit sportier now. :)
Oh man does that new front tire make it fall more into corners ? I feel I have to guide it all the way down and out of turns. Does that change with the new front tire ?
@NostalgicMotorcycles it's 15 not 16 and better shaped. It's much easier to steer but it's not a 120 tyre though
Ya true but that’s good to hear. I don’t know if there is a world where a 120 fits this bike lmfaoo. That’s for nightsters
@NostalgicMotorcycles a 140 with a trick can be put on the rim. For Sportier handling I would do front fork lift too, throw away both tires and replace them with the ones on the FTR sport. Since there's Adaptive ride height technology available I don't know why HD hasn't gone for that option; imagine that engine and chassis with a 42-43 lean angle, easy tip in and longer suspension but with the aquat down at low speed....it would be a killer
I know. It will actually be effective. It would have to be the pan am engine but those are seriously respectable numbers !
I’m a loyal Harley guy but really like the look of the 101 better. That’s a first for me👍
It is dam good looking isn’t it !
Indian will never be as good as harley, they can keep trying but will never be on the same level
Ooo I would go look at this in person you might be surprised.
@Sam123QU29 Lol, have you tried an Indian like the host of this channel. He gives props to both manufacturers.
All bro lmfao I just love bikes
Sportster has quite hard suspension, feels awesome to ride though. It’s a unique look. Would have to ride the 101 before making a decision. Bought the Nightster Special for my wife which was $7500 less than the Indian 23 scout. Nightster Special is a fantastic bike, highly recommend checking it out. Great vid mate, from Aus 🇦🇺
Thank you thank you. I will soon ride one. I know I will !
As long as the H-D doesn't throw Engine codes, stall, not start, transmission Gremlins, non-start issues, especially that 2021 that was a shit-show of problems, and as long as H-D stays woke..I'll Take the Polaris.
🤣🤣🤣 it’s a good bike.
@@NostalgicMotorcycles Not the 2021-22’s, Pure Dumpster Fire of Problems, it’s all over CZcams 👎👎
I own the bike lmfao. “All over youtube” literally represents maybe 2-3% of the population. There are more videos of good info all over CZcams.
@@NostalgicMotorcycles That’s 2-3% (alleged) more than I would accept getting a 21-22 of this model is just pure stupidity unless you enjoy check engine lights and warranty trips to the dealer. And now, the 2025 models are ALL going to be built in Thailand, so eventually, some monkey making 12-cents an hour will be assembling Rev-Max engines , and with that you think this Nazi CEO will lower the prices of these bike now that they’re going to be built in that shithole country ,??, doubtful. 👎👎
Wow 🤦🏽♂️. I’m not sure about that one. I would suggest changing your expectations slightly. Perfection on a bike isn’t going to be had when you make thousands of bikes. Warranties exist because they are not all 100% perfect. All vehicles fall under this it’s been a lot of years since companies made something as bad as a Pontiac fiero and that’s what it sounds like you think this is, when it’s not. that’s not remotely close to true.
I don't like either one.
No one asked you Graig!
Interesting what’s your preferred ride. Middle weight cruiser?
That’s funny !! But what do you think ?
The Sportster has a car radiator hanging on the front of it and makes it look like $hit lol so...
Interesting. The radiator in the 101 is actually larger 🤣🤣🤣
what does it cost
$16,999 I believe is the price.
I think the nightster would have been a better comparison.
More neck and neck but i don’t have one lol
Sportster s keep breaking down and they never finished the left side of the harley engine. Breakes arnt as good as the Indian the harley is fun but not finished or reliable. Indian smashed harley out of the park with 101. And Harleys response is now they going to move overseas.......?
Well owning the Harley and having about 10k miles on it. I can’t agree with you. So if your own is be I’d love to hear your personal issues and not what you read in the internet. I will say the left side of the engine does look unfinished as it doesn’t have the same bronze pop as the other side that’s spot on. Brakes are better on the Indian but it’s not as much as you think. They are marginally better not substantially. The real feel difference is as higher speeds the 101 brakes feel as if they grab more faster but sub 80mph they feel dam near the same.
If they’re both same price definitely the scout 101
It is a more well rounded bike if that’s the only one in the stable !
The indian is detuned from factory. Open the exhaust, better intake and a llyods tune could easily get 13 more hp out the bike😊
Fun claims but we have yet to see 😜 sportster s has more ponies and in it too. Proven. It’ll get 115/90 at the wheel. Not sure the 101 will get that. I do think it’ll clear 100 at the wheels my guess is 100/85tq at the wheel after exhaust and tune.
@NostalgicMotorcycles We have to remember a bb scout 1300cc can put 120/90 to the wheel. This scout is a 1250cc stock. The bike de-reg'd like a m***er. It's brand new, and llyods have not got his hands on it. Just wait for it.
Not sure what a bb scout is ? But my goal with the sporty will be 150/90 to the wheels. Thanks for watching its helping me get there. The pan am can do it so can this. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
@NostalgicMotorcycles you a cool man bro. Let's go.
Thank you. I appreciate it !
No, the sportster is ugly. It looks like someone bloated it with air. So ugly.
Lmfao 🤣 I’ll take it.
It's actually not as "Dad" as some people have been led to believe. The VFR1200 is essentially a cleverly disguised MotoGP bike. That motor has got the same firing order as the MotoGP bikes i.e. 104 degrees-256 degrees-104 degrees-256 degrees of the mid to late 2000-teens (and the RC30). From HONDA's website in 2013 quote: Packed with loads of advanced technology developed for the world of MotoGP racing and created with Honda-style innovation, the VFR1200F has written a whole new chapter in the lore of Honda V-4 machines. " The VFR 1200 is essentially a very "dumbed down" race bike.
I mean ergonomically it’s not. It’s taller, wider, heavier, more upright lmfao. I know you quoted Honda marketing but that’s always to be taken for a grain of salt. Now the engine. Hell ya beast of an engine. Chassis isn’t a moto go chassis. It’s my bike and I love it and think it’s great. It’s not a cbr1000 with a v4. It’s 100% not Supersport
@@NostalgicMotorcycles hence the adage: “dumbed down”. Yes - Completely Different riding geometry C.O.G. Etc and it was engineered to last a long time not to be “raced”. But the motor is a true gem. That alone makes the bike a “unicorn” of sorts.
Now Honda needs to bring this engine up to modern standards. Dual overhead cams, variable valve timing and it’ll make 200 all day.
The Indian looks so much better , the Harley looks, terrible , sorry HD lovers ,but i am sure it is a good bike . Ride safe !
No worries bro I fully understand. I would say the sportster s is polarizing. One way or the other not many in between.
I never thought I'd say this but I'd take the Indian. I think it looks WAY better and with the tech, it's a no brainer. 10HP increase isn't going to do much and the better ride in the corners make it the clear winner. I've been a Harley guy since I bought my first in 2008, Softail Crossbones (FLSTSB) and while I've loved that bike, I simply cannot stand supporting a company who's gone as woke as Harley has. Motorcycles should NOT be political tools but unfortunately Harley has brought that crap into the discussion. SO my money will 100% not be going to Harley anymore. I know I know, they'll be broken hearted to not get my hundreds to thousands of dollars a year that I spend on merch, repairs, parts, and more so I'm under no delusions that I'll impact the bottom line. Mine is a small, small voice but it's the only one I have and I'm screaming as loud as I can. I doubt the idiots on HD board or executive team can even hear me but they need to change course ASAP while there might be time to save the company.....otherwise, we're sadly witnessing the final days of HD
Lmfao something I discovered Harley is owned by private equity ! They know what they are doing for sure. The company will be profitable and live. It may change but it’ll live.
@@NostalgicMotorcycles - First of all you're only partially correct. Harley is a publicly traded stock so anyone can buy Harley stock. So it's not a private company....which is what is implied by saying it's owned by private equity. However you are correct that it's owned by large companies that are privately held or that are public but the vast majority of shares are owned by like minded companies. BUT you simply cannot say Harley is owned by private equity cuz that's factually false or incomplete. To say that Harley will be fine is also not accurate. Disney stocks after going HARD into the woke culture has never recovered, same with BudLight and Target. All of these companies have been severely impacted by their woke policies but softened their stances long ago but the damage is done. Time will tell if Harley does the same. In the wake of a tighter economy, Harley picked the worse time to have this revealed. When stock prices tumble public companies have trouble raising money - something which Harley was already experiencing prior to the economy hammering the every day consumer. Their problems are multiplying exponentially and the longer they wait to change, the worse it'll be. Like I said, I will be VERY surprised if Harley survives this. I honestly do not think they will.
Only time will tell my friend. I will say this. Harley has been around for an extraordinary amount of years. I can say longer than you and I have been alive. When I say Harley will survive looking at a 1/4 year just isn’t meaningful. Same with these other companies we are talking almost and some more 100 year companies like a bad year isn’t going to knock them out trust me. If Harley has a down 10 year maybe we can start talking about them going by the wayside but one quarter in a market where all sticks are falling is really meaningless. Same with bud and Disney. Market will go down eventually correct and when the total economy gets back on ride these companies will rise as well now how much is yet to be determined.
Indian 101 all day!
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 it’s. A dam good bike !
Not only is the Indian faster.... it's also not gay!
HAHAHA
You don't have the money to wear proper gear.. how can anyone take you seriously 😅
Because contrary to popular belief, knowledge about motorcycles how to ride and how they feel has no correlation at all. Like none, zero, zilch, nada to wearing gear lol. It’s physically possible to know about bikes and not wear gear. And you can wear gear and not know a thing about how a bike works. The jacket doesn’t make the rider 🤭🤭🤭🤭. Have a listen you might learn something.
@NostalgicMotorcycles dude, you ride for the crash. We ride fast and hard here. We have rhe most airports in the world here. The bikes are just training to get us airborne. Do you think anyone lets you run an air ship with that attitude??
@@mavisbeeswax8136 Not sure where here is. but my here has motorcycles designed to stay on the ground. I don't ride to slide. I ride to ride and get back home vertical just like I left. Just noting no attitude. I was just asking what wearing a jacket and having motorcycle knowledge have to do with one another as your original comment was "You don't have the money to wear proper gear.. how can anyone take you seriously" my knowledge and a jacket don't have anything to do with one another. People take me seriously because I know what I'm talking about nothing to do with a jacket.
Man, I love your style of vids and info! Keep on ridin' and be safe!
Thank you thank you. More to come !
Id say the main difference is how u ride the bike, cbr’s are the most comfortable gsxr’s in the middle and r6’s will do a number on ur back
Yes they are all still low hands high knees and bent over.
Sat on a gsxr once immediately went “nope get me off this thing” I’ll take anR6/R7 zx6r/ninja 650 or even a cbr 600 over the gsxr just don’t like the bike at all nothing about it makes me want to spend .0000001 seconds on it can’t tell you why
Weird lmfaooo
And if not my bike is mega Amazon lol😅
Not sure what you mean ?
Disagree but only slightly. Ergonomics hit me hard, GSXR is way more comfortable than an R6 to me.
In a vacuum of 600 yes. In reality they are marginally different compared to a truly comfortable ride of a different style bike. Example. Gsxr is slightly less aggressive. Yet both are significantly less comfortable than sport tourers or naked. They are only marginally different than each other outside of the 600 class
@@NostalgicMotorcycles I'll give you that. My standard touring bike is way more comfortable.
Ya obviously I didn’t clear that. Oh well too late now lmao
Facts I've had every one but ninja
Dam !
Get an indian, HD become gay company
😂😂🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I started on a Honda monkey and a year later bought my 2023 Indian scout rogue and I love everything about it. Going from 9 horsepower to 100 was a smooth transition and every time I get off my scout I think damn that's my bike. I couldn't be happier!
Heck ya bro. Big jump but I do think a smooth one. Glad you love it. It’s a good bike.
@@NostalgicMotorcycles yes very smooth. Thanks for the content even though I own the bike I still like seeing other people enjoy it as well!
