Lmfao very much so ! It’s a new generation !!

I can see that ! 👌🏽👌🏽 it’s a great bike !

Oh ya it’ll scrape but it’s not terrible for a cruiser

Someone said the bike was so hot it got burned off 🤣😂🤣😂😂

Tell me how you really feel !

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’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

lmao its not that serious !!

Lmfao interesting trade off there !! It’s faster but not as comfortable for sure !

Heck ya it’s an awesome bike !

Not intentionally I actually didn’t move them hahaha. And I rarely show kickstand side since it’s angled down lol

Hey no worries at all ! I get it some people prefer the naked bikes

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

It’s a beast for sure !!

🤣🤣

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.

lol i want to hear both with exhausts !!

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 !

It is dam good looking isn’t it !

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

Thank you thank you. I will soon ride one. I know I will !

🤣🤣🤣 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.

No one asked you Graig!

Interesting what’s your preferred ride. Middle weight cruiser?

That’s funny !! But what do you think ?

Interesting. The radiator in the 101 is actually larger 🤣🤣🤣

$16,999 I believe is the price.

More neck and neck but i don’t have one lol

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.

It is a more well rounded bike if that’s the only one in the stable !

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 !

Lmfao 🤣 I’ll take it.

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.

No worries bro I fully understand. I would say the sportster s is polarizing. One way or the other not many in between.

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.

💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 it’s. A dam good bike !

HAHAHA

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.

Thank you thank you. More to come !

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

Not sure what you mean ?

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

Dam !

😂😂🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

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!

Oh ya man it’s an awesome bike for sure !!

🤔🤔🤔🤔

Interesting first time I’ve heard that. How exactly is that ?
