- Hey folks, I’ve gone Rogue! In this video I’m talking about what I like about it compared to the Indian Scout Bobber. I really love both of these bikes but the subtle differences are what sold me on the Rogue. Stay tuned for more Rogue videos. I’ll be putting out more content as I modify this bike to my liking.

I'm 39 and told im having my mid life crisis cuz I randomly decided to get my motorcycle license and now getting a Rogue. It was like a lightswitch ill admit cuz I never once thought about riding a motorcycle until like 2 months ago and it just popped into my head. I'm very excited about this new phase of my life. I think watching my Dad get sick and fight cancer just hit me real hard and made me put life into perspective and I thought I need to start living more while I still can. Anyways I love the Rogue and it really sings to me so I chose it. Please keep my father in your prayers if ya'll don't mind. Thank you and safe riding!
Nice choice! Wear good gear and stay safe out there. Sending good vibes your dad’s way.
Stay safe and have fun! Remember, always expect traffic to do the dumbest thing. 🤙🏼
I'm 73 going on a mid life! Never to old! Rogue Bobber in my garage soon!! Just got rid of a Honda VTX1800C!
Prayers for your dad!!
lucky guy with a supportive wife!
Yea I’m not sure how I talked her into a third bike 😅. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@timetomoto still trying to talk mine into the first! Sweet looking bike, brother
Great vid! You’re a funny guy. Congratulations on the beauty bike
@@stevebriggs2007 Thanks! I appreciate you watching.
I'm so pumped I just bought smoke black rogues and couldn't ride it cus it was raining here in California yesterday. Only 8 miles fresh tires and wet ground definitely won't take that risk lol can't wait pick her up next Friday I'm Soo excited. As now my anxiety goes up to the roof and let's goooo already!
Sounds great man. You’ll have it before you know it. Excited for you.
How did it go ?
Really enjoyed ur video bro. Getting my rogue soon but all I have right now is CZcams and I’m running outta Rogue videos to watch😂.🤘on
Thanks Kevin. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I think you’re gonna love it when you get it. Stay safe. 🤘on.
Great looking motorcycle! I think it’s the best looking bike in that category of small cruisers. Can’t wait to try one. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching. I really like the way it looks too.
You have chosen a really breathtakingly beautiful motorcycle, congratulations!
Greetings from Germany
Thank you Orhan. Greetings.
I agree!
I just got a 2024 Scout Bobber and before I even picked it up I had them put 10" Apes, Comfort + seat, Smoked Signals and Vance and Hines. Basically a Rogue without the fairing and 19" front wheel. Which is exactly what I wanted. :)
Beautiful Rogue btw.
Congrats on the new Bobber!
Fantastic video. Absolutely love that bike. Color is awesome. Can't wait to get one this winter for next year. Thanks 👍🏽
Thanks man. It’s a great bike. Still loving it but it’s been so hot in Texas I haven’t got out as much as I’d like.
Awesome video man thank you for the review definitely helps out on trying to find the right ride.
Thanks very much.
Thanks for the content! I just got my 2023 scout Rouge and I chose it over the regular scout cause when I sat on it the syndicate seat, the 19 inch front wheel and the mini apes is what got me. its a great bike! I went from learning how to ride on a 2021 honda monkey to the scout Rouge in comparison the scout is a rocket! A few people said the scout was going to be to much power but it wasn't and I got used to the power and the bike itself very quickly. Like I said it's a great bike and when I get off of it and look back at it I think to myself damn that's my bike
It's a great looking bike for sure. Definitely a rocket compared to the monkey. Great to hear you were able to transition to the bigger bike with ease. Some people need to slowly work their way up and others just jump right in. Please tell Jenny Summers I said hi 😂
I love the peel-away... fully knowing you had to come back and get the go-pro right after 😆the joys of moto-vlogging and reviews. Great review and out of the Harley vs Indian debate.. I am Indian nearly 100%... I do like a few of the newer Harley bikes, where they acknowledge technology... but for cruisers and baggers, Indian.
Thanks Adam. Yea every time I ride away from the camera I'm hoping it's still there when I come back. I had a Sportster 883 in 2003. That was my first bike so I didn't have much to go on with respect to comparing models.I love the Rogue but wish there were more aftermarket options like the Harleys. This is my first Indian though and it's great. I'm a fan. Thanks for watching.
Great video! I have the 19 Scout Bobber Icon in blue. Love it. The stock "comfort" seat is harsh lol. The Syndicate solo seat from the Rogue will work on the regular bobber, my dealer swapped them to try it out, but I couldn't keep it lol. They're great bikes and I want a Rogue so bad now lol
Thanks. Yea just about everything is interchangeable on the Bobber and Rogue. I’m getting a Saddlemen seat so my wife will be comfortable.
Congrats man. I’m looking to pick between a bobber and a rouge. Thanks for the info
No problem 👍 Thanks for watching. Either one os a good choice in my opinion.
I keep thinking of things that I've done to my bike I also drilled out the first baffle in the exhaust and it made it sound much deeper and a little bit louder. Some people have drilled all the way to the second baffle I didn't want to do that. It sounds great now I was going to get aftermarket exhaust but I'm totally happy the way it sounds just wish there a little bit lighter
That's good to know. I might give that a shot before going aftermarket. Thanks for watching and sharing. Stay safe out there.
I bought my bike from that same dealership about a month ago and I'm loving it!!!
Hell yea dude! It’s been really hot but I’ve been getting out as much as I can.
I got the same bike I definitely had to get the piggyback shocks they were expensive but made the bike feel like a different bike completely. I'm an old guy too and those stock shocks killed my back. I ended up going with a Memphis shade fairing and 17 in vented screen and I love it. I got the same bag as you I love that. And I got a mustang seat with backrest didn't fit perfectly on the back but it does fit. Trying to side now if I want to get a rear rack or a seat my wife but she's not sure if she wants to ride yet. Do love the bike though plenty of power and fun to ride. Congrats on the new wheels
Thanks I've been looking at the Memphis shade fairing as well. I ended up with the Progressive 444s and they made a huge difference. I also ordered new seats. I went with the Saddlemen Renegade rider and passenger seats. When they come in I'll make a video about it.
I bought mine from Austin as well. Test rode it over the summer last year and had to have it
Nice!
I just bought a rogue 60 in black metallic- already stage 1’ed it and did some ergonomic adjustments for my 6’2 height
Recommend the Joker machine moto race pegs, for your cornering- I personally don’t lay it down too much and went with the bear trap mini floor boards for comfort
Super fun bike and hauls the mail just fine after the tune
Congrats on your bike-
Thanks. Same to you. I just put Joker Machine pegs on it last week. I went with the bear trap boards as well It definitely helps with cornering but I’m in it for the comfort as well.
I like the way you edited this video.
Thanks very much!
Yessir🔥🔥
Indeed!
Nice ride! I have the regular Scout sixty. Something very special about riding an Indian. Enjoy!
Thanks. You too.
Nice bike!
Thanks Zeyno.
I bought a rogue. Rotate your bars back a little. It lets you sit up right and gives you more control over your steering. completely changes the feel of the bike in a major way and it feels so damn good.
Thanks. Already did. I agree it made a difference. Really love the way this bike handles. Especially after upgrading the rear suspension. Thanks for watching.
Mirrors up looks fine mate. I would do the same if I purchase a Rogue
👍
Excellent choice Sir! I bought a Bobber and I definitely agree with you about the leaning. The apes should be my next upgrade but they come at a steep price 😮. Enjoy the ride👊
Thanks. I will say the apes only made a slight difference in lean to me but the riding position is more comfortable. I’ve read that extending the clutch and brake cables is a little bit of a pain. But I think the mini apes work with the cables from the shorter bars. Don’t quote me on that though 😀
@TIME to MOTO that's just on the 60 big scout you'll have to change the cables when you put the mini apes on
I love the camera fall and you leaving that in. Anyway, great video keep up the good work!
Thanks 💪🧸
Also, look into HIghsider stealth mirrors. They are longer on one end, so you can swing them under, but have them extend INWARD, and then your elbows won't block the entire mirror. That's my next purchase.
Thanks I’ll take a look. I found some off brand mirrors on Amazon that actually work ok but could be better.
Beautiful bike 👍🏻
Thanks!
Happy wife , happy life ! Awesome choice !!
You got that right!. Thanks
Good vid
Thanks
Looks like central texas scenery.
I've been looking at Indian for a while now. It's been a tossup between the regular scout or the rogue 20.
Both are good looking bikes.
Oh I also got the reduced reach handlebars and tilton them back a little bit more. I wasn't a huge fan of the mini apes I was still leaning more forward than I liked
I considered these to. I might end up with them at some point.
Just wish they gave it a little bit more ground clearance, a better suspension to smooth out the ride. And a more throaty sound from the exhaust. I will be going to the Indian dealership in Charlotte to take a test ride on the rogue and a possible purchase.
Yeah I agree. The first thing I did was replace the rear shocks.
Nice video. I have a 2021 regular Scout. Never get tired of riding it although my 66 yr. old butt complains now and then. Would you say the new shocks greatly improved ride, or did you not have much time on OEM shocks? Thanks
Thanks Mike. I only had about 60 miles on the OEM suspension. I rode it on the same bumpy road before and after and there was a noticeable difference for sure. I't still a little stiff compared to other bikes I've had but much better than OEM in my opinion.
Nice looking bike I would lose the exhaust and get it louder exhaust a few other things maybe a bigger tire on the back but it looks nice though three days ago my wife and I were sitting around having a beer and my wife said wanted to get one so I’m going to get one
Yes! That’s great man. Do it before she changes her mind 😜
🤘👍
💪
Great video! i bought my "regular" Scout back in Oct 2020. I thought i wanted the Bobber as well. Very happy with my purchase . i put some progressive 444s on it as well! Went to a Rogue test ride event last summer, and if that bike was available when I bought mine - I would've bought the Rogue as well! Take it easy! looking forward to more Rogue content!
Mister Sid - Thanks for watching the video. So far I'm happy with it but I'm sure I'd say the same thing about a Bobber or full Scout. They all seem to be great bikes. This is my first Indian and I'm really happy with it aside from the things that you need to change right away to make it more comfortable. Other than that I'm excited to join the tribe, so to speak.
I just purchased a Rogue and I am new to motorcycles. Was this 100 dollar Viking bag easy to install, and did it come with all hardware. Or did you have to "drill" as my dealer told me I would have to? Love the video. Thanks for your time.
Congrats and welcome.
It was an easy install with no drilling involved. It came with hardware, I think just 2 fender bolts to replace the OEM bolts.
I was wondering if you noticed much difference in the handling of the Rogue with the 19in tire compaired to the scout bobber's 16in front tire?
I didn't really get a chance to ride the Bobber on the twisties during the test ride so the handling was similar. I did feel more comfortable weaving on the Rogue but I don't know if it was the difference in the handlebars or wheels or both.
I've read that the slimmer tire makes a difference and lightens handling which makes sence. I'm not sure if the larger diameter really makes much of a difference on the road.
Did you notice the bike pulling to the right at all when you let go of the bars. Mine does that and the guy at Indian said it was normal for them to pull to the ride a little bit because of the exhaust weight and the way the motor is setting in there. I thought it was a bit weird but just wanted to know if you had that same experience
You know I haven't really noticed, but that's interesting. I'll have to try it out and see if that's the case with my bike.
@@timetomoto is it ?
@@flesz_ yes I have noticed a slight pull to the right when letting go of the bars. It’s not extremely noticeable but it does tend to do that at times.
You can get mini apes and tilt then forward, problem of leaning fwd solved although the rogue mini is std.
True. All the parts are interchangeable. The 19in front low profile tire makes the difference to me.
If you liked the bobber better. I wonder, did you look at the bobber twenty? I have one with the comfort seat and it’s great haha
At first glance I liked the bobber better but I really like the way the front 19” low profile tires. The handling feels better to me.
Either way, Rogue or Bobber, they’re both awesome looking bikes.
Love the review. Did I mention "fun'?
😃 thanks Frank
The the better set up bad azz bike
Indeed 👍
I was just there a few days ago and bought a bobber
Nice! Congrats
The Viking saddle bag for a 100 box ? Sir I do want the link please !
Here ya go Tomahawk. www.vikingbags.com/viking-indian-leather-motorcycle-solo-bag-for-indian-scout-bobber/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwu-KiBhCsARIsAPztUF06Us_G9AaPZ8FSCAPf5jkrWN6zBHdZ4f7kKJGOqrLUpm10S-R6OAsaAs8YEALw_wcB
I got a 2021 Scout bobber at the beginning of July it had 428mi on it got to ride it for a month and then the front cylinder would cut out on me and I’d get Error code 651. it’s been in the shop for almost a month now and still no clue when it will be done because they have not seen the codes before.
Oh man sorry to hear that. That’s ridiculous. Hope it gets sorted out soon.
@@timetomoto thanks man I’ve only seen the error on forums about the Polaris side by sides but the only remedy I’ve seen is to replace the whole wiring harness.
@@MastaKeahi Wow. I'd probably make a real stink about it and have them start replacing stuff. I will say when I first picked up the Scout the low fuel light was on with a full tank of gas. The dealer found it was a bad fuse and I haven't had any other issues since then. But if I had bought a new bike and it had an issue like yours I'd be pissed. Hope you're able to get back on the road soon.
I agree the bobber looks nicer, maybe you could mod it to like the bobber.
👍
Overall, the Rogue is a very nice looking bike.
Truth.
😲“You OK?” 😅😂
😜
I would have gotten the Rogue over the Bobber as well. Better riding position = more comfort. I love the green color as well. Enjoy!
Thanks. Yea I’m really happy with it. I’ve done a bunch of upgrades to it and plan to put out another video hopefully soon. Just been really busy working and haven’t had time.
Have you thought bout scout bobber twenty?
No. I didn’t consider the Rogue or Bobber Sixty. I wanted the bigger engine and 6 gears as opposed to the smaller engine with 5 gears.
@@timetomoto scout bobber twenty is also a bigger engine with 6 gears.
Oh sorry I completely misread your message and thought you were talking about the 60. I did consider the 20 but ultimately went with the regular Rogue
Did you keep the tiger?
Hi Katherine. Yes I’m keeping the Tiger. I'm not getting rid of it anytime soon. This is a new addition to the family - can't replace the Tiger.
I’m losing sleep trying to decide between the bobber and rogue.
Both are great. I like the way the Rogue handles over the Bobber. I think the 19” wheel makes a difference.
2:20 I'm good thanks
😃
get the piggy back shocks, add ground clearance and the ride is WAY better
Thanks. I ended up getting Progressive 4444s. It was between those and the Piggybacks but I found a really good deal on the Progressives. The ride is SOOO much better now.
Mate you look like BitBoy without the redneck haircut. Yeah I think Im going to go with the Rogue. Thanks for the vid.
Haha yea I guess I do kind of like him. Enjoy the Rogue when you get it.
How old are you? I AM riding a indian scout bobber. 😅😅
I'm not really THAT old but I've spent most of my career behind a computer. So my back isn't in the best of shape. I could've just added mini apes to a Bobber to make it more comfortable for me but I like the larger diameter tire on the Rogue and it already comes with mini apes.
Happy with $600 aftermarket shocks, lol. Tired of these companies selling expensive bikes with shitty seats and suspension. Bike plus tax out the door, and another $3k for shocks, a seat and exhaust system? How is it that we find this acceptable?
Haha Yea, happy with the aftermarket shocks - not happy I had to pay an additional 600 for comfort. I agree cheaping out on things that affect the ride is a shitty and I guess it's acceptable because people are still buying these bikes. I'm guilty of that obviously. Manufactures sacrificing comfort for profits shows to me there is a lack of focus on customer satisfaction which would attribute to lower sales and lack of brand loyalty. If it's all about the ride then make it a good ride.
I'm all for adding accessories to make it your own but having to modify the bike because it's a rough ride is ridiculous. I can say the same thing for the cheap OEM batteries companies install on their new bikes. Without a battery tender they don't last more than a year in a lot of cases. Thanks for the comments and watching the video.
Does it have cruise
No cruise. It’s pretty basic. No real bells or whistles just a fun ride.
@@timetomoto I just bought my 2023 scout rouge sixty today!! Drove it home. Titanium steel color matte finish!!
@@jlaw6411 dude that’s awesome 👏
Congrats
Why not put a bag on the other side ?
I didn’t see that same bag for the other side but it probably exists. One is enough for now. It’ll help me only pack what I need. I’m sure I’ll end up with matching quick release bags at some point in the future.
Je serais étonné de trouver une pièce indian sur cet intruder
L'intrus est Susuki donc je serais également surpris.
If you liked the bobber more. You could've just have bought the bobber and upgraded the seat and put the mini apes on 🤷♂️
I’m aware everything is interchangeable in these bikes with subtle trim differences but I prefer the larger low profile front wheel that made the handling feel better to me. So I decided to buy the one that had the trim package I prefer already instead of buying the bobber and turning into a Rogue. Either bike is an excellent choice though. Thanks for watching.
Weird continuity... mirrors facing up one shot and facing down another lol
Good eye. Yea I switched them in the middle of filming different shots.
Nice looking bike
Thanks!
