Saw it, rode one and it's nice for what it is.....but the Yamaha Bolt is similar styling and just as fun to ride without spending nearly as much. Neither of those bikes would be something I would spend money on bags, shield or the like.... They are fun little rides meant to be enjoyed as they are I think.

IF I had just shy of 11 G I'd do a lot of upgrades AND travel more on my Phatt Ghurl. And with "only" forward controls my old tired body cain't frikkin handle the one position. RIDE SAFE.

Saw it and rode it as well. I loved it, for what it was, a sporty, well handling go out and thrash on it fun motorcycle. Funny thing though, after riding those new Indians, we all got back on our Valks and were reminded once again why we own them.

Hmm, interesting.
Doesn't interest me but, not a bad looking bike. If the only choices were the Indian Scout or HD Sportster, I'd be riding the Scout. And, based on what was in the advertisement, I'd be well ahead of the HD back in the pack.

Why not design a bike based on the merits of the bike rather than the name. This bike looks good but its not a Indian its a new well designed bike that needs to blaze its own trail. I would not buy one Im like others in still not wanting to go backwards in cylinder envy. But its nice to see a new offering thanks.

.......it's made by Indian so it has t be the Indian something....and their whole gig is reviving old model names and updating them.
The scout would be fun but not for me. The Roadmaster, perhaps

I would never give up the Valk for either one. I road the Roadmaster, YAAAAAWN! It looks good though. |

Between the Scout, Sportster, and the Bolt.
My personal choice would be the Bolt.
Faster than the Sportster, but not as fast as the Scout.
I just fell in love with the Bolt's "Neo-Bobber" looks and the fact that the basic motor has been around since the early eighties in several displacements from 920 to 1100 cc's.

Out of those three I would choose the Scout hands down. The difference in power would be the difference for me. Nice to have a hundred HP on a lighter bike.

If I was looking for such a bike, this is the one I'd buy. You can never have too much horsepower or too high a power to weight ratio.

Mine finally arrived only a couple weeks later than expected. Cold ride home but so far it's exactly what I wanted. Fast, comfortable, relatively light and great handling. I think it compliments the other bikes well.  |
