That's awesome, it is going to be a great first bike and it leaves room in the garage to get another HAHAHA. I think I would take it in all black as well if I were to get one other than the 101. I have met Brandon before, cool guy, it would be nice to do some sort of collab.

Just took a test drive of this one today and Wow it feels Great! This is the second bike I ridden😅 first one was at the Motorcycle saftey course... still this was such a great ride!! Can't wait to go out and buy it soon

@@miguelledezma5239 awesome!!🤙🏿

Thanks Cue! It was a blast to ride this bike lol very fun.

Thank you, I appreciate you checking out the video/channel. Good to hear it was beneficial for you. They really are some great bikes!🤙🏿

@@FinesseTheChallenger yes sir! love to see a fellow smaller channel making great content like this! thanks again!

That would be my choice as well, however, the "standard" models are really really good lol.

Certified!!!!!🔥🔥💯

Yes indeed, and thanks J!

Thanks, that's awesome. I am a bit new to the Scout game, but those bikes are just pure fun!

Yup there are some out there running strong

Thanks, JD I really appreciate it... that means a lot!

Thanks for checking out the video, yeah, she was really cool. She was on her way out but took some time to discuss her bike and let us know about the Hinesville Bikelife FB group!

Niiiiice, pre-congrats! It really is a wonderful machine... I know the wait is the worst lol.

Very clean Octane too... it was well kept by the previous owner. The Scout Classic is nice looking, I think I prefer those fenders over the bobber style I am just not a fan of chrome.

Absolutely, the Scout is a great bike in any version of it. The outgoing engine and the new 1250 speedplus just loves the throttle. I’m looking at a Chief as well to add to the garage those just like the rest of the lineup are really fun machines. Decisions are tough🤣🤣🤣

@@FinesseTheChallenger lol yes they are! If I'm getting a chief I'm not going to get rid of the scout. I've never ridden the chief yet but I also didn't ride the scout before I bought it. I only rode the little Honda monkey and then bought the scout and it was like going from a horse to a rocket in comparison. Lol!

@@axelfoley5155 🤣

I hear you, sometimes Darwin comes at you LOL... but I have seen the very first versions of the ride command systems on owned and used bikes and they still have full color and look good. TBH tho, I don't think there would be any issues with those screens or at least I have never heard of any issues... knock knock

Thanks much!

You’re welcome, thank you! I am 5’9”

The black smoke always holds a special spot in my brain, just a smooth sleek color.

😬😬 oh dang! That’s a tough spot to be in…a good spot lol but a tough one. Flip a coin, both choices are great

Thanks!

B.L.U.F. Yes, this smaller bike feels just as strong if not stronger than the 114. Hello D2B! 62, Happy Early Birthday!! If you enjoy OEM speed, Indian Motorcycle will give you what you are looking for. As far as the Scout goes, I have not tested a Scout against the 114 however, IMO it pulls harder than the 114 (going off of seat feel only) if you are comparing it against "touring bikes". However, the smaller HD bikes such as the 114 Street Bob or Fat Boy might be a different story... rightfully so because those are a different class of bikes. Does this bike have ooompf, absolutely! From your description, you are looking for something smaller that still gives you some fun and I think if you were to get your preferred trim of the Scout (base, limited, or limited +tech) with the Overnighter package it would fit your needs perfectly. These 25s should be shipping to dealerships now I would see if I could test drive one to make sure. On a side note... if you get the outgoing Bobber model that is just as fun with 5 less hp all the accessories from the new model will fit on that model too... outside of the engine guards I believe. Not only that they are running some good discounts now on the outgoing models as well.

@@FinesseTheChallenger thanks so much for the detailed feedback & advice. Greatly appreciate you. Safe riding my friend. And once you mentioned the Harley Bober with 114, my brain quickly switched gears as I have only owned Harley’s. Maybe it’s time to just test drive both bikes. Thanks again🙏

Great bike, hopefully you will be able to get it soon! Thanks for watching 🤙🏿

The engines do look different, but I think the 1250 fits with the aesthetic of the new styling, the body of the bike is a bit taller... give it some time it might grow on ya LOL... maybe?

Yeah, chives were made. I’d rather have the old style fuel cap too it just made more sense but since they added keyless you would have to fiddle with getting the key out… so on and so forth. However all the other options you get on the new model are just🔥🔥🔥

The 1250 is less flashy, it is a more simple style. But on the other hand... you will be zipping by so fast no one will see it LOL.

TBH, the bike still looks like a Scout and feels very much like the outgoing Scout but now you have options for the 4" ride command, key fob, suspension, and cruise control... However, I will say the tank felt much closer to my body which took some getting used to but all that melted away after a few minutes. The exhaust... I am not personally a big fan of it but, in most cases, people will be swapping it out anyway and I like the single slip-on look as opposed to the double.
