Ah, you're right. Now I want to pull it off and expose it.

@@BrandonBicasso great videos, keep em coming.

I appreciate that! Always working on improving each time I get a chance to do these.

dude outstanding details on the bikes and greet explanations! that white 101 is wooooooo weeeeeee thanks for spending my money 😂

Engineering and testing has come a long way.

That's awesome. It's a great platform and got me to Indian. A lot more will be pleased.

Indian ties these things together well

How tall are you?

@@speaktruth247 I'm 5'9". My 6'1" buddy also rode it and loved it! He's considering dropping his 21 scout for it.

@Slayer_syndicate that's good to hear, because I'm also 6'1 and was wondering about comfort.

@@speaktruth247 he's a newer rider, but he said he thinks he could add floorboards and be good. It honestly had me feeling a little stretched out but it was mean and I think I'd ride it anyways. Plus they've got different size risers now for the handlebars to help.

I rode with a few 6'+ folks and they also mentioned how riding the Sport/101 was tolerable. Floorboards and 10" risers made the difference. Lot of combinations to make it more comfortable. 6" risers is my sweet spot.

That or turn the scout classic into a Super. Just bolt the windshield and bags on. Same subframe.

I think they did it for price because the bobbers cost less so they give it the bob and that buys budget because their accessories arent cheap. I dont like the bobbed fender I like the classic fender too. I like caste wheels

Sure thing, Frank! So much more to cover haha.

Appreciate that.

Already have. Can't release road stuff until the 17th.

Lighter than most clutches. Has clutch assist with a slipper.

Yep, there's a slipper there.

When I get to these releases, I'm all work soon as I get there. I could've done a better job so I've learned from some mistakes on this one as well.

I think no one was concerned except you bro

nah man i feel you. i like the old look of the scout bobber way more.

Indiana makes a chief bobber

Glad you got value from it. Of course, test ride both if you can!

It does not. Standard ABS across the range. Only traction control on Limited and Limited+Tech trim.

@@BrandonBicasso Thanks for the answer, and strange that they skipped on this, but event without cornering ABS it still looks attractive.

Different type of ride but a good choice.

No idea. It was asked, but Indian doesn't release that info anymore.

Definitely get a good look when you can!

Im due to get first one in UK, june/july :)

@@user-ck2ed1eg1m ooo that’s gonna be exciting.

I struggled unreasonably to rethread that thing.

​@@BrandonBicassois the headlight lense made of plastic

Get that wallet warmed up.

You'll cook on most tbh. I was fine on this, personally. Heat was an afterthought compared to previous gen Scout.

I had some 50-60mpg moments while cruising for sure. I think the range will surprise some people. Will need more time with it to see for myself.

@@BrandonBicasso with gas prices being as bad as they are, this would be a great thing. Especially running high octane

I’m not sure. Did not have any mid controls available to try. Missed opportunity.

Well the new ones come with it from the factory in 2 out of the 3 trims on all models so, you shouldn't need to.

Lot of fun. Beautiful area.

@@BrandonBicasso good riding out here. 🤘⚡️🤘✨✨

I think so too. So many powder coating ideas 😂

The last one looked really good too I wish they sold that thing in a crate.

Yep, it's all an option.

Yes. Quick release. Same as windshield.

Very light pull. Almost too light tbh. Aimed at beginners tho.

@@BrandonBicasso Oh wow ok. I recently rode a 24' and thought the clutch felt pretty good. The difference will be interesting to see.

Eh.. at least 40. I had some moments of getting 50-60 while cruising in 6th gear. I think 140 is a good range to shoot for. I didn’t get a chance to test that extra 20ish mile range. I’m sure 180 miles is possible IF you ride the speed limit and in rain mode to empty. But riding sport mode with a fist full.. maybe 20mpg. That doesn’t include weight and hill terrain which eats mileage.

I have so many questions haha. Cool that the engineers were open to talk about a lot of it.

Glass lense headlight bro my 2008 kawasaki had it

That’s awesome. I had a LowRider S as well. Great platform.

Not without significant work. An engineer said with some wiring work, the screen can be added. Cruise control is a tough one. ECM doesn’t know what cruise control is so would require some work there. Also, you’d have to mess with the hand control wiring to get the left side working. Otherwise, you’d have a touch screen only which is probably fine for most.

Would that include fuel gauge??

@@yumib7962 negative. Different fuel float tech on the pump.

@@BrandonBicasso I saw Hemisphere performance made an aftermarket fuel gauge. Do you know anything about if it would be worth it? For now Iv been doing trip meters logs but I ran out of fuel once bc my light came on and then 5 miles later I ran out so that light basically is unreliable to me.

They all are tbh. 101 just a weebit more.

Essentially. The 240 can't work with the subframe or the fender. It's too wide. Same as previous gen Scout. You want the accessories on the rear, can't go bigger than 180.

I probably won't get a chance to touch a Super Cruiser in this detail but if I do, it will get the same treatment as Scout.

Likely, yes. Indian hasn’t released a bike that doesn’t allow that

That would be SUPER SICK. I’ve wanted carbon fiber covers for my ThunderStroke. Oil temps should be fine for the resin used to hold it all together. Glass radiator tubes would be awesome too.

Didn’t have access to one.

Good ole business games.

Yes

I’d like to think that’s been solved since it’s a new engine 😂

Yep. Another way to look at it.

With the new electronics added, battery is bigger. I don't recall how much bigger tho. AGM and not lithium also.

Thanks bro, always enjoy your videos.

Where i live them motorcyvle batteries shit the bed about every 2 years even if i always park in tbe garage because its so damn cold at night and hot in the day

Yes, option is in RideCommand. No TPMS sensors on the wheels from factory.

Single like previous Scout and the rest of the Indian lineup

I've heard maybe 63mm

Yes, other 6’+ riders I rode with were comfortable on the bike. They enjoyed the 10” riser set up most.

How long is it from your finger tip to your elbow brother i wonder how much of a role that plays 😂 what if you got short arms bit this oddly long torso

Could work. Barrier is the CAN BUS and whether the previous Gen Scout's ECM will accept that data. Previous Scout has a pin on the speedo for the fuel light, but Chief reads it through CAN so I assume the new Scouts will too. Someone should try it tho!

@@BrandonBicasso I believe the scout and octane gauge already have a spot on the cluster for the readout as well, just like on the new scout analog gauge. Will be looking into this soon

I definitely say give it a go. Even if not for you, ride it just cause.

That I don’t know but good question.

The ftrs are crazy

From a ‘25 classic? Probably only a few minutes. They all use the same sub frame. May even be able to make a pre ‘25 work.

@@BrandonBicasso yeah I like the brakes and suspension on 101 but I want that on classic scout. And the extra hp. You could do it as it seems. Just ends up costing way more. So putting fender on 101 may be much more cost effective. But I’ll have to sit on both and see.

Yeah, that makes sense. The front fender would be the challenge. Mounts differently on the forks.

I haven't kept up with it or know if the ECMS have been unlocked either. Hopefully someone else will chime in.

Woah duel sump plugs? At least take me out for dinner first you filthy animal

I like the classic limited with tech trim where its red with chrome. I want to look like i came out of peak 1960s like i just got elected president and im on my way in an open top chromed out automobile about to get my brains blown out by some disgruntled communists mobsters and potentially others if that suits your fancy. You know real iconic looking, you say damn it looks like the economy is booming from a post ww2 peace era or something.

Fair! Swap em out for the classic. Do have to paint tho..

Somebody gone cook a corner too hot and low side one or wheelie it into a tree. 😂

@@BrandonBicasso as long as the rider is ok. Bikes are rebuild able with enough 💰

always!

I want to so bad : (

@@BrandonBicasso i love this going around talking about all the design details. Would love to see you interview the designers and engineers

It’s not too bad but it’s partially a chore.

You’re talking to a dude that bought the same bike 4 times in a year 😂🤟🏾! Do it!

Yo I’m in the same exact boat as you 23 rogue will be crazy modded though!!

Must be a 23 rogue thing lol. I ordered a 101 and keeping the rogue as well.

Or just Indian. Unless it's a separate and independent company I don't care to see another brand.

I would. Sport Scout. I’d want to paint parts and powder coat the frame. Doing that to the 101’s paint wouldn’t sit right with me.

@@BrandonBicasso if someone wanted to get into indian would you recommend the scout or the chief bobber for an intermediate rider?

I think it depends on the rider's size/comfort on each one. They both are fast enough to get hurt. So, I would ask the person to ride both and pick the one they're most comfortable on. Then, if money isn't a problem, pick the one that has the character they like. Liquid/Air have different attitudes. Top end or Torque? I like my Chief for the torque and engine character. Plus, I've done a lot of work on it. But either bike is suited for various experience levels with power modes now.

Lol then buy a Chief and not a mid sized cruiser.

@@BrandonBicasso can't really say that B, what about the Low Rider, and Fat Boy the Softail is the "Mid sized" line up of HD and has a 5 gallon tank... I like the chief, and wish I would have gotten an Indian instead of the HD, but the range is what stopped me from purchasing a scout bobber back when they 1st came out.

@@RadioRahim01 We can agree to disagree. Chief/Fatboy/Low Rider are more beyond mid sized with their engine displacement and weight over 650 pounds. Softail Standard has a 3.5 gallon tank and starts at $15k. Chief has a 4 gallon tank and starts at $15k. Low Rider S has a 5 gallon tank and starts at $20k. Can do this all day. Nightster and Sportster S both have smaller gas tanks than Scout even if the amount is less than half a gallon. Companies go off the engine fueling, chassis and design requirements all while leaving enough out to warrant an upgrade. Some people wanted a 5 gallon tank on a Scout yet will complain how ridiculous a tank that size looks on a frame that small. If you want a bigger tank then Scout isn't the platform. Complaints about Chief's gas tank was a thing yet I got 230 miles out of it. Levels to it.

I can appreciate the knowledge you have on this, .. and that you mention it.. I can see how the Bobber scout and how the Sportster would line up in the same area... I appreciate this little convoy we had B, thanks for replying man

@@RadioRahim01 that’s just my perspective, G. I just ride what speaks to me and worry about the rest later, but it’s a good conversation to have.

Of course you could, with a bit of work.

Several 6’+ riders enjoyed riding it. Forwards, extended reach seat with 10” risers. 👌🏾

@@BrandonBicasso yep. But I look like a monkey humping a football on small frame bikes...

Well, caring about looks and function are two different things lol.
