Thanks for watching! The Scout is an awesome platform to learn on and can be very rewarding as your first bike. I just sold a 69 cubic inch Scout to a first-time motorcycle buyer and he's super happy with his decision to spend a bit extra and get a bike he can grow alongside.

Thanks for watching! Ride safe. 😎

Indian does offer reduced reach handlebars if you're concerned with being able to reach. You can really customize the scout platform to be set up ideally for your dimensions.

Hey, I appreciate the subscription! Glad you enjoyed it. I've got a decent catalog of other videos you might like if you want to check them out. Thanks for watching and ride safe. 😎

Mini apes or the reduced reach bars if you don’t want your hands higher. Happy riding! 😄

Thanks for watching! Ride safe. 💪😎

Thanks for watching. 😎

Glad to hear it. Thanks for watching! You’re not nervous, you’re excited! 😁 It can only go as fast you tell it to. Just practice plenty and keep your head on a swivel. Ride safe. 😎

Hey how is it going trying to pick one up myself

Nice...I'm your exact age and I'm thinking of getting one. I'm a little nervous being a beginner. Any advice you can give me....thanks.

@@digidrum2003 In Pennsylvania we have free motorcycle training classes offered by the state. If you take the class you "graduate" with a motorcycle license. It is part classroom, part riding in a huge parking lot. They provide the motorcycle. This class was excellent. I would definitely suggest taking a class first, even if not in Pa. Then just start slow. I bought it last summer and tried to ride a little each day. I don't ride in the rain or bad conditions. I found back roads and just rode. I am getting more comfortable now. I have been on the highway a few times. I don't love that but it is nice to let the engine rip. These bikes are powerful. Mostly I drive 40 miles per hour on back roads though. I also feel comfortable because I bought a nice helmet and boots and a jacket and gloves. So at least I am a little protected from road rash. So far no spills. Mostly, just enjoy.

@@wingersfan Thanks for the tips. I live in Texas and I have found a class near my home. Be safe out there!

Hey there, a solid question with reasonable concern. The Bobber (and the scout platform altogether really) is going to have you pretty cramped. You might be able to swap a set of extended reach handlebars from Indian's website to help a little, but your knees are likely going to be above the tank when you sit on it and the bike is going to feel small no matter what. For your height, I'd recommend an Indian Chief. It's a slightly larger frame motorcycle and it's only 100LBS heavier. Your height is going to be the biggest challenge for these low-slung cruiser motorcycles. One option you might look into is the Vulcan 650 S from Kawasaki - They offer the ergo-fit option for the platform at no additional cost through a Kawasaki dealership when you buy new. It's a beginner-friendly motorcycle that will provide you with more comfort, which will give you an overall better riding experience. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching.

@@Omni_Moto Thanks for the advice, I'll keep those in mind. Definitely going to have to go sit on a couple different bikes too just to see how they feel

The Fat Boy will feel very similar in terms of ergonomics, but of course the engine characteristics and power delivery will be completely different. Enjoy your Scout Sixty for what it has to offer, and upgrade when you're ready! 😄 Ride safe and thanks for watching.

Play your cards right and have em both. Wife joked about me learning to stunt ride both of mine at once. Glad she understands about boys and their toys. Enjoy that bad boy and be safe.

This horse would be a nice addition to your stable! I'm sure your other 2 could use a friend.

@@Omni_Moto agree they have a ruby red paint that's a showstopper

@@Omni_Moto was playing around building one on Indian website. Quickly got over 15k from under 11k. I will buy someone else's midlife crisis bike with 1000 miles eventually and save 7k. Dig both scout and the 60.

Thanks for watching!

Hey Jerry, appreciate the input. In terms of cruisers, there are definitely some better options out there for beginners from the Japanese OEMs. In terms of what Indian Motorcycle is offering though, this is somewhat viewed as their “beginner” or “entry level” motorcycle since it is the most budget friendly and lowest CC available. It definitely provides more than enough power for its chassis though, which can be good for teaching throttle control/discipline. The flip side to that is the abundance of power can increase the chance of punishing a new/beginner rider if they are not paying attention and respecting the throttle. Your continued viewership is appreciated. Always appreciate some intelligent feedback from viewers with first-hand experience. Thanks for sharing. Ride safe. 👍

I agree with you that it not a beginner bike! 1000cc bikes are not beginner bikes! Stick with 500 to 650 ccs for beginner bikes!

I am very comfortable with my seat on my Scout.

@@robertlamont9712 exactly. I really don't know what my buddy was complaining about

Hey there Astro! The bobber sixty IMO is a bit of a lateral move when it comes to it being a 2nd bike because it's such a beginner friendly motorcycle, but you can still romp on it and have fun with it. Since you asked for my opinion, I think you should go for the standard Scout Bobber. I did a video on that one a while ago that's not edited quite as nicely as this one, but showcases some of the performance difference between the models. It's got a bit more power and uses the same chassis with minimal differences aside from a few cosmetic bits as well as engine performance. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching and ride safe. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sNJprdOntrWXk2Q.html

For what you described, the 650 is the best choice if you want to stick with the NK series. It would have a far better time handling highway speeds than the little 300NK. However, the 650NK is a very old design paired with a fancy display. In my opinion it is over-weight and under-powered in its class, and CF already produces a better bike for just a little more moolah 💰 Personally, I’d recommend you go for the CL-X 700 instead. It has cruise control, 2 throttle modes, and it weighs less. Only $300 more for the standard CL-X, and for $700 more you could even get the CL-X Sport with Brembo brakes. Hope this helps.

@@Omni_Moto I’ll definitely look into it for sure thanks my guy!!!

Hey there Waynesville! IMO, The Scout would be a diagonal step from a Yamaha Bolt. Slightly forward, but also slightly lateral since weight/power are staying in the range of the Bolt. I think a Chief would be the most logical next step if you were looking to upgrade since it is a true middleweight. The Interceptor or Meteor will both be much more relaxed engines that are not as rowdy, and provide a very basic riding experience. They're not the most thrilling motorcycles in the world, but they are very simple and mechanical. I've actually reviewed both on my channel if you want to get some more insight. Thanks for the great question! Ride safe.

@@Omni_Moto thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

Agreed 👍

yes

Hi Furious, as far as I know the Scout Bobber Sixty is available for purchase in India. I don't know cost, and I don't know what impacts the motor vehicle acts would have on it in that part of the world. I am not familiar with India’s motor vehicle acts. Sorry I could not be more help.

Ok Bro.. I think its possible to buy ....

You should fit on the bike fairly well. As long as your inseam isn’t super low, you should find confidence when hopping into the saddle. Go check one out in a showroom if you have the opportunity!

the more you know 🌈⭐

Should be able to get your feet firmly planted, but it will depend on your inseam at that point. 👍

Soon you will want 1200... lol

I’ll stop calling out ur mom when she stops calling 📞 me 😤😤

@@Omni_Moto 😂😂😂😂

Suspension and seat is a little rough over road imperfections. You can improve it with upgraded shocks and an aftermarket seat or the Indian factory seat.
