@CurtisHaley 8 лет назад

This bike is so much better than he has described. 100HP wet weight is 550lbs. Top speed is 130 MPH electronically governed. This bike is a 69 Cubic Inch, 1133 CC Sport Cruiser. It eats 1200 sportsters for lunch. Redline is close to 8000 RPM. Beats 110 Cubic Inch CVO harleys easily. It is a high revving, high horsepower motorcycle. I own one, and sell them for a living. Buy this thing with confidence.

@saoirsethewanderer 7 лет назад

Yea, I don't get these reviewers and commenters who compare it to the Harley 1200. It isn't even close to it. It has a totally different feeling and revs so much higher. It eats the performance of the 1200 Sportster for breakfast. Now that isn't to say there aren't flaws but it is way better than the Sportster unless you just want a bike with noise and name.

@MR-kg9rc 7 лет назад

Curtis Haley the scout is heads and shoulders above the hd sportster 883/ hd 48 1200. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't had a ride of the scout

@wilmara24 7 лет назад

Curtis Haley hey man I know you posted this over a year ago, but I'm 6'3 225 pounds and wanted to know if you think I'm too big for this bike. I really want one of these but I am afraid that my size will fck me over upon buying this bike.

@saoirsethewanderer 7 лет назад

I am almost 6'3" and about 210 or so. I fit the bike ok but it is really all what you feel when you ride it. I like the size. It is definitely a short bike compared to some but some people like it that way. I do like it over the HD Sportster and as I said below, it performs much better in every way.

@_NoBuddyCares 7 лет назад

Curtis Haley I want one so bad I'm obsessing over it. I'll have one and when I do it's going to be in great hands.

@jacoblambert4149 9 лет назад

I never wanted a bike more than i want this one, indian is such a classic. This is a very nice bike.

@sjcea0512 7 лет назад

jacob lambert nothing classic about Polaris Indian !! I'm sorry to say

@faewix2892 7 лет назад

Just because Polaris bought Indian doesn't mean they didn't stay true to the classic styling.

@jennydiazvigneault5548 7 лет назад

Indian has been around forever, regardless who owns it, therefore classic.

@Lavaman3682 8 лет назад

Whatever you may think of the result, these are far and away the best review videos (audio quality, image quality, comments, no stupid rock music, et cetera) out there. Thanks for review

@RobertBrumley60 9 лет назад

I don't understand how you say it's a small engine. Everybody's math is wrong on this thread. Indian Scout is 100 HP 69ci motor which is 1130cc. Harley 883 is 60hp 53.9ci which is 883cc. Harley 883 is $2000 cheaper than the Indian Scout. For a reason, there is no comparison between the two.

@richicamacho7989 6 лет назад

Looks and size. But you're right it's like comparing a Corolla and a Lexus IS

@RobertMeany 6 лет назад

Original comment was 2 years ago.. Not sure if the scout sixty was out then.. But that would be a better comparison to the 883. I'd say the Sixty is still superior to the 883, from a purely technical standpoint, at least.

@suburbanhobbyist2752 6 лет назад

He didn't seem to do his research before taking this test ride. It is most definitely not comparable to the 883. A closer match would be the Sportster 1200 but even then it's a different animal. Hard to compare with Harley. Definitely much more horsepower and a longer and much higher RPM torque range. He seems to start to understand that the torque really kicks in above 4000 rpm. Classic Harley rider who is used to low RPM torque and is constantly shifting the Scout before they hit the powerband. Basically he was comparing half the Scouts power because he never let it out properly.

@georgecostanza2695 4 года назад

Richi Camacho technically its sized between a Sportster and a Dyna, but we're only talking a couple inches either way anyways. But regardless, this guy doesn't seem to understand liquid cooled engines. The most powerful Harley (Vrod) was 1130cc's.

@derekhunter8299 8 лет назад

It outperforms the Harley 883 because Harley is and always has been a sub-par machine.

@RobAshMotoVlogs 9 лет назад

Wow man, they are such beautiful bikes, aren't they? Nice. I have to admit I wasn't really interested in Indian's until I saw the Scout. Excellent 'real life' review there mate. great stuff.

@bigmacdaddy1234 9 лет назад

Rob Ash why would you not have been interested in Indian before the Scout. They make the best looking motorcycles in history.

@RobAshMotoVlogs 9 лет назад

***** Sorry mate, just not my style. But the Scout is a corker!

@automotivelastproduction6959 7 лет назад

Nice review. I like it when the presenter is honest and not too scripted.

@leewhaley552 5 лет назад

I bought the '18 bobber. Best bike I've ever owned in my 50 years of riding. Great handling, power and rock-solid stable in the corners. Rough over potholes but that's the trade-off for great handling

@meandme7160 7 лет назад

Possibly the best bike review, certainly the best Scout review = Thanks!!! Very informative and good advice on both good and bad aspects - think you just convinced me to buy one ;-)

@jamessilba6345 8 лет назад

Ndn has never left my dad rode one I got on Harleys but a ndn will be in my garage esp a 03 gilroy chief with the bottle top end but the new ones with the retro style 80 flathead design is really a old school flow with new soul glad to see them out there ride safe bandit

@Roadghost88 9 лет назад

"Small" V-twin? It's a 69CID engine, or 1000cc+. Since when is that a small engine? If that's the case, marketing of unnecessarily big engines has reached new heights in the motorcycling world. It's a nice bike and Indian is selling lots of them. You won't need a more powerful engine for doing anything.

@c0c0asauce 9 лет назад

Roadghost88 Some people want to go really fast. 140cc bike + me = 270lbs = 75 mph, I'm really not one of those people.

@Roadghost88 9 лет назад

c0c0asauce A friend of mine back in the day was 6'8" and 280. He had an FJ1100. Could blast by anyone all day in the twisties with it. We're not talking 140cc. But a 280lb guy does need at least 400cc to start with.

@hokogan 9 лет назад

Roadghost88 It's just that modern idea that you need 100+ CI to have a "man's bike." Utter BS, really.

@Roadghost88 9 лет назад

hokogan Exactly. It's an idea pushed by the idiots in the popular motorcycle media to get people to $pend more money buying more motorcycle than they will ever use and they play a false macho game to do it. I've read articles where they recommend 600cc 150mph sport bikes as a "great first bike". Well, I'm sure it certainly is until something goes wrong that a novice can't correct. Ludicrous.

@hokogan 9 лет назад

Personally, even though I'm 6'3", I prefer the feel of the Scout. It's nimble and proportioned like a pre-cruiser-weight-gain bike. It takes a mighty heave to get a Chief off the side stand.

@OpenRoader 8 лет назад

Have been really enjoying these video's. Obviously, getting out a riding one myself is what I need to do, but you really go deep on the info. This Scout looks amazing. Your review sounded very positive across the board. Thanks for taking the time!

@DGoingCommando 9 лет назад

I rode a scout the other day, and it's a very sporty cruiser. It's an easy transition for anyone used to sport bikes. I had a great time on it, but I didn't like how whistle-esque the engine sounded. Exhaust on the other hand was very musical.

@txgamer1347 8 лет назад

Getting my motorcycle license over the summer, and this is the main motorcycle I've had my eye on for when I go looking to buy. Great review :)

@beasthunt 8 лет назад

Sweet man. Same here. I'm about to sign up for the driving course. This bike looks nice. I've been looking at the VTX 1300 but this is amazing looking. I actually want a quiet bike for now, so I may have to try to find one.

@txgamer1347 8 лет назад

Nice, my course is this coming weekend. My friend has been looking at the Kawasaki Vulcan S. It is a good looking bike, sort of a cross between cruiser and sport, but leaning more towards cruiser.

@exexpat11 9 лет назад

Small frame, maybe. Small motor? Close to a V-Rod and around the 1200 Sportster. If the power is 100Hp with a flat torque band that compares it will smoke all Sportys. My concern would be the flat, slant, almost lay down rear shocks. How does it absorb potholes feel wise? Gauge better than a Bolt. Looks like Indian has a winner! Not a copy. It is a stand alone bike and that is good!

@rumbachumba330 9 лет назад

Just a note, this is competition for the sporter 1200 they have the same size of the motor, this isn't an 883 motor, it's also a 1200.

@RobertBrumley60 9 лет назад

***** Sorry your wrong. It's a 1000 motor.

@rumbachumba330 9 лет назад

Robert Brumley My wrong what? 69 cubic inches is 1130 cc its closer to 1200 than it is to 1000 a lot of brands round up, like a honda cbr 600 might be actually a 565.

@drifterawh 9 лет назад

Robert Brumley Its 1133 an yes it compares to 1200 sporster.

@thejerseyj1636 5 лет назад

100 HP out of 1133 CC's is a lot of power for that size. The Honda VTX 1800 puts out 108 HP. Only 8 more from another 667 CC's. Indian had some fantastic engineering to make that power. I want one !

@Kris_Stiletto 9 лет назад

Love this Indian... :)

@ryanzaninovich9451 9 лет назад

Strange that you scraped the pegs so easily. I just picked a Scout up the other day. I have literally tried to scrape the pegs because I wanted to see how much it would take. I still haven't been able to do it after 100 miles. Maybe they changed them somehow since you made the video? Also, as others have pointed out, it's much closer to a Sportster 1200, but with the seat so low it honestly felt more like a softail slim to me....a softail slim with a much sportier and faster feel.

@MrBurgandy25 9 лет назад

Oh gosh, the guy that starts to ramble on at 0:27... 0:38 and uh...0:46 its amazing what they did with... ever talk to someone and the second they speak you wish you could tell them to never speak again?

@Bikergramp57 6 лет назад

Hysterical!! I thought the SAME thing!!

@robertbrandywine 6 лет назад

No situational awareness at all that Bryan was trying to do a VLOG commentary on the appearance of the bike.

@H3aleme 8 лет назад

THIS IS GORGEOUS, pure and simple.

@uthrus 8 лет назад

Sorry. Didn't mean to obsess. Just two comments. I do enjoy your reviews. I've seen a whole lot of them.

@Direct_Home_Inspections 9 лет назад

I want to see this bike with a passenger rider on it. Thats the only thing i'm worried about

@KidScipio 8 лет назад

isn't this closer to the v-rod than the sportster. it revs higher like the vrod, it is liquid cooled like the v-rod, seems angled like the v-rod. its like a smaller v-rod with a more upright riding position

@thetrissynashville 6 лет назад

KidScipio performance wise yes, price wise it’s closer to the Sportster 😂

@MladenMijatov Год назад

Who doesn't love cruiser bike review without the sound of a crusier bike.

@video3ish 9 лет назад

Nice real review mate,appreciated. May i ask what your voice recording on (device/mic) as you ride ? So clear & no background noise. Often its screaming over wind noise.

@howierader8917 9 лет назад

Thank you so much for this review on the legendary balance of power & control...scout by the eagle motorcycle company! Just one of five bikes I'm looking into purchase this spring and your video helped me a lot. Especially when you spoke about your tailbone on the OME saddle. Thanks again!

@pjamese3 8 лет назад

Love the Scout, but even with the Stage 1's on it, the bike still sounds whisper-quiet. If I bought this bike, the 1st thing I'd have to do would be to throw some Vance & Hines Grenades on it.

@brendonfone5578 6 лет назад

That doesn't have a stage one kit on it, whoever told him it did was wrong the exhaust has black tips the stage ones are chrome ended.

@uthrus 8 лет назад

Why would you refer to this as a "smaller engine?" 1133 cc's is not a small engine. Sure, there are bigger engines, but I would never call an engine on the north side of 1,000 cc's small.

@TwoWheelObsession 8 лет назад

+Ken Thompson because large cruisers are north of 1800. Smaller is a relative term

@suburbanhobbyist2752 6 лет назад

It seems like he didn't do his research and was dead set on comparing it to the 883. Someone, at the time, must have mistakingly given him bad info. Once you get trapped into a preconceived notion like that it's hard to get away from it. It was funny watching as he slowly realizes it isn't small at all as the power keeps proving that. The saddest part though is that he never really hit the actual powerband for any meaningful amount of time to discover the true power. That's what you get with HD riders who expect all the torque to be gone anywhere over 4000 rpms. I wonder what he would have thought if he had ridden it properly and was shifting in the mid 5 to over 6000 range!? In any event, no, it's isn't small in anyone's relative terminology. Mid range if anything.

@Marc-NZ Год назад

So this review was about vibrations, Indian Scout is an execelente project...

@patrickjoseph9566 8 лет назад

Did the front suspension seem weak? We can tell an experienced rider -- staying in the tracks of the traffic tires, not in the center of the lane. Nice video!!

@Trukerinfulleffect 9 лет назад

Great review,thanx for posting,Indian is in a great location now,last year I tested a bike at their old location off of ocean dr, middle of town,lo

@TheLastXeno 9 лет назад

I was literally just where this video was shot Haha! I was simply looking for a video on the scout and I also ride a 883, this was perfect thank you! ^_^

@Scobieone111 9 лет назад

love these vids....going to buy one next year (i think :))

@tomtardif4387 8 лет назад

2015 Indian Scout Horsepower (HP) 100 (74.7 kW) Engine Type Liquid Cooled V-Twin Displacement 69 cu in so much better than the Sportster.But they need to put the mirrors out more. My arms were in the way. I ride a big tour bike and I liked the ride it gave. The mirrors would go...lol Like he said they SUCK...lol

@Burnersforvanlife 5 лет назад

You can not compare this to a 883, well you can, the 883 is a toy for girls compared to the 1130 . I have had a 1200 sportster with edelbrock everything, the scout eats it for breakfast. I have had a vrod and will probably go back to a vrod cvo if I ever get rid of my scout. Currently my scout is and I think in the future, exude class more than any harley!

@BaggerBro 8 лет назад

lol right down the street from my house.. lol main question is did you do lunch at Rachel's? I ended up buying a 2014 dyna fat bob ... seat suck.. but I love the sloppiness of the harley engine. the 103 kicks ass ...

@dirkirsche4321 8 лет назад

I had a Harley Custom (1200) that was very unbalanced and i didn't realize it for 3 years until I bought a Heritage. Gawd I love that bike. But, I was just thinking that this Scout has to be way more balanced going thru corners. Just for comparison.

@sugarnads 9 лет назад

youre making me glad I bought my Honda VT750s instead of an 883. My Honda easily pulls from 60kph ( 35mph ) in top. The indian sounds like a good move. BTW its more comparable to a 1200 sportster, which is the other bike im thinking about.

@MrLeeflemwell 8 лет назад

I had a Hyosung GV700. That pulled 50mph in first. 😜

@bennybumb8126 4 года назад

Did many people dropped the bike at higher speeds of when they came to a stop without keeping the handlebar straight? Like to know.

@1RamTough 4 года назад

Victory and Indian are both made by Polaris, well they were before Victory was discontinued.

@uthrus 8 лет назад

Not too many are north of 1800. Kawi 2000 Trumph Rocket III, a few others, but I ride a 1500 & I think that's quite large. You're right though...it's relative I guess.

@TwoWheelObsession 8 лет назад

You're seriously stuck on this? Lol yeah nevermind all the Yamaha 113s and oh yeah the Harley 110s. Just a few of those out there.

@1400IntruderVS 9 лет назад

Keep saying 883 but the Scout is really slotted between an 883 and the 1200 int both displacement and price. I would not consider it a small V-twin. An otherwise great review.

@paulgregroy1986 9 лет назад

Hi Sir! That was very professional,seems like the indians seems to be quite good.im in the uk and they are expensive over here.im a yamaha Xvs1300 Rider, so i.dont think the Indian is for me! Love the look of them.thanks.

@dennisblume702 9 лет назад

I'm really curious how this compares to my Honda Magna V45. I've been waiting for a mid-light weight cruiser with some real power to come along, I think this is my next bike.

@jwpalmer24 6 лет назад

It would be about the same, maybe even a little slower in the upper rpms, you'd notice the biggest difference in the off idle performance.

@60fitandvegan89 8 лет назад

Put this engine in a cafe' style frame with with 18" wheels front and rear and a read tank and that Indian logo, and I'm onboard in a heartbeat !

@russellcupples2170 8 лет назад

I am subscribed to you and here's what people want to know and I know it's hard to remember all this stuff .What functions they have ,handling,braking Horsepower ratings Torque of engine .,size of engine ( CC and CI )How many speeds ,Redline, MPG, Price

@InformalGreeting 8 лет назад

That may be what you want to know, but it doesn't interest me at all. I can easily find the ratings for HP, torque, engine size, and transmission. That information is available on a hundred different websites. What is difficult to find is an unbiased opinion about how the bike feels and functions. Before watching the video I knew the bike was rated at 100 hp and 72.2 ft lbs coming from a dohc 69 ci motor mated to a six speed transmission. I didn't know that the seat was a bit uncomfortable in the tailbone area or that the switches appeared cheap and toy like. Now I do... and that's why I watched the video.

@gatesb7757 8 лет назад

Great review. Would you test ride the new scout sixty to compare it to the 883?

@shousebrandon9870 9 лет назад

I don't know why this guy is comparing it to a 883. When it is closer to a 1200. A lot of difference in engine size and power. Might as well been comparing it to a 750 shadow...

@stevecalovich3682 2 года назад

Dealer BS. I rode every new Harley, the Live Wire 3 times (110 mph). I demoed one Indian, not this model but the popular one that's supposed to be the perfect mix of sport and cruiser. I would not trade my Sportster 48 (bought it new in 2014), for any other Harley model or that Indian wonder bike. The riding position was horrible.

@jerimymccray 9 лет назад

That bike is 1100cc. is that really small? I guess it depends on the bike style because on a sportsbike and engines can do wonders on the open road.

@laylabono4035 8 лет назад

I will buy one this summer,good looking bike I love it WA State.

@paulk9188 8 лет назад

Great review, love my Scout, just be prepared to change out the tires, night and day difference

@hooahayes 7 лет назад

Paul K what tires did you go with? I swapped out to the Commander II's and I really like them, great treadwear compared to stock and better wet and dry grip.

@paulk9188 7 лет назад

hooahayes I actually traded in the scout for the Springfield before I needed new tires. But I hear the Michelin Comander II's are pretty damn good for the Scout. Keep the shiny side up friend.

@hooahayes 7 лет назад

Paul K I am peanut butter and jealous. I'm looking at the Springfield now, but not sure my budget can handle it until I pay off the Scout.

@Quagmire88 8 лет назад

I did hear from a lot of people that the suspension is kinda crap. Too soft in the front and the rear is surprisingly stiff. Beautiful looking bike though.

@ModernDayTemplar606 8 лет назад

Compare it to a Harley Davidson XL1200T and adjust the shocks correct before you start riding.

@hooahayes 7 лет назад

James Shaffer It still beats it in every comparison I've read. Same with the Scout 60 and 883 match up.

@georgecostanza2695 4 года назад

Scout is a 6 speed, the Scout 60 is a 5 speed. It does not compare to a Sportster; the engine is actually more comparable to a Vrod.

@leewhaley552 5 лет назад

I really like your videos. Too bad you have to test ride on those boring Florida roads

@justinjones1644 8 лет назад

Man, the lead guy spends more time with 1/3 of his bike over the line... Have a whole lane and I can't believe how many riders somehow end up in two! At a light, with more oil, okay maybe. but the lane position of camera bike (with regard to the edge of the lane) is much more appropriate.

@kansastennessee281 8 лет назад

I love watching your videos. Could you please review a Hayabusa? Thanks

@blackhawk2475 9 лет назад

Very informative demo ride. You mentioned briefly something about the Vstar. Being I just bought the 1300, can you give a brief critique about it? I try to watch all of your demo rids and don't remember you demoing the Vstar. If you did and I missed it, let me know the video name so that I may "share" the ride. Thanx again BG.

@TwoWheelObsession 9 лет назад

Blackhawk 247 I rode one when they first came out, but obviously I'm sure they have changed since then. No video of them yet except what you see. On RU-vid just click Playlists to see everything, that's the easiest way. Thanks for watching!

@themotofixery 6 лет назад

@hooahayes 7 лет назад

Scotish nightmare The Scout or Scout 60 are great for women with the low seat height and low center of gravity.

Hows this compare to your boulevard?? Ive got an s50 myself

@jackloganbill605 8 лет назад

Victory now has something to compete with the scout.... :)

@JohnBrowningsGhost 8 лет назад

Maybe because victory and Indian are the same motorcycles with different badging?

@rontobisch9765 7 лет назад

gday Brian, can you give me your take on this Indian scout , against the Triumph Thunderbird storm, would really like to hear your opion on these 2 bikes, trying to see which one is good for me, and i know you are the person to ask, cheers mate

@TwoWheelObsession 7 лет назад

I would love to but I have not ridden a Thunderbird yet. I haven't even seen one on the streets, they are nothing popular here.

@davehammond5614 9 лет назад

IMNSHO... Polaris really screwed-up by not giving their bigger bikes a water-cooled engine. I'm still looking for a "Chub Scout" to replace my Fat Bob. The Scout is so nice... It makes today's Sportster buyers look like real Dumbasses.

Looking to get my motorcycle endorsement within the next few months. I found a 2003 Scout at a dealer by me that is absolutely gorgeous. Can anyone experienced steer me towards a good first bike, that isn't a Japanese bike?

@arcticwanderer2000 8 лет назад

+BlackTopBlackMetal Remember, the Indians from 2003 were built by a completely different company than the ones produced now.

@arcticwanderer2000 8 лет назад

You'll get more performance and features from a japanese bike for the money you spend. I like USA made V Twins, so own a Sportster 883. If you like them, you can usually find one with low mileage for a few thousand dollars.

@rumbachumba330 9 лет назад

Hi, I read an article about this motorcycle being a great motorcycle for a first motorcycle, do you agree? I've ridden scooters and mini dirtbikes before but nothing with a clutch. (except cars with a clutch)

@mareksikorski9193 9 лет назад

***** I would say, maybe not. 100hp is a lot for a first timer. It's a flat torque curve tame 100, but it can sneak up on you and you'll be going into a croner a lot hotter than you thought.

Marek Sikorski The maximum lean angle on the video would suggest going to to corners fast would be very sketchy..

@mareksikorski9193 9 лет назад

c0c0asauce well yes it's no sportbike, but it's also not a full dresser with floorboards 2" off the road.

I will get my category A drivers licence ( for motorcycles ) when i hit 24 . Is this a good first bike ? I really love how it looks.

@Supernova12034 7 лет назад

its heavy and fairly powerful, so....no

@Setorrs 7 лет назад

Supernova12034 i'm 6'4 and and 280 pounds so i think i can handle something heavy

@Supernova12034 7 лет назад

Unless you can bench the bikes weight

@Setorrs 7 лет назад

Supernova12034 i can bench my weight and some :) , don t know how much the bike weights tho

@hooahayes 7 лет назад

At 6'4" you may be a bit cramped, even with the long reach seat and forward controls. Worth checking though as I am 6'1" and I use the standard seat and controls. if you are 250lbs plus get the uprated rear suspension, especially if you live in an area with lots of bumps/expansion joints/potholes. Larger riders like us tend to overwhelm the rear shocks a bit.

@mntnbkr2002 9 лет назад

Awesome review; you mentioned Victory not being comparable to this, is this because of engine size? I'm considering the Gunner or Vegas from Victory or the Stryker from Star; however, the Scout looks fantastic and easier to handle. Have you tested these as well?

@arkansasmotorcyclerides6090 8 лет назад

lean clearance would be the deal breaker for me...beautiful bike tho...

@hooahayes 7 лет назад

Arkansas Motorcycle Rides it has more lean clearance that a Sporty by 3 degrees, just the way it goes with cruisers. Really not that bad though if you use a forward and in turning method.

@ModernDayTemplar606 8 лет назад

why are you comparing it to a 883 when it is a 1200 Harley 1200 has a lot more torque and power.

@russellcupples2170 8 лет назад

Power wise how does it compare to a 1200 sportster ??

@TwoWheelObsession 8 лет назад

More!

@russellcupples2170 8 лет назад

That's what I figured . I have a 2004 Honda VTX 1300 and it's very stout .I will out pull a 96 Cube Harley Dyna 2010 model but I want another bike

@SpudsMcHaggis 8 лет назад

+Russell Cupples Having ridden both the 1200 sporty is very anemic compared to the Scout. The Scout out classes the sporty by a country mile!

@russellcupples2170 8 лет назад

I didn't know but I figured so .Thank you for your response /

@themaxrider 8 лет назад

+Russell Cupples After riding the sportster many miles and many of them, this new Scout makes them feel like an antique! Every single aspect of this new bike puts the harley to shame. I would think they would realize this and stop making them, but as stubborn as they are, they will milk that thing out to the bitter end! It's outdated compared to all other comparable bikes and brands!

@TankAssTanner 9 лет назад

TwoWheelObsession Yea I was wondering the same thing.....I am 6'3'' 230lbs with a 33" inseam. I really like the Scout, and am looking at getting a new bike around the entry level cost of the scout and similar bikes, but they are typically smaller model bikes. I know there are extenders for taller riders, but I am curious if someone my size would look ridiculous on it. I also really dig the darkhorse, but not the 17k starting pricetag.

@johnmitchell9705 8 лет назад

Small gas tank and no easy way to correct cornering clearance.

@hooahayes 7 лет назад

John Mitchell I just let the pegs come up when they scrape, gets me a few more degrees. The gastank can be a pain but if you are riding fairly responsibly you can get about 150 miles out of it in under 65mph back road cruising. Start doing 80-90 on the highway and it'll dry up at about 120 miles.

@johnmitchell9705 7 лет назад

I ended up buying a Harley Davidson Sportster Superlow. It is a great bike, needs some tweaks to catch up with the Indian in cornering and power however I have a very reliable bike for little money.
