Motorcyclist staffer Zack Courts is always arriving to office after his commute with a bunch of opinions about the bike he’s riding. Too much this, not enough that, and occasionally has some decent insights. We thought some of it might help consumers or entertain enthusiasts, so we strapped a camera and microphone to the side of his helmet and told him to turn it on when he leaves his house. A lot of him talking in his helmet is complaining about drivers, yelling at red lights, and wondering why billboards aren’t more expensive. But sometimes he actually talks about the bike, and those are the parts we keep. Got a bike you would like to see discussed? Let us know and we’ll send him home on that one next.

No BS obnoxious music and "flash bang" video editing No BS showing off for the crowd or "every bike is golden" promotion Instead, every time it's a thoughtful, knowledgeable and, dare I say(dare, dare), ethical review and for that Zack, I thank you.

@TheRamsberg 7 лет назад

Of note, and this may sound odd, but one thing that I appreciate a great deal is your shenanigans on the bikes. Because I have noticed that you don't engage in them to show off for the viewers. But instead they appear to be incited by the feel of the bike, the character of the bike. That's one of the most difficult things to gauge from a motorcycle review video, that fun factor. Some bikes just don't have it, some do and when you, as a tester, can't help yourself but to go a bit nuts, that's a good indicator to us viewers that the bike is inherently fun. Thanks for the good work Zack.

You're one of the only motovloggers that release legitimate reviews, thanks for that they are realllll good.

@MrSimon9100 7 лет назад

chaseontwowheels makes some good reviews imo

@LazyWaffleman 7 лет назад

He is awesome as well.

@Wunel 7 лет назад

Simon Vuylsteke Chase's reviews are....meh. Not awful, not particularly helpful. He umms and ahs and then says "it feels kiiiiiinda like (some other bike most people haven't ridden) but nooot really, I dunno guys" about literally everything he rides. Also he knows fuck all about motorcycles so all his comments are literally just vague descriptions. He did an entire review of a bike and kept mentioning this weird engine knock he was hearing - it was the choke being open the entire ride.

@Mudux 7 лет назад

I second what Eliot said. Most motovloggers know shit about bikes, they are just interested in their subscribe numbers.

@WheatMillington 7 лет назад

chaseontwowheels review: "erm mer gerd, such weird seating position. Er mer gerd so much power! Wow it handles so well down this traffic congested dead straight road". He's a twat.

@Supernova12034 6 лет назад

steel braided brake lines, liquid cooling....Apparently you can make modern american motorcycles while retaining history, heritage and on an entry level bike no less. *Take notes harley davidson*

@nirhaber6149 4 года назад

@Bunnyshooter 223 harley sucks

@aapddd 3 года назад

The Indian Scout may be the better bike in every aspect except the sound. The sportster still has the proper sound. I don't like the sound of the scout, but it's a modern engine design.

@TheAnnoyingBoss 5 месяцев назад

@@aapdddnow the sportsters dont even exist. But yes indian did a good job making it look heritage it looks high end. Plus they got jt liquid cooled and it doesnt look like crap on one side but not the other like harleys new nightster and sportster s which i dont like

@aamir.khan.1991 7 лет назад

Thanks for keeping it real and down to earth. Nothing fancy, nothing stupid. A motorcycle, a commute and a guy who knows his stuff. MC commute is one of the best things to happen to RU-vid for motorcyclists looking for reviews and info in recent times. p.s I did notice how busy your left thumb is even with an auto off indicator switch. :p

@tussauds88 4 года назад

@VanAnon51 5 лет назад

Man I want that bike. It's nearly perfect. I love the colors, the 5 speed, simple gauge, accessories, styling, stock exhaust sound, grips, and lights on the front and back. Gorgeous in every way.

@maprow 7 лет назад

Hey Zack, another great review. I bought an Indian Scout in Nov 2016 and love it. I chose the Scout over the Scout Sixty as the Scout has 100 hp / 72 ft lbs vs the Scout Sixty with 78 hp / 65 ft lbs. Both bikes weigh the same. The Scout really hauls ass! I have a Ducati Monster 696 and I swear the Scout feels faster. The Scout and Scout Sixty are very well engineered and for my taste much more fun and enjoyable to ride than the Harley Sportster 1200 Custom I used to have. If you do decide to go cruiser shopping and want a "full size" bike, check out the Chief and Springfield. Both are really good looking well made bikes. Thanks again for the great video.

@mariobondanza5149 6 лет назад

@frank9392 7 лет назад

I love MC commute, great concept, great practical info!

@williamrusk631 7 лет назад

I've had a mc license for 44 years, been riding a scout 60 for a year now. The 60 is dramatically de tuned to make it polite for the entry level types. The map is different to compensate for the higher compression and lower hp of the 60 compared to the larger displacement Scout. This bike can become a monster with a few tweaks, its no weakling to begin with. Paughco goose necks, K+N filter and a re flash with the excellent non invasive Power Vision CX by Dynojet worked wonders. It's alive now, sounds like a V twin and will lug from low rpm. Hit the high rpm's and the motor's Formula One designer's heritage comes on like a rocket launcher. A seriously outstanding motorcycle before and after the mods

@aferalmidget915 6 лет назад

Great review Zach. I've been looking into this one for some time now. I laughed when you mentioned the guy on the old school Aprilia wearing shorts. Working in the medical field I always call the guys who don't wear gear "skin donors". Keep up the awesome work!

@josesuarez7484 6 лет назад

My motorcycle! I even have the same color, though I went for a tan leather seat. Almost 4,000 miles in 3 months and I still love it. :)

@CPMASTER28 7 лет назад

@nicholasarceri6613 7 лет назад

Nice review. Really like the scout/scout sixty, hoping they will do a road version of the Indian flat tracker they built, something with just a bit more suspension travel.

@leewhaley552 5 лет назад

I got the scout bobber. I love the way is builds power and how you can wind it out in all gears without that high pitched whine of other bikes. I still got the fz09 but had to rid myself of the x diavel. Just couldn't integrate myself with the Ducati mistique.

@Islandsoundzz 7 лет назад

Very nice review...perhaps the best for this bike. I hope that you can do a review of the 2016/2017 Kawasaki Vulcan S

@kylestav 7 лет назад

@upsidedowndog1256 7 лет назад

Good review Zach. The bike is heavy and mildly powered, but I couldn't get past seeing your legs out front. Nicely built.

@DJMotoVlogs 7 лет назад

I felt the same way when I test rode the Scout. Its a fun, comfortable cruiser with a great motor. I think its appeals to someone who was into sportbikes because the way the engine revs and make power, its feels free revving and peppy.

@threethrushes 7 лет назад

Please review the Guzzi Audace or V9. Thanks.

@garmit61 7 лет назад

Nice review. Like you, cruisers aren't my bag but this one is a beaut. Trouble is when you were at the start of the journey you passed an Aprilia and raved about it. My SL1000 is in the garage waiting for the summer sun to melt the ice here and you've reinforced my bond with it dammit.

@BBRFST 7 лет назад

Hi love ur video's, do you think you would review the Triumph 2017 Bobber. I hear so many polar opposite reviews and I'm interested in ur opinion. thanks!

@jwaller1327 7 лет назад

Very well done review.

@RocketBiscuits 7 лет назад

If the riding position bothers you there is all sorts of options for that. Peg relocation kits, different seats, different bars, etc. Might be worth looking into.

@SineOccasu 7 лет назад

Indian Scout is one of the few cruisers I would buy. Just love the look of it, as well as the performance. Zack, did you ever get a chance to ride Brian Hatano's regular Scout longtime loaner? Also, off the top of my head I can't remember if he still has it, but if he does, could you do a walk around video review? Thanks for the great videos Motorcyclist crew!

@karlshewchuk6463 7 лет назад

I would love to be an out of context witness to this. A man gets off his motorcycle, stands there for 10 seconds looking at it. Gives his bike a thumbs up. Walks away.

@kunlequashie6246 7 лет назад

hey guys can you do a video on the mods allowed for super-stock racing vs full super bike. i know reg may vary by race association but just a general comparison is fine

@planejox 7 лет назад

Great review as always brother. Why you guys don't have a million subs is beyond me. Just don't like this bike for some reason water cooled American bikes turn me off. I will have to get used to it though only way the tightening emissions will be met. I still like the 883 over this bike in the price range. Again great review. Is Ari ever going to do one of this or is it just your gig. Thanks guys for the great content. ...

@Reinemachefrau 6 лет назад

You're not number one cruiser fan in the world, you say. Well, I think that makes you a good judge of this bike. Yours was a proper, objective view. I too am not really a cruiser rider although I happen to own a Honda Shadow at the moment. I enjoy it despite the obvious limitations of the chassis.

@wallymurray620 7 лет назад

Zack Courts Ummmm ... (as I look out on snow covered streets) sure, you have my sympathy.... 😉

@DoRC 7 лет назад

They took 6th gear out to artificially create more differentiation between the two bikes. It probably cost them more to do it but it gives more people a reason to upgrade.

@dutch6849 7 лет назад

I like your pants.. (I know.. a strange question.) But seriously, what kind of pants did you have on? Thanks!

@ComandanteJ 7 лет назад

Interesting bike. I'm not into cruisers, but i know a couple of people who could consider it very seriously. Do they sell these in Europe?

@Wunel 7 лет назад

I have a question regarding the radiator: As you said, it looks very 'broad-shouldered' and fits the style of the bike well but would being built into the frame not also make it a real pain in the ass (or wallet) to repair or replace?

@ferrumchnop6617 4 года назад

The radiators cradled by the frame rather than being built as part of it.

@stephenchristian5739 5 лет назад

YEAH not a bad review I have a feeling most folks would love the ride position, I'm 15 years on a cbr rocket laid out for track so I totally get this guy when he says 'nope.' I was looking at this, the Tri bobber, & Indian bobber ended up with the Tri Thrux R, I needed that semi crouch position just don't think I can ride with the feet up.

@apf14378 7 лет назад

just fyi indian makes an extended reach footpegs and seat for taller people and reduced reach set too for smaller people. and i even saw a video of a wheelie with a 60!! XD

@danielpork8416 6 лет назад

Zack, would a Triumph Bonneville Bobber, Indian Scout Bobber and or the new Harley Davidson Street Bob 107 be of interest to you for an MC Commute episode? Reason I think you'd enjoy the street bob in particular (despite riding position) is because it is the lightest H.D. on the new soft tail frame by atleast 48lbs or so. it makes great power to weight probably the best in the harley lineup save maybe the V-Rod and shares that smooth riding characteristic with it's soft tail brethren. The two Bobbers are just plain fast, mid sized cruisers which is nice.

@leonardohunt2359 6 лет назад

If your tall they sell different seats and handle bars. My wife started out on one and moved to the Springfield.

@rummsdala 7 лет назад

Well, it's extremely uncomfortable, the range is ridiculous due to the tiny fuel tank and it's not fast at all. On the other side it sounds great and it looks amazing! ;)

@partyplace15 6 лет назад

Really? My Sportster was great! However, I had the normal size fuel tank on it, and that is because I got sick of visiting the gas station every 2 days. It was comfortable for me, and honestly, it wasn't slow at all! 50 horse is more than enough for highway and around town, its just that everybody is used to 175 horse you would see from a ZX10 or those other Japanese bikes.
