Another bike I like....

Jonty03 · Apr 5, 2015

The new 2015 Indian scout - clean lines, creamy 100 bhp power delivery, light & easy clutch - I just love this machine. Handling is a joy, quick to respond, accurate and sure footed. I'm not a fan of the bigger Indians - too overdressed for my taste - but this one... Took it for a blast across our local scenery and watched the heads turn to see what was making that glorious sound; several people commented on it being "such a nice bike". I must admit, I don't get that kind of response to my NC and I do like it. Took a little while for me to remember to put my feet forward to the pegs!
Happy Easter everyone.

Test road one at Daytona. Good ride. If they make a version without feet forward I could be interested.

Also road this bike at Daytona 2015. Loved the engine power, but the handlebar was to forward and the switches were miniature sized.
And most important - "The Scout was TWICE the price of my NC7"

I was going to buy one,untill I ask on the fourm what tank range they are getting. 90 to 100 miles on a tank is not much at all.it would have to be a second bike for me,just for short trips.i have also been on one and do like them.if it had a bigger tank I would have one already.

There is a new Chieftain out. Saw it somewhere but can't remember where. Olive green from memory. Anyone see it ? Those new Indians float my boat I have to admit.

ziggie · Apr 5, 2015

Yes $22,000 will get you one.

The tank size is probably OK. Doubt I could even do 90 miles with my feet out forward like that.

ziggie · Apr 5, 2015

You would be surprized. My vstar had forward controls and not so bad if the seat is good.

This is the one I had in mind. Isn't it cool ? Maybe I was wrong about the colour

Better pic.

I rode the Scout on one of the "test" rides they had one weekend. Fell in love with it. I also asked about the MPG and no one would/could give me an answer. Now I know why... I'll pass.

That would be the new dark horse

Well, maybe like this you could:

Sorta like rollin' a log except it's rollin' sideways.

You have to remember that Indians are much rarer in the UK than the States; I'm just lucky to have a dealer a few miles up the road from me. The Scout has only just arrived at the retailers and there won't be that many opportunities to ride one. I'm just a sucker for cream and burgundy colour schemes..

It would be much cheaper to just paint your NC.
