In either scenario the bigger engine would probably be the Indian to go for. The decision on which one is right for the rider usually will come down to whether they intend to keep the bike for a long time and whether they are going to do long tours on it. Several Indian Scout Bobber reviewers have commented that under 4000rpm the bike “feels like a pussycat” which is reassuring for novices. With that said, even with the bigger engine the power delivery is smooth and therefore welcoming for all riders. The Bobber and Bobber Twenty’s extra gear and 18 horsepower adds solely to the top end performance of the bikes, something that for a novice is not really needed or likely to be used. The engine certainly has enough power to grow with the rider as confidence increases. The 5 th gear acts as an overdrive cruising gear but does not lack any oomph either.
The 5-speed transmission is smooth and not off putting with intense power. The Bobber Sixty’s smaller engine is the big selling point for new riders. The Bobber Sixty has the slightly smaller displacement engine with a liquid cooled, 1000cc, 76-horsepower V-Twin and peak Torque of 88Nm with a 5-speed transmission. The Bobber and Bobber Twenty share a liquid cooled, 1133cc, 94-horsepower V-Twin engine with a peak Torque of 97Nm and they have a 6-speed transmission. To start with the Scout Bobber comes in 3 variations, the Bobber, Bobber Sixty and Bobber Twenty (I will look at this in a little depth as I walk you through the key features). This will give us a good idea as to what to expect and hopefully answer some of the question’s beginner riders would have about the Scout Bobber as their first bike. In order to answer whether the Scout Bobber is a good first bike we should first take a look at the spec and riding experience. How does the Indian Bobber compare with other Bobbers?.3 Indian Bobbers, what’s the difference?.In particular, the Scout Bobber Sixty is an ideal entry to Bobber ownership although all 3 Indian Bobbers are low to the ground and have a smooth power delivery so despite being big displacement bikes they are easy to handle.īefore you decide which Bobber bike will best suit your needs and level of experience, you will want to read on…. Is the Indian Scout Bobber a good first bike? The Indian Scout Bobber has all the makings of a good first bike. Both are the ABS models.Įssentially am I being smart or silly in saving the couple grand for the slightly smaller bike? I am planning on getting a new exhaust, intake, and flashing it down the road so I know that'll increase the power for the 60.If you have your heart set on an Indian Bobber but you lack ‘big’ bike experience, you have a tough decision ahead. I spec-ed out a similar scout bobber, white smoke, for 16ish. I definitely like the Blue Slate Smoke color on the 60 a lot more and the out the door price (with 10 inch apes, comfort seat, passenger seat and pegs) is 13.5. I was curious if any of you have had experience with both bikes and could tell me if that was true?
The sales guys said I wouldn't really notice a difference in the power between the two bikes until I was in the higher rpm range and going 70+. I'm actually looking at the scout sixty though because I'd prefer to save a little cash and from what I've been reading they're very similar bikes outside of the fifth gear being removed from the 60 and a slightly smaller engine.
I stopped by an Indian dealership today and test rode a scout bobber twenty.
