Indian Scout Bobber Sixty
The Indian Scout Bobber Sixty has a top speed of 177 km/h (estimated), produces 78 hp and weighs 253 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
The Indian Scout Bobber Sixty was introduced in 2020 as an entry-level variant of the Scout Bobber lineup, featuring the smaller 60 cubic inch (999cc) liquid-cooled V-twin engine to appeal to newer riders and those in markets with licensing restrictions. It retains the blacked-out, stripped-down bobber styling of its larger sibling while offering a more accessible power output and a lower price point. The model was designed to capture younger riders entering the cruiser segment without sacrificing the iconic Indian Scout aesthetic.

What Buyers Should Know
Proven Engine Reliability
The 60 cubic inch (983cc) liquid-cooled V-twin is shared across Indian's Scout lineup and has a strong track record for durability with minimal major mechanical failures reported by owners.
Watch the Final Drive
Some owners report premature belt drive wear, especially with aggressive riding or improper tension — inspect belt condition closely on any used example and budget for eventual replacement.
Slower Resale Depreciation
The Scout Bobber Sixty holds its value better than many entry-level cruisers due to Indian's strong brand reputation, making it a smarter buy than comparable Japanese budget alternatives if you plan to resell.

Used Buyer Review
"Great city cruiser that struggles when you want more road."
$6,500-$9,500 usedThe Scout Bobber Sixty is Indian's entry-level cruiser, and honestly, it punches above its weight for what you're spending used. The 60ci (983cc) V-twin makes around 78hp, which feels surprisingly adequate until you hit sustained highway speeds above 75mph — that's where the smaller engine starts breathing hard compared to the full 1133cc Scout. Ergonomics are stripped-back and aggressive; the low seat looks mean but after two hours your lower back will remind you this thing wasn't built for touring. Mechanically, these are solid bikes. Indian quality control has been strong since the Polaris era, so used examples from 2019 onward are generally trustworthy. Check the front forks for leaks — a known weak point — and inspect the rear belt drive carefully. Many owners fit highway pegs early, which tells you something about comfort compromises. Parts availability is decent but pricier than Japanese alternatives. If you find a clean one under $8,000, you're getting real value.
