What Buyers Should Know
Proven Reliable Engine
The Scout Bobber Twenty runs the same 1133cc liquid-cooled V-twin used across Indian's Scout lineup, a motor with a strong reliability track record. Owners regularly report 20,000+ miles with minimal issues when maintained properly.
Watch the Final Drive
Some owners report premature rear belt wear, especially with aggressive riding or if the bike sits unused for extended periods. Inspect belt tension and condition carefully on any used example before buying.
Strong Resale Value
The Scout Bobber Twenty holds its value better than many competitors due to Indian's brand prestige and the model's limited production styling. Well-maintained examples typically retain 70-80% of their value after two years.
Generations & Specs by Year
Introduced as blacked-out Scout variant; 1133cc V-twin, minimalist fenders, solo seat, 100hp.
Used Buyer Review
"A genuinely usable bobber that earns its looks on the road."
$8,500-$12,500 usedThe Scout Bobber Twenty is one of those bikes that looks better in person than in photos, which is saying something. The blacked-out treatment on the Twenty edition genuinely works, and that 1133cc V-twin pulls hard enough from 2,500rpm to embarrass bigger-displacement twins at traffic lights. Used examples from 2020 onwards are hitting the sweet spot price-wise right now, and Indian's build quality means most have aged well. Check the seat foam — it compresses faster than it should and replacements aren't cheap. The suspension is deliberately stiff for the bobber aesthetic, so if you're planning longer hauls, budget for aftermarket shocks immediately. On the used market, inspect the rear fender area carefully. Some owners lowered them and the fender can catch on rough terrain. Also check for aftermarket exhaust — many owners swap the stock pipes, which isn't inherently bad, but verify it was mapped properly. Service intervals are reasonable and Indian dealers have improved dramatically. Parts availability is solid. This isn't a weekend-only showpiece; it actually works as a daily rider if you're under six feet.
