Indian Scout Bobber
The Indian Scout Bobber has a top speed of 185 km/h (estimated), produces 100 hp and weighs 256 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
De Indian Scout Bobber werd in 2018 geïntroduceerd als een in de fabriek gebouwde bobbervariant van de populaire Indian Scout, die zelf in 2015 opnieuw werd gelanceerd nadat Indian Motorcycle nieuw leven werd ingeblazen door Polaris Industries. De Bobber heeft een minimalistische, verduisterde esthetiek met een solozadel, kleinere spatborden en verlaagde vering, geïnspireerd op de uitgeklede aangepaste fietscultuur van de jaren 40 en 50. Het werd al snel een van India's best verkochte modellen, geprezen vanwege de combinatie van retrostijl met moderne prestaties en betrouwbaarheid.

Wat kopers moeten weten
Watch the Final Drive
The Indian Scout Bobber uses a reliable belt final drive, but some owners report premature belt wear if the bike sits long-term or rides frequently in debris-heavy conditions. Regular inspection can prevent costly replacements.
Strong Resale Value
Indian Scout models consistently hold 70-80% of their value after two years, outperforming many competitors in the cruiser segment. Limited-color and special editions tend to retain value even better.
Liquid-Cooled Advantage
Unlike many cruisers in its class, the Scout Bobber's 1133cc liquid-cooled engine runs significantly cooler in stop-and-go traffic, reducing long-term engine wear and improving overall reliability.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"A genuinely cool cruiser that rewards buyers who research carefully."
$8,500-$13,500 usedThe Scout Bobber is genuinely one of the better-looking bikes Indian has ever made, and that's not nothing. Low slung, blacked-out, mean in person — it turns heads in a way most Japanese cruisers simply don't. The 1133cc liquid-cooled V-twin pulls strong from low revs and that 6-speed gearbox clicks through cleanly once warmed up. Real-world performance sits comfortably between a Sportster and a proper big twin, which is exactly where Indian positioned it. That said, go in with eyes open. The seat is genuinely punishing beyond 90 minutes — budget for an aftermarket unit immediately. Pre-2020 examples have reported final drive belt wear worth inspecting carefully, and the electronics package feels sparse compared to rivals at this price point. Heat management in traffic is noticeable on hot days, your right leg will know about it. Inspect service history religiously. These bikes often get bought by posers who barely ride them, which sounds ideal until you find neglected oil changes. Stick to 2020-onwards examples for minor refinements and better dealer support availability.
