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.

O Indian Scout Bobber foi lançado em 2018 como uma variante de bobina construída em fábrica do popular Indian Scout, que foi relançada em 2015 depois que a Indian Motorcycle foi revivida pela Polaris Industries. A Bobber apresenta uma estética minimalista e opaca com assento individual, pára-lamas reduzidos e suspensão rebaixada, inspirando-se na cultura simplificada de bicicletas personalizadas das décadas de 1940 e 50. Ele rapidamente se tornou um dos modelos mais vendidos da Índia, elogiado por combinar estilo retrô com desempenho e confiabilidade modernos.

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.

Style-conscious riders wanting real V-twin character

"A genuinely cool cruiser that rewards buyers who research carefully."

$8,500-$13,500 used

The 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.
