Indian Scout Bobber Twenty Review

Used Buyer Review

The 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.
