Honestly I don't know what to make of the new Scout, 100 Hp liquid cooled V-twin that's kinda funny looking on a retro cruiser. The exhaust just looks ridiculous. For some reason I kind of like it though

I like the bare fender and the minimal use of chrome. That big chrome exhaust doesn't fit IMO. Some short pipes that turn down before the rear wheel would look better I think. They are not supposed to be that expensive either.... may have to go look at one its kinda growing on me.

How long before some idiot whines about the name "Indian" and wants the company to change its name and remove the emblem depicting the Indian chief (think Washington Redskins)? Ed

Interesting looking but I do not care for forward foot controls or the exhaust. Maybe double fishtails...... Overall I do like it.

Take it from me cuz I found
If you leave it then somebody else is bound,
To find that treasure, that moment of pleasure,
When yours, it could have been.
