BSJ Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Polaris need a pat on the back for reviving the big Indian motorcycles but I think they took a wrong turn at the styling cross-roads with the Scout. The under seat cover looks plasticy and the overall styling is.....well the word 'gross' keeps popping into my head! It will be coming to an Indian/Victory dealership near you, so maybe it will look better in the metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzzi850m2 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I think it looks very cool. Would love to see one for real. Never seen a Victory nor Indian (the new ones) in the flesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ll2 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I like the looks of it too. Especially design of the engine. Has a new tech, sporty engine and not heavy. Good fit and finish and overall very good value. Diavel is better though if a cruiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantan Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 A cruiser you can ride with fullface helmet without looking stupid. I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I think it looks very cool. Would love to see one for real. Never seen a Victory nor Indian (the new ones) in the flesh. The Victory bikes look great (as a cruiser) and half the price of a comparable Harley in Australia but have not gained a good reputation for reliability.

eastbay Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 A cruiser you can ride with fullface helmet without looking stupid. I like it! In the US these days the V Twin uniform is a full face helmet, cotton hoody, and tennis shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phra Ek Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I see what the OP means about the seat area - but I still like it. It has a whiff of the Confederate bike styling. Indian is sort-of the 'Lexus' brand of Victory and the Indian bikes at the Bangkok show were spectacular - great to see something different in the cruiser segment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares what people wear on a bike, just ride for the love of it. Okay, granted, each to their own.But still, when some weird fashion dictates, and the flocks follow (I mean really, trainers on a Harley?), can't I at least chuckle? Someone told me that it all started with Jesse James on a tv show test riding bikes around the block, but that's what people saw and they wanted to emulate so..... Hey at least it got them into full face and out of beanies. No more cheek flapping! But you're right who am I to judge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the breath of fresh air on the big V twin front with Victory and later Indian it just seems a backward step to introduce the Scout as it is. Just sayin'!
