If only Indian would address the suspension. I've said it forever. C'mon Indian, it's been 8 bloody years. Have they heard of a monoshock softail setup. It would give the Scouts an even better hardtail look which they have always steered toward, and, will massively improve the suspension rideability of this bike. Get your heads out of the sand people at Indian boardroom and R&D depts. Looking at this video, I would just about put money on it that prospective buyers, SHOULD, actually look elsewhere for a better motorcycle for the same, even cheaper price.
You are right on that Muz, although they seemed to pick the Scout here, the guys did seem to have a sort of disgust, that these are your choices, LOL. It was fairly easy to sense they're sarcasm when asked what they like about the 2 bikes. I almost got the impression they were thinking, "Bring us 2 new different bikes to try, cause these suck".
Yeah, it was pretty obvious they were sport bike guys who didn't like a cruiser bike and just had to choose the lesser evil. Not that all sport bike people are like that, just meaning these two gave me that vibe.
