The bike is scary fast for an 1100 V2,the shocks are harsh and it feels very made in USA,overall a fun little cruiser but no Honda by any stretch.Biker

are you trying to understand what I mean by the made in USA feeling
go test drive a Ford or Chevy, then go drive a Toyota or a Honda,that is what I meant....

The closest Indian dealer has a demo truck coming in 2 weeks and I may go check one out. I haven't ridden a cruiser outside of a parking lot, but I don't expect to fall in love with it.

We're riding down to Ocala for a test ride later this month. Never cared for cruisers but think it would be fun to try this.

Scout is a cool bike imo but just not my cup of tea. The performance is impressive but I just dont dig the cruiser style. Its not for me no matter the numbers. And, the price is way high imo. But I think that about everything.
