Indian Scout 101 VS Harley Sportster S

I don't care about specs and features, I can't get over the looks of the Sportster S, so Indian easy choice for me. The new Scout is beautiful.

My opinion, the 101 is a style triumph. The sportster looks like the design came from Toon town. Once you’re up to those sorts of HP, who cares.

I can't get over the looks of the Sportster S. I've owned two of the last gen Sportsters and loved them both, but the new ones do nothing for me. The Scout 101 is super sexy in every way. It looks like what we all wanted the new Sportsters to look like. The Sportster S looks like someone over inflated it, and it could POP at any minute. It's just silly looking. The new Scout 101 is beautiful!! Indian beat HD by making what we all wanted HD to make. I'm hoping to get a new Scout when they come out!! I'll probably go with the Sport Scout.

If anything this video proves how much of a styling failure the sportster is considering that everyone would choose the 101 on style alone

The 101 comes standard with the tech plus package

It’s apples and oranges. The new Sout 101 is a perfected American cruiser. The Sportster S is a sort-of ambiguous, naked bike thingy.

I wouldn't call that Harley a cruiser, it looks confused on what it wants to be.😅 101 wins the beauty pageant.

I work at a harley dealership. The new models, from the liquid cooled rev-max in both displacements to basically every M8 powered bike has come back for fixing. Not just routine maintenance. Computer flashing so the motors don't cut out even brand new untitled bikes. Bikes won't TURN OFF. Electronic suspension staying stuck in place. Basically, it can be said harley davidson may offer tech and whatnot but HARLEYS CURRENTLY ARE NOT WORTH THE HARD TO COME BY MONEY they charge or allow you to screw yourself out of. H-D monthly payments on bigger baggers is a mortgage payment...

I prefer the Indian Scout 101, it looks a lot like my lovely Victory Octane. 😅

The Scout 101 looks better than the Harley Sporter S.

The Indian looks great. One of best looking bikes out imo. No detail seems to have been overlooked and it's gonna sound way better than the Harley revmax.

Hi mate, just a correction on trim levels. I believe the 101 only comes standard with top trim levels, the same as the super scout as well

GREAT Video. Was waiting for something like this, as I like both bikes. Like you, I've test ridden the Sportster S and can't wait to ride the Scout 101. Thanks.

I won’t go into details but 14 serious warranty claims on a new Harley Davidson turned me off Harleys. They flew a Harley engineer from America to look at the bike as they were concerned it may be a worldwide problem. I live in Melbourne Australia and had to contact Harley Davidson in America to get help after crap dealership customer care. A major dealership here virtually lost everything over it and they kept it so quiet. I would definitely look at the Indian Scout 101 and show HD where to go. The Scout 101 looks great and looks classic to this 63yr old. Top notch comparison video!

@Bikes I Like - The Scout 101 comes standard with the Limited+Tech package.

Very good comprehensive review, thanks for posting

The Scouts look better.

My friend, is the total biking experience about quarter mile times? Appeal, taste & comfort. Stop & smell the roses🌹

Tire pressure monitoring is within the menus, I don't know if they fitted the sensors on the rims, but the capability is there. I pre-ordered an 101, so I will know soon. The Scout is way more handsome than the Sportster in my opinion. The stock suspension on old Scouts is abysmal - the first thing you have to do is to change it with Fox, Ohlins or Progressive, on the new Scout, the stock one looks fine. The new Scout's frame made it highly customizable as well...

Hell yea, Paul coming in with the real videos. Thanks dude.
