Harley Davidson Dyna Vs Indian Scout

2017 INDIAN SCOUT 69CI DYNA SLAYER.

Harley davidson dyna vs indian scout. Harley-Davidson Thrashes the Gap. In a matchup between the spunky Indian Scout Cruiser the Sixty and the burly Harley Davidson Cruiser 1200 Custom who would reign supreme. Conversely Indian only offers optional ABS on the Scout while the Harley flaunts rider aids like traction control cornering ABS ride modes and engine braking settings.

If you mentioned water-cooled to a Harley old-timer like me you were speaking fighting words or so I thought until I rode the V-Rod. In the powertrain department the Harley-Davidson Street Bob gets bhp Petrol engine whereas the Indian Scout comes in bhp Petrol engine. With cruisers though its all about the torque.

One of the most renowned grudge matches in the history of motorcycling is the ongoing battle for knockout sales between Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycle. But if thats the case. I know the general population would immediately vote that the Harley-Davidson 1200 Custom would surely stomp the Indian Scout Sixty but Im not so sure.

As a disclaimer if I get the Indian I plan on putting apes and if I get the Harley I plan on getting forward controls. This bike is a head turner it looks mean sounds mean and has the power to back it up. The dyno said 83 at the rear wheel.

If you want a retro feel for the bike and road. In fact it doesnt seem that much slower than the big. Coming from a sport bike I think thatd be the wisest choice its got the power to go the speed limits winkwink if you so choose.

Indian does outfit the Scout with a 16-inch wheelset shod in sticky Pirelli Night Dragon rubber while Harley opts for a 16-inch rear and 17-inch front. Harley-Davidson was born in a tiny shed in Milwaukee Wisconsin a few years after Indians first motorcycle. The reason I love the Dyna is no ECM Headaches or 1000 Codes that may pop up and have no clue what to do with No Having to pull the tank to Change Spark Plugs or Air Filter No CANBUS nightmares when adding or working on electrics and I can rebuild.
