    Yesterday my dad, Hot Rider and I went to the IMS in Minneapolis. Ran across the Indian Scout. This bike is so ugly. The bike in general reminded me of a die cast model of the real one. Especially the engine.

    If I was a young gun and ran with the Indian Mystique I believe I would buy one. It is American
    Its not Japanese crap.

    Kinda has that Warrior/star motorcycle look about it

    You can see the "Victory" styling to my eye, also as someone mentioned there is a bit of a Yamaha cruiser look to it. The exhaust was what I liked least. But I hear it goes like a scared cat. I'll stick with the Sporty.

    The Victory engines are very impressive. The Indians are supposed to be even better.

    Got a friend that bought one.
    Hes had Harleys, and a couple Victorys.
    He said he really liked it. Think he said it had a 106 motor.
    And was really fast. And has a good warranty.
    Said he's Short and it fits him very well.

    I was at the Harley dealer this weekend and seen they make new Low versions of the Ultras. And a Ultra limited with a 110cu motor.
    Tripped out when I seen the price too.

    Badinfluience 63 bought one this last year in 2014. Said it firs him well.

    The SE Ultra Limited 110 sits higher than the stock Ultra for 2014 and 2015. Seat is thicker with more padding. Makes it hard for some to flat foot it. I can and know you could Cardboard as we have a longer inseam. A lot of people can't though and know they are loosing sales on them because of it.

    Got a 30" inseam.
    Spent like 850.00 to put 944 UT shocks on my 11 to lower it an 1nch.


    Not knocking yer bikes. But.

    If Harley wants 42,000 for the new bikes with the 110cu motor.
    I will have to let all of you guys with the big bucks buy em
    I paid 50,000 for my cabin I stay in that i've never finished fixin up.

    I can buy a 103 motor and make it run as well or better than a 110cu for a heck of a lot less than 42,000 Plus tax and interest.

    I can do a lot of playing for 42,000.

    Didn't pay even close to that for mine.

    You can buy a 103 then put every thing on it that the SE bike has and you'll spend more. If you build your motor yourself you can save but the average guy will spend more if he pays someone to do it.

    Our dealer put a class on about all the new bikes with the new infotainment center
    Was a very informed class and they had some information that I didn't even know about. I gave them some info to that the presenter didn't know about.

    They also gave info on a shock system by Progressive and had a breakdown and cut away of it. Pretty aggressive shock system and not a air shock.

    I've been a fan of Progressive Suspension since the 1970's. Ran third rear shocks and springs on my crotch rockets. Now I have them on my Fatboy

    I'm all about factory. The ultra low is factory lowered. That means they didn't just lower the rear shocks. That means the lowered the front end and other opposing and impacted parts were changed to. That comforts me. And my 2012 had the frame change but still used the old front end. That was causing my bike front end wobble issues. So while I'm not knocking your bike I think my 2015 ultra low is better off then yours for being lowered at the factory and not half way lowered by me.
