2021 Harley-Davidson® Sportster® S vs 2021 Indian Scout

Two of the most popular makers of American motorcycles are without a doubt Harley-Davidson® and Indian. Both of these motorcycle makers offer a range of models in various configurations.

If you are looking for a great middleweight champion, either the 2021 Indian Scout or the 2021 Harley-Davidson® Sportster® S are worth considering.

Reviewing the 2021 Harley-Davidson® Sportster® S

If you are ready to join Harley-Davidson®'s latest Sportster® movement, the 2021 Sportster® S is definitely worth considering. This motorcycle represents an all-new chapter in Harley-Davidson®’s iconic Sportster® saga. This is a legend in the making with roots that stretch all the way back to 1957. Effortlessly out-performing the competition, this totally rebuilt motorcycle is ready to blow you away!

The Sportster® S is stout and muscular with large tires that round off and give it a buff appearance. This motorcycle has a short front Midgard that has been inspired by the Bobber bikes of days gone by. The tail section of this motorcycle is accentuated by a premium high-mounted exhaust system. This sculpted exhaust is a distinguishing feature that adds a feeling of charming individuality! It has a single seat and is somewhat similar to the Harley-Davidson® XR750. It comes in three chic street-ready paint color packages.

We love the all-new iconic design of this motorcycle. It has an aggressive look with an agile frame and a set of high-mount exhaust pipes like nothing else on the road. Somehow managing to balance charm and futuristic innovation, this motorcycle has a stretched riding position and a low stance. This makes it great for effortless cornering in an urban environment. It also comes with forward-facing foot controls and nicely designed handlebars. You will also enjoy a unique round LCD display gauge. This digital gauge allows you to select ride modes, connect with Bluetooth, and so much more.

The epic dual-purpose powertrain of this motorcycle is included as a structural component of the chassis. This eliminates the necessity of a traditional frame and allows you to enjoy lightweight agility and precise handling! Plus, this dual-purpose powertrain has an all-new Revolution Max V-twin 1250T engine. This engine also has a liquid-cooled design and double overhead camshafts. You will also get variable valve timing for ample torque and instantaneous powerband control. Tuned to maximize your control, you will enjoy an adrenaline-inducing ride like never before.

This bike has a distinctive and angular headlight and nacelle that Suzuki fans will appreciate.

With a singularly Japanese look, this bike is angular and symmetrical. It comes in red or blue paint colors.

Reviewing the 2021 Indian Scout

The Indian Scout has ABS and a 25.6-inch seat height. This motorcycle also has an old-school design with angular features and a liquid-cooled 1,133 CC V-twin engine. It comes with a six-speed transmission and offers 72 pound-feet of torque with 100 horsepower.

2021 Harley-Davidson® Sportster® S vs 2021 Indian Scout: Our Side-By-Side Comparison

When you stack up these two motorcycles next to each other, you will immediately see some huge differences. We'll go right out and say it, the 2021 Sportster® S dominates the Indian Scout in essentially every category.

With Harley-Davidson®’s latest Revolution Max 1250T powertrain, the Sportster® S offers 121 horsepower as well as 94 pound-feet of torque. Compared to the Indian Scout’s 100 horsepower and 72 pound-feet of torque, the Sportster® S is definitely a higher-performance motorcycle.
