Pros and Cons in comparison

Indian Scout Rogue 2022

The Rogue, a new addition to the 2022 model line-up, will make old-school cruiser fans happy. A bike with a powerful engine and without a lot of tam-tam. However, the cool minimalist look comes at the price of small functional limitations, which won't bother real enthusiasts.

High-revving engine

discreet, elegant "all black" look

reduced to the essentials

surprisingly good wind protection

Restricted lean angle as typical for the class

undersized rear shocks

pillion seat at extra cost

Harley-Davidson Sportster S RH1250S 2023

The Sportster S returns to the tradition of this model series - yes, it really used to be about sport! That's why the latest American creation, with its 122 hp and 125 Nm of torque, doesn't want to be a cruiser, but instead is almost classless in its pursuit of customers. What is on offer is a wonderful poser bike that is surprisingly easy to ride after a little familiarisation. The single-disc brake at the front has a lot of work to do and the fat 160 front tyre does not steer in quite naturally. In addition, the rider has to cope with a hard suspension and a seating position that is energy-sapping on long stages - which of course doesn't matter at all in front of the ice cream parlour. Electronics and safety are top-notch, which mitigates the tidy price for true fans.

Powerful, refined engine

unique looks

full electronics package with cornering ABS and lean angle-dependent traction control

low-maintenance belt drive

unrivalled

Chassis really hard

turn-in behaviour somewhat unwilling because of the wide front tyre

small tank capacity.
