Pros and Cons in comparison
Indian Scout Bobber 1131 2018
The Indian Scout Bobber is a motorbike that impresses with its powerful appearance and modern virtues. While the looks divide opinions, the Indian seduces the entire test crew of the 2018 bobber comparison with its powerful V2 power unit. Thanks to its low seat height and good-natured handling, it can be described as beginner-friendly, even though it weighs 255 kilograms fully tanked. Only the limited lean angle clearance puts the brakes on riding pleasure, but even dragging footpegs can provide intense moments of happiness.

If you look up the word bobber in the dictionary, a picture of the Harley-Davidson 48 is likely to come up. In our comparison, thanks to the long Sportster history and clever marketing, it is probably the most authentic bike of the four test motorbikes. And it's the only one that doesn't have the term "bobber" in its name - because it doesn't need it. Nothing about it has been softened to make comfort-consumed customers happy. When stationary, the motorbike vibrates and the gearbox makes a loud "clunk" with every gear change. The Harley-Davidson 48 is raw, uncompromising and simply oldschool - and cool. Unthinkable with other manufacturers, normal with Harley-Davidson - thanks to clever marketing! Nevertheless, the Forty-Eight rides like a relatively modern motorbike. The V2 has powerful pressure, which the brakes can easily handle. Even though the chassis is designed for comfort, we were surprised at how sportily the Sportster can be moved through curvy terrain.
