Motorcycle specifications Indian1133 Scout Rogue 2023 Starkiller, this is Rogue One

The Indian Scout has long wanted to become a rogue; a custom bike to fan the embers of rebellion. The Bobber variant could have taken on this role, but it clearly wasn't enough, as the Scout Rogue was born.

A meaner, almost unruly bike, with dark circles over its eyes. A machine for black jackets, chain smiths and tattooed shoulders, it's not about performance or fighting under filthy neon lights. Rogue just wants to kick dandies who get too close.

Its genesis began not with the Scout , but with the Scout Bobber. Indian began by blacking out 95% of the machine (except for the tank and sometimes the trim for certain colors). Then it's time to give it a face-lift, with a vicious-looking little fork head. Just behind, a "mini ape hanger" type handlebar provides a more upright posture. And to put your hands at just the right height to take a jab at anyone who grunts the wrong way.

While the Rogue's siblings steer with a 16" wheel, the Rogue opts for a 19" wheel, for a little more maneuverability. It also offers a more substantial seat, with a sport-type saddle to help settle the torso under acceleration, should the rider want to get a little nervous with the twin's 95 horsepower.

regrettably , the manufacturer has made no plans to increase the Rogue's power output, nor has it been specially mapped or fitted with fetid exhausts. And yet, with such a name, there's a hint of hope for a meaner engine character. But no. The mechanics, like the chassis, remain identical, with an 1133 cm3 mill and almost 10 mkg, an aluminum backbone, a single brake disc per wheel, a 43 mm fork and a pair of shock absorbers.

The uncluttered rear end provides a low seat height of just 649 mm. There's also a USB port hidden to the side of the speedometer, 12.5 liters of fuel in the canister, a few kilos less than the Bobber (247, even so), and a patient look to match.

This Scout Rogue is the best enemy of the Triumph Bonneville Bobber and Harley Low Rider S. The Englishwoman demands a suit, a title and an ecstasy; on the Milwaukee side, access is only possible with coal-tanned leather; the Indian will require a jacket soaked in dirty tricks, scoundrel manners and nails in the pants.
