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.

The conclusion is very easy for me. Ducati has made an "already almost perfect motorbike" even better without changing anything in a negative way. Although riding on the road with this radical fairing probably causes a stir and one or two riders find it uncomfortable, they obviously feel more comfortable with it on the race track. You get a motorbike "out of the box" that resembles a Superbike World Championship bike more than ever. I also believe that the V4 2018 owner is quite capable of improving his lap times with the 2020 version. My tip: if you take care to enlarge the tank or make it more grippy, you could go over the centre even more with your hull.

Clever electronics

Noticeable upgrade to last year's model

More accessible than ever before

Tank is too small from an ergonomic point of view

straight-line driving from 250km/h in the wet
