Ironically most people who buy an Indian or a Victory used to be HD owners.
Since HD turned into a marketing company which sells motorbikes (instead of a motorbike company which has a marketing dept) they have lost quite a few of their original followers.
Of course those they lost have been replaced by the legions of lawyers, doctors and accountants who are rediscovering their youth.
As Blackbird mentioned a while back I own a Scout which I bought almost a year ago. I love it (I own a Victory Vision too so perhaps I have strange taste!) and for me it's the best cruiser-style of machine I've ever ridden.
I like H-D. I owned an XR1200x a few years back and enjoyed it but I always found the motor a bit disappointing as it lacked the kick I'd have expected of a 1200 V-Twin when you opened it up a little. The Scout's got a cracking motor and I find it comfy too. Each to their own of course but as far as lighter weight cruisers go I think the Scout takes some beating.
...how about this one...

...I've had some experience with fucking up big time, I can't be negative about it...shit happens and usually when every cunt's watching...got many scars to prove it...
glad you said most, have never wanted a HD or owned one love the Indian but I miss the beamer for taking the long way home or just checking out that dirt/metal road
had done 45k in the first 12 months but only done 1k in the last 4months but with the runs starting up from this weekend

So do you guys still own your Scouts? Can I have some feedback please from real owners on the experience, the good and bad.
Too late now I have ordered one in blue after seeing this picture. Love at first sight. I want the same screen and bags which I reckon transform the look into something I could tour on all day, without putting my licence at risk for a change.
Took a Bobber for a test ride to get a feel for the motor and general feel of the thing. Whole new world to the feeble dinosaur Harley Sportster 1200 I once owned. Still ridiculous lack of cornering clearance but I guess that's all cruisers.
