Nah, that's a 1200... If anything maybe the Scout 60.

104 ponies!  Same price point.

It's not about price point, you can usually find something faster and cheaper from JAPanInc.

More competition.  Has this been mentioned?   Re-badged Scout?

Last week at Daytona, I rode both the Victory Octane and the Indian Scout back to back. They are very, very similar.  The Octane is supposed to have slightly more HP but they both felt similar to me.

I just cannot get into those forward foot controls featured on both.

The Indian was perhaps a little more into the chrome cruiser motif than the Octane.

Their running sensation reminded me of the H-D V-Rod motor.

Yes, and the Yammy Bolt is always in the mix.

The Bolt is a much better comparison, closer in market segment (and ironically just hands down lost the MCN comparison with the 883 and Scout 60).

It just occurred to me, looking at FOSSIL's thread, why the V9 tank looks so familiar. It took a particular pic in his thread for it to hit me and if it is already noted in one of the 14 pages of this thread - forgive me.

Damn thing looks very much like a Triumph Hurricane tank and some of the impressions (for me, anyhow) don't stop there.
