A good offer
Even if my private loot scheme wouldn't fit bobbers, it's definitely a good choice. It is beautiful in the classical sense and dresses the owner to the very finest. For this engine and the fine materials, the called 14,490 euros are certainly not too much. Although it is reduced to a maximum, the Indian Scout Bobber gives you a lot of feeling for your money.
The test bike was provided to us by Legendary Motorcycles in Hamburg.
