BMW R 1300 GS vs Indian Scout Bobber

Question 1

Q. Which is the best one 1.Scout bobber 2 Harley 48 3 Truimph Bobber?

Answer

All bikes are good in their own forte. The bike features a liquid-cooled, V-Twin 1133cc engine with a closed loop fuel-injection system that makes out a max power of 94hp and a peak torque of 97Nm at 5,600rpm. The engine is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The Bobber gets a raw look with a blacked-out engine, frame, exhaust, handlebars, and mirrors. With the least amount of chrome, the bobber looks absolutely dashing. It is equipped with a dual-tone leather seat, minimalist LED tail lamp, chopped front, and rear fenders, and black cast aluminum wheels. There are a black analog single pod and an all-new Indian Scout badge on the fuel tank. If you want to go for a better fit and finish, you may opt for Indian Scout Bobber but the after-sales services are a bit of a concern. On the other hand, the new Harley Davidson Forty-Eight is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor. Torque and weight have remained unchanged. Distinctive features include a low solo seat, under-mounted mirrors, side mount license plate, clean rear fender and tall and fat front tire, new front fork sliders, a tall and fat front tire, and slammed rear suspension, With Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI), shorty dual exhaust, forward foot controls, low profile custom handlebar, fork-mounted turn signals, slammed speedometer mounting bracket and fork brace with lightening holes. Harley Davidson's after-sales services are better than Indian. And the Triumph Bonneville Bobber features the old-school hardtail look with bobbed fenders and a floating single-piece seat suspended on a cantilever spring system, which can be moved forward or backward to suit the rider’s height. It retains its stainless steel slash-cut exhausts. A dash of the modern appeal comes with full-LED lighting, a semi-digital instrument cluster, ride-by-wire, and two riding modes. Besides, cruise control also comes standard.
