Yeah, I have ridden the Scout and loved the engine, loved the tight responsive feel of the chassis, just do not care for the Bobber look. To me the fat front tire/wheel, the clipped front fender (I know, a Bobber is supposed to look that way), the way too long fat mufflers detract from the center proportions of the chassis. The Indian Scout is basically what the Victory Octane was with different bodywork.
To me the Victory Octane is what Kawwy could shoot for with a brand new meaner Mean Streak. Kawwy knows how to build a very strong engine and chassis. Here is a Victory Octane with a much better looking exhaust setup than the stock Octane or Indian Scout. Kawwy body styling on a bike like this Octane would be killer:
