QUICKSPIN I 2022 Indian Scout Rogue P110 The Rogue pulls it all together with a true mini-fairing, high bars, a fully blacked-out look, bar-end mirrors, and a 19-inch wagon wheel up front. If the others were prospects, this is the full-patch member of the club. As with most of the other Scouts, there's a Sixty version that offers a smaller 60 cubic-inch engine, along with one less transmission gear and slightly different trim, for a lower price. Ironically, the Scout Rogue might be the most practical of the bunch. One of the cheaper Scouts (though the one we tested with ABS and a color other than black adds $1400 to the price), and that little fairing actually deflects a fair bit of wind off of your chest. The mini-apes are mini enough to put your fists in the air, but not enough to make it awkward or cause the blood to drain from your digits. It's a nice stretch to peg and bar for smaller riders, while taller riders (like myself) are still in a relaxed ergo- nomic triangle. The Rogue's seat doesn't work well for me. There are two camps in seat design: soft and plush versus firm and supportive. I'm thoroughly on Team Firm and the Rogue wasn't. It's good for maybe 75 miles before I fidget, but I can tell from the first 10 seconds that I'm sinking almost to the seat pan. If you're north of 200 pounds, you're probably buying a replacement. I was happy that the soft foam extended to the little bump stop at the back of the seat, so I could slide back and sit on that to change it up. As with all bikes that have just a solo seat, there are no other places to put your feet that you don't buy and install. There's a touch of One Percenter in the Rogue.
