Sportster S or Indian Scout Bobber Limited??

Hey guys,

I currently have a 2024 Nightster S that has been giving me issues every few months. The warranty expires next month, and I’m a little worried about keeping it after that.

I originally wanted a Triumph Bobber, but unfortunately the last dealership in my state closed. I test rode both bikes, and the Sportster feels like a comfortable sport bike, while the Indian has more of a classic cruiser feel. I enjoyed riding both, but I’m not very knowledgeable about the maintenance or reliability of either.

Here are the numbers:

Sportster OTD: $17,500

Trade-in value: $8,500

Indian: $14,500

Trade-in value: $7,000

I’d appreciate any advice or insight.
