Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX vs Indian Scout Comparison

The Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX remains one of the most accessible litre-class full-faired offerings on sale and the in-line four-pot motor makes for a highly likeable highway companion. Powered by a 1,043 cc liquid-cooled, four-pot motor that develops 140 bhp at 10,000 rpm and 111 Nm of peak torque at 8,000 rpm, the bike has a lot of electronic aids including ABS, cruise control, three-level traction control, Kawasaki Cornering Management function, quickshifter and more.

The Indian Scout offers a compact, low-slung, beautifully designed cruiser that is a definite head turner. Straight line stability is solid, and even around corners the bike maintains composure. Only in slower speeds, the suspension feels a little stiff. For a weekend companion, and for a leisurely outing in the open road, the INdian Scout could be a good companion, but stay away from traffic!
