Kawasaki Ninja 650 vs Indian Scout Comparison

The Ninja 650 may be a middleweight, but it feels like a small bike, and it doesn't have the intake roar or exhaust note associated with a high-performance motorcycle. It feels at ease handling traffic, and is equally comfortable on the highway, if you're in the mood for occasional long-distance touring. If you're looking to upgrade from a smaller bike, or you're new to motorcycling, the Kawasaki Ninja 650 could well be all the bike you need.

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!
