The Judge MSRP was 13,999 for 2014. It may be dropped for 2015 as it is not listed for the coming model year. The Scout MSRP's for 10,999. So its 3k cheaper. It is closest to the Vegas 8 ball which sells for 12,499.
As for the engine, I would have supported the used of the Freedom 106 if it was dressed up externally to look distinct from Victory. Otherwise you would get too much melding of the brands, and honestly the new Scout mill puts out really good power at a much smaller displacement. For people who have entry level money and want an American v twin, it really allows them a fuller sized bike where Harley only offers the 1200 Sportster and the much smaller engined Street series.
I think and hope it will bring many more people to the brand. America needs more viable and unique brands.
