If straight-line speed is your priority, the Super Scout takes the lead. With 10 HP more than the R12, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the R12 has a clear advantage. Weighing in 41kg less than the Super Scout, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the Super Scout. Its seat height is 74mm lower than the R12, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the r12 if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the super-scout if you want the alternative brand character.
