With 14 HP more than the Nightster, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the Nightster has a clear advantage. Weighing in 39kg less than the Sport Scout RT, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Bottom Line: It's a close call.
