If straight-line speed is your priority, the Scout Bobber takes the lead. With 18 HP more than the Rebel 1100, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the Rebel 1100 has a clear advantage. Weighing in 25kg less than the Scout Bobber, 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 Scout Bobber. Its seat height is 34mm lower than the Rebel 1100, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the rebel-1100 if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the scout-bobber if you want the alternative brand character.
