If straight-line speed is your priority, the 101 Scout takes the lead. With 6 HP more than the Scout Bobber, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the Scout Bobber has a clear advantage. Weighing in 9kg less than the 101 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 101 Scout. Its seat height is 11mm lower than the Scout Bobber, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the 101scout if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the scout-bobber if you want the alternative brand character.
