Dimensions in practice
The Sport Scout weighs 248 kg with fluids, has an 680 mm seat, 113 mm of ground clearance, and rides on a 1562 mm wheelbase. Clearance is on the low side; take tall speed breakers at an angle with a pillion.
The fuel tank holds 13 litres.
Tyres are 130/60-B19 front and 150/80-B16 rear, tubeless.
Features, and why each matters
Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.
Safety and braking
Stops both wheels from locking under panic braking. The single biggest safety upgrade on a two-wheeler.
Front disc brake
Sheds heat and works when wet. Worth the small premium over a drum on any commuter.
Rear disc brake
Adds feel and fade resistance at the back; matters more on heavier or faster bikes.
Tubeless tyres
A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.
Side-stand engine cut-off
Engine will not run with the stand down, which prevents a common low-speed crash.
Convenience
Engine kill switch
Switch the engine off from the right bar without reaching for the key.
Chassis
Alloy wheels
Lighter than spoked wheels and they allow tubeless tyres.
Lighting
LED headlamp
Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.
LED tail lamp
Lights up instantly, which gives the vehicle behind a fraction more warning.
Console and connectivity
Digital console
Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.
Equipment against Scout Classic, Scout Bobber and Nightster Special
What it lacks: traction control, colour tft console, usb charging port and hazard lamps, which rivals at this price offer. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.
It is offered in 1 colours: Black Metallic. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.
