Its liquid-cooled 1250 cc V-twin puts out 105 hp through a belt final drive, while a low 680 mm seat keeps it approachable and confidence-inspiring. Best known for blending classic Scout character with sportier handling and a bobber-inspired attitude.

Best for
Built as a sporty, low-slung cruiser for spirited road riding, weekend blasts, and stylish daily use rather than dedicated touring or off-road work.
Built for
A muscular, liquid-cooled V-twin cruiser with a sporty edge, offering strong midrange punch and a lower, more aggressive stance than a traditional touring cruiser.
Not ideal for
Not the right choice for riders seeking off-road capability, long-haul touring comfort with full weather protection, or track-focused performance.
