- The Super Scout introduces touring gear—a windshield and leather saddlebags.
- The 101 Scout gets premium support like USD forks, Brembo brakes and gas-charged shocks.
Despite weighing in at 245-270 kg, the accessible seat height and spacious fuel tank (13 liters) are comfortable during long rides.
