If you had to name the one (1) (uno, no mas) SINGLE thing that made up your mind you had to buy a Scout, what would it be?
For me, it was nudity. Minimalism. Not so much as a side cover in the way. Been looking for a good commuter, and everything I looked at had vestigial plastic fairings, mini windscreens, plastic radiator shrouds, plastic chrome this or that... irritating. I have never found a bike naked enough to suit. Then BOOM, here comes the Scout. No wasted motion. From the first eyeball I laid on it, simple, to the point, less is more. Nope; not even a back seat.
A saddle, a motor, a pair of wheels, with just enough steel to connect them.
No wasted motion.
Poetry is the art of expressing the most with the least.
