    My wife bought a scout over the winter. We just returned from a 9 day trip and put just under 3k on it in that time. This is her third bike in just over three seasons and it is by far her favorite. She has around 4500 miles on it.

    Unfortunately, due to that fact I don’t get to ride it too often. When I can manage to sneak it out of the garage it is a BLAST! Lots of power and handles fairly well. After getting off the b it is like riding a bicycle. I would say it could use a bit better braking and suspension. I have on a few occasions locked the rear tire and the suspension isn’t balanced very well. Nothing major that would keep me from recommending a purchase to someone.

    She is 5’2” so I installed the reduced reach seat and bars. Along with the other accessories she was comfortable riding 5-700 miles at a time for the most part.

    When that open road starts to callin’ me,
    There’s something over the hill that I gotta see
