For clarification, Ferret, are Rider's numbers from the Scout Sixty? If so, some of the comments about the priciness my be being based upon a different bike. I believe that the Scout Sixty is priced at just under $9,000.
No numbers are from regular Scout. sCout 60 will not have same power numbers as CB1100, either hp or torque.
My issue of Rider is still downloading , but the highlighted article is "Son of Scout" which made me wonder which numbers you used. The Sixty, from other reviews, doesn't give up much in real-world performance and has that lower price.
