The horsepower and torque curves of the Scout very nearly mirrors our CB 1100s. Very linear power curves resulting in 85.2 HP@ 7800 rpms and 64.4 ft lbs of torque @ 5900.
I would think that would be a very fun bike to ride, since the CB is such a joy to ride.
Interesting, no?
Definitely strong similarities here, although the peak 84 HP for the CB1100 comes on at 7300 RPM and the peak torque of 66 ft-lb comes on at 5800 RPM. Together these would suggest the CB1100 might be ever so slightly faster off the line given the similarity of their weights.
Another one of your observant catches!
