I find it interesting that the review found the handling better on the Triumph, and suggested that was because Triumph used Avon Cobra tires.

I wonder if Triumph have been spying on this site ?

may be the tire but the shorter wheel base and less rake on the front probably helps.

It is an interesting article. And it seems the Scout is the best bang for the buck. But if I were to buy one, I think I like the look of the Bonnie Bob better. My problems is, they both look so small underneath me.
