They just changed out the motor it would appear. Would advantages be lower insurance under a liter bike, possible lower import tariffs overseas for the smaller displacement, not sure but don't some European countries have size limits for the riders licenses? And there may be a fuel economy advantage.
Its only 30lbs heavier than the America, with higher HP and torque numbers it probably pulls very well. It has a lean angle of 31 degrees which is respectable. The America is a little higher but it looks like the Scout can do the twisted roads ok.
I would think the last thing Triumph or HD wants is a modern looking under a liter bike for 9 grand with liquid cooling and a belt.
I don't think I could be a buyer for a technical reason. No ABS.
