In this paper the authors study the conformal integrable models obtained from conformal reductions of WZNW theory associated with second order constraints. These models are called bosonic superconformal Toda models due to their conformal spectra and their resemblance to the usual Toda theories. From the reduction procedure they get the equations of motion and the linearized Lax equations in a generic Z gradation of the underlying Lie algebra. Then, in the special case of principal gradation, they derive the classical r matrix, fundamental Poisson relation, exchange algebra of chiral operators and find out the classical vertex operators. The result shows that their model is very similar to the ordinary Toda theories in that one can obtain various conformal properties of the model from its integrability.
