Blur 220 out-the-door price?
Just wondering, what have you guys paid in final costs for the Blur 220? Accessories or not. I know this will vary from place to place but I would like to get a general idea of what I'm looking at above the MSRP of $3899.
I couldn't find this info anywhere else on the forum so sorry if this is a repost.
Thanks!

Kinda depends on how you ride. Comparing the Sportcity and the Blur is like comparing (in motorcycle terms) a sport bike (Blur) and a cruiser (Sportcity).crackhead wrote:Thanks!
I have to admit, I am now also considering an Aprilia Sportcity 250. Any opinions of pros/cons considering the two?
Some people can break a crowbar in a sandbox.

I see the Sportcity as a sports bike too. Although, I can definitely see why some might think of it as a cruiser.
What I NEED this time around - something significantly larger than a 150cc, fuel injection (I am tired of effects caused by drastic elevation changes - I live in the Smoky Mountain range), CVT -cause I love shifting my Stella but want an alternative, disc brakes on both the front and back.
Both the SC250 and the Blur meet these needs. SC is $800 more than the Blur. Blur is 2nd generation, SC is 3rd. Aprilia has been around longer than GSC and it is Italian.
I have a Genuine Scooter Company scooter and would gladly have another. It's a toss-up as far as I'm concerned.

I haven't ridden the Aprilia so I couldn't tell you for sure, but what I CAN tell you is that compared to other scooters I've ridden, the Blur is in a class by itself. It simply handles like a CBR.crackhead wrote:I see the Sportcity as a sports bike too. Although, I can definitely see why some might think of it as a cruiser.
The ride is harsher than other scooters I've ridden, but with that comes enormous maneuverability.
Something else to consider is service/maintenance. Aprilia is up there with Ducati and BMW on service costs because the shops generally charge higher labor rates.
