I found this article on LML's reentry to the Indian market. It's over a year old but I found this line intriguing: "LML is also mulling the launch of new products in the coming years. Higher capacity scooter models aimed at the lifestyle segment are in the works..."

Does the Genuine Cruiser still live?

The short answer: no.
The long answer: It simply costs to much to develop with the current market and conditions. Genuine launched two new models this year, which is a big cost not just to the company, but dealers as well.
There may be some higher displacement models in the pipeline, but they likely will not be the cruiser that was being developed by Genuine and PGO. More likely, variations of existing or coming PGO and LML models. The Hooligan, for instance, is a hybrid of two PGOs with added features just for the US version.
