Modern Buddy

...my local Genuine dealer hinted that we may have a 200cc Blur here in the near future. Couldn't pin him down for more details, but there's hope...

If that actually happens, I'll be selling my '06. Anyone want to buy an '06 with 10K miles for $5,800? I might let it go for $5,700 if I'm feeling good that day.


Hey! Don't get your shorts in a knot, I was just kidding about that price.

This is just another rumor, there is nothing else new from 2007's motorcycle show.

I can see genuine probably will bring back the blur, I'm sure the sales would be much better now than they were previously, but for now, there is no confirmation of a blur coming out for 2009/10

illnoise took this picture at the 2007 show, it's a PGO gmax 200 rebadged as a blur, notice they forgot to change the mirrors original colors too.

Am I alone on this, or is there anyone else that would like to get their hands on a set of those PGO rearview mirrors? I really like in inset silver piece and the slightly different hinge design where the mirrors meet the stems.

Ive learned to take rumors with a grain of salt. Im sure the Blur will come back sooner or later, especially with this scooter boom, but honestly i dont see Genuine changing from the current 150cc 2 valve simply for ease of service and replacement parts cataloging. I could see all 2009+ Buddy's being 150cc thou since its already available now.

Yeah, I like those mirrors too.

Rumor or not, it is coming from a Genuine dealer...

True, the "rumor" came from a Genuine dealer, but whats it really matter? Did a chief executive at Genuine Scooter Co. of Chicago tell you directly? Unless it came straight from the horses mouth, i wouldnt believe a word of it. The auto world is full of so much mis-information, its hard to really know whats truth and whats fiction. Thats what I like about Apple, regardless whether you love or hate Apple, no rumor can be held as truth until the keynote meeting when Jobbyjob announces the new products as official.

I wish they'd bring out the 250cc. Not sure how 150cc vs. 200cc would stack up - I'm sure there'll be a difference, but I don't know if it would be enough for me to trade in my 150cc Blur.
