LML is supposedly working on FI 200s. I think the US will probably skip the carbed version altogether.

You can buy the 200cc engine if you really want to go that route…

As for when, don't hold your breath. I have a feeling we'll see those PK-bodied automatic small frames before we see a 200 Stella.

Why not, exactly?

Whatever sort of schedule or plan Genuine may have had for rolling out these LML models was upset by the scooters being held for a year by Customs. There was a lot invested in the new models and the holdup was very costly at a time when the market was tanking. Bringing over another new engine right now will be costly, and a 200 Stella would be their highest-price model. The US market for these shifters is still pretty much a niche, while many would-be buyers want something that looks vintage but has an auto transmission.

Soooo… My guesses and opinion: they're going to focus on moving more Stella 150s (they're bringing over two tones) and the less-expensive Buddys, which are still top sellers. If any new models come in, maybe something lower-priced than a 200 would be.
