Could this become the elusive and mythical Genuine Cruiser 300?

This blogger on Scootin' Old Skool seems to think it would be a good idea.

The blog is a bit out of date. I believe Scomadi has given up on the idea of using a Piaggio Quasar engine in the proposed 300. I also note that the blogger says he doesn't think the Scomadi could meet a price point for US sales.

I have seen the top secret renderings of the mythical Genuine 300, and this is not it.

You know, that was forever ago. I'm going to reach out to Genuine and see if we can tell that story of the bike that never was.

I'd
really like to hear that story. I know I'm not the only one.

It is indeed a mythical creature that you don't dare gaze at. We would enjoy the story of the (almost) creation of it. We're bored, bro.

would love to hear the story.
SYM Is coming out with a 200cc Fiddle 3 I believe....
Its time for Genuine to step up the game. The 170i is nice, but I'm just not feeling it. ( And yes I have seat time on the Hooligan )

Maybe when Phil's NDA runs out he'll release the original line drawing for the Rainbow Unicorn.

Sales of the Blur, or similar mid-sized bikes by Kymco and Sym probably don't lead them to believe it would be a big seller. Heck, sales of the BV350 have been nothing special, and it is a great scooter at a very competitive price.
