No reference to the Blur on Genuine's website

Post by Dav-o »

Gawd knows I love my Blur, and I'm thankful that Genuine brought them to us when they did, but now I'm a little distressed that these days Genuine's website apparently makes no mention of the Blur whatsoever. What's the deal with that? Is that fair? (Particularly when we'd like to convince our insurers that these bikes exist and we didn't make up the name...)

Can we collectively ask Genuine to keep a tab on their site about the old Blur?

I think they removed it for good so people dont keep bugging them about the bike. The bike is no longer imported to the USA, so they want to keep their email, and dealers clutter free. It's like to black cat too, it exist, but not on their site.

I don't think Scooterworks or Genuine spend a whole lot of time keeping either website particularly current. There was a link in another post today to the Prima exhaust for the Blur on Scooterworks' website and it said they have it in stock. But you couldn't find that part on a search if you wanted to. Likewise there are no manuals or other PDFs available on the Genuine site, or at least they're not linked. The Genuine site is pretty light on real content, and doesn't change very often, which is fine. But I wouldn't read too much into it. The Blur's not on there, I imagine, simply because it's not in the '08 lineup.

The Blur exhaust was super easy to find on Scooterworks.com Just search for "Blur" minus the quote marks, and the exhaust comes up as one of the 4 or 5 parts available for the Blur....

But yea, it would be nice to see a "past models" section on the Genuine website. I mean, the Blur didnt even exist on the site when there WERE still Blurs available at dealers AND at Genuine Chicago.

Ha ha! You are correct. They must have just added it in the last few days. Not a bad price really. Match that with a new jet and some roller weights and now we're cookin' with gas!
