motorscooterguide.net/Unfortunately the list of discontinued scooters is even longer. It includes 4 machines: Genuine’s Blur 220, Honda’s Forza, Suzuki’s Burgman 400 and Yamaha’s TMAX. Collectively, these four machines have 31 years of experience in the North American market.

I heard that a 400cc XMAX will be introduced in Europe in 2018. Maybe they will sell it here too.

I thought of another one to add to your list, w650. The Genuine Stella is out of production, as producer LML has fallen into insolvency. The Genuine Stella is a steel body replica of a classic Vespa; right down to the spare tire. Most were 150cc 2 strokes with a four speed manual, but more recent versions had a four stroke and CVT.  |

I really wanted a Genuine Blur 220 when they were first introduced. Not a freeway scoot, but they would do 65mph. The engine had EFI, but it was air cooled and valve adjustments weren't complicated.
-Alas, they were not as reliable as the Buddies and Stellas, so they didn't sell well.
