(Note: Actual scooter excitement greater than it appears in video)
In case you hadn’t heard, Genuine has brought back their Sport Scooter, the Blur (must…stop…typing “Blue”). This time around the Blur SS 220i (as its name suggests) has got the power of a 220cc, fuel injected engine that’ll get you up to around 70 MPH straight out of the box. I’d be interested to see what a performance CVT, CDI and coil might do to this baby and I’m sure we’ll find out in time. (MSRP $3899)
You can get some first impressions of the Blur from the following, quality websites:
- 2StrokeBuzz
- JustGottaScoot
- More to come
Another good thing about the Blur is that it’s ripe for the pimping! I wanna do one up in ScooterScoop green!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! I always thought that they made a HUGE mistake in cancelling that scoot. Now we modern heads can have something to rave about from them!

I just saw this scoot at the Motorcycle Shop in San Antonio! Great looking scooter and at a very nice price point as well. Will the scooter deliver in the performance and handling categories? Will my big feet fit in those shallow foot wells? Time will tell.

What a Great FUN Bike – The Blur 220i
This scooter does what no other scooter has done before – it’s a crossover vehicle. The motorcyclists don’t know if it is a scooter or some new racing sport motorcycle. It is so much fun to ride (so much fun)! Also, it is well made and looks great!
I was planning to buy a motorcycle but backed off on purchasing a bike because of ALL the shifting I would do driving it around town. Now I have that motorcycle, but one that is twice the fun to ride! The Blur SS 220i.
It is an excellent vehicle I suggest you seriously consider it if you are looking to purchase a scooter or motorcycle.
