It’s a good day for news from Genuine Scooters here at NYCS Towers today.

JustGottaScoot’s David Harrington recently got Genuine’s founder Philip McCaleb on the phone to answer some questions about their upcoming releases. The interview has since been posted to both JustGottaScoot and Genuine’s websites.

The highlights:

• The new 4-stroke Stella is anticipated in dealers nationwide in mid-May following a press-junket. Followed shortly thereafter by the Blur 220i in dealers in the last week of May.
• The European versions of the 4-stroke Stella has been selling incredibly well, boding well for the US market and aftermarket support.
• Existing 2-stroke Stella accessories will fit the new 4-stroke version, excepting the rear rack. A revised rear rack is being released.
• The revised Blur will be supported with OEM accessories including a custom rack-case from Soft Italia.
• Genuine are working with PGO on developing a 300cc scooter. It’s in the R&D stage. It’ll be liquid cooled with 14″ wheels with a “unique blend of vintage characteristics from the 50s and 60s.” The bike will likely also be available in a 150cc version, and is targeted for Winter 2010/2011.
• Genuine is co-sponsoring an upcoming 12 month 50 state tour on a 4-stroke Stella by a stunt/adventure driver.
