Modern Vespa

This caught my attention.

With 110cc, I wonder if this could be a replacement for the Elite that was sold in the US for a couple of years.

I doubt they would bother with it stateside, they already have the PCX and ADV in the 150 class and I don't think there is a need here for something in between the 50cc and 150cc.

If they bring the ADV300 to the US, I might have to hurt some folks while on my way up on the waiting list.

Enrico Punsalang consistently rewrites press releases and doesn't offer anything you couldn't read on the manufacturer's own sales sheet...

Possibly but his stories are the only ones I've ever seen. Cycle World, Motorcyclist, Motorcycle.com and even Motorcycle News are pretty empty of scooter news.

Looks like a slightly cheaper version of the Scoopy

And while I have you here. I know you're Canadian but is there any way that you know of to access American MIC sales numbers for a non MIC member?

Directly? Ooufff, to be honest I've been out of a sales role for too long to answer that, sorry. It's been like 6 years since I worked for Harley and a few more than that since I worked for KYMCO and a local dealership.

Indirectly? If you're into that kind of thing, check out dealernews.com.
They have a new issue every month or so, and will email it to you once a week over and over again lol. They'll talk about industry sales stats and search volumes, usually giving some quarterly updates.

I used to do some content on this kind of thing (example: https://youmotorcycle.com/what-brands-are-motorcyclists-searching-for.html) but it's just soooo niche that it never seemed to get as much traffic or engagement so I've been doing less and less on that kind of stuff, unless I see anything that really gets me excited.

And there you have it.

Sales across all categories are up 21.8%
Scooter sales are up 19.6% over 2020 and 31.4% over 2019.

I'm a facts guy. I like to read what's really going on over the broad spectrum and not just how Harley and Indian are doing.

Thanks
