I guess it's regional, I never see those high dollar larger scooters on the road around here. Even though they are automatic there is no way a millennial is going to spend that much money on one, no way. What big scooters are is a desperate attempt by real motorcycle companies to figure out how to appeal to millennials and still make a profit but while they are shiftless for the unskilled they forgot about the cheap factor. And the cheap factor is paramount to the millennial.
They might as well have simply added an automatic transmission option to their standard motorcycles like Honda did way back in the 1970's with the CB400A Hawk. It would cost the manufacturers less and almost nobody would know the rider wasn't a geek because it looks like a real motorcycle. But if you ever ride an old Hawk remember the clutch lever is really a parking brake.
