Yes the Deauville is here in the US, it's the NT700, based on the old V-twin motor not the new parallel twin efficiency monster. Funny though it is priced nearly as high as the ST1300. Shaft drive IS really nice but as gearing on bikes is consistently too low for maximizing efficiency, re-gearing becomes a problem.

I think Redyaris's VT500 got some impressive numbers with stock gearing
Big scooters I don't really like unless you have some use for the automatic drive because it does costs mpg (10% between my Helix and my GN) and can see you stuck on the side of the road (no jump start possible, belts can happen to snap if out of maintenance schedule)
