They had a factory in India, which continued making them under different (local I think) ownership. They've been making them ever since. According to Motorcycle Consumer News tests, the performance is similar to a GZ250 if I recall correctly. Hence the observation that it's not fast, but brings a smile and gets great mileage. It definitely has a huge cool factor, though. I've drooled on a couple of them at motorcycle shows. There have been a few changes, but they're still a very interesting piece of history. I may be dreaming this, but I think I might have read that they have a fuel injected model now.
