[edit] End of Production
When the company was forced to shut down, it was producing the 175, Monarch, Deluxe, Road Kings and CL II. The main reason for the company's collapse was labor trouble and increasing levels of pollution control norms which were making the two stroke bikes that the company produced obsolete.
The low mileage, increasing fuel costs and starting trouble especially in the winter were contributing factors to the low sales of the vehicle. Moreover, the new 100cc two-stroke and four-stroke bikes had better fuel efficiency and low maintenance.
[edit] Continuing Loyalty
Although this motorcycle is long gone there are many hard core enthusiasts who swear by this bike and continue to maintain and run these mechanical workhorses.
