Ceasing Production
Shortly after the Gilroy Indian factory closed, Kawasaki withdrew the Drifter from the north-American market.
Following the 2005 model release, the 1500 Drifter was retired from the Kawasaki stable. Its lighter-weight counterpart, the Kawasaki Vulcan 800 Drifter, introduced in 2000, remained in production for one more year before it too ceased production.

Famous quotes containing the words ceasing and/or production:
“Being an artist means ceasing to take seriously that very serious person we are when we are not an artist.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
“It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
