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:
“I know this well, that if one thousand, if one hundred, if ten men whom I could name,—if ten honest men only,—ay, if one HONEST man, in this State of Massachusetts, ceasing to hold slaves, were actually to withdraw from this copartnership, and be locked up in the county jail therefor, it would be the abolition of slavery in America. For it matters not how small the beginning may seem to be: what is once well done is done forever.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul.”
—W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)
