I've seen articles & heard them comment about it on the Highside Lowside podcast.It was made in the USA & powered by half a Chevy V8 car engine.
Amongst other things It cost to much.I don't know how many were sold but they closed the operation in 2018.

Back in the late 90's when it was originally in all the mags it had FZR400 heads and barrels. I distinctly remember it because I had an FZR400RR at the time.
