I think of it as the "Crossfire's Cousin" because:

1) It was made during the Crossfire years.
2) It was marginally successful - both the 900 and 1700 versions are still made to this day, but the 2000 just didn't sell.
3) It is kind of a unicorn these days, parts are not easy to find other than oil filters, tires, fluids and belts.
4) No one seems to know what it is, but it sure gets a LOT of attention. Every time I sit on the curb at DQ eating my ice cream, I get comments and questions - just like the Crossfire.
5) Its resale value is not what it should be. I bought an awesome toy for (not a lot of) cash and people act like it's something special, which it is - just like a Crossfire.
