Each time they got smaller, I doubt we will be seeing any phoenix this time.

That' a pity, I have always liked the look of them.  Interesting small and light bit of kit.  Spendy though but they look very well made in the flesh.    Somebody will buy the name and outsource to some chinese factory  and start banging them out ala Benelli, Reiju, Moto Morini, Fantic, BMW, KTM,  Husky, and prolly many more.  China will become the new Japan in time.

I’m pretty sure the current motor they use is a Chinese built derivative of the Yamaha lump they used on the earlier bikes, regardless of if they fold or not, I suspect the bikes will continue to be made but possibly under a different name. It would make a good addition to some other brand that only has mega expensive bikes like Norton for example.
