The SandViper chassis is heavier than the SandSpider but has better suspension. The last year of the 650cc was 2009. It is a Mitsubishi 2g24 engine mated to a Suzuki F series 4-speed transaxle
That chassis is a little too heavy for that engine. Unless you plan to boost the engine or swap it out, I suggest the Viper in a 800cc or larger or look for a Spider 650.
The distributor in the US was bought by a company that went under after GM's debt to them was discharged under bankruptcy. The company continued selling in other countries until Joyner was able to reapply for new EPA certification and ramp up business. They no longer sell carbureted models due to the EPA.
