Yamaha DT175

I was in Ecuador a couple of weeks ago and spotted a new Yamaha DT175, what a surprise, a new two stroke street legal moto. I checked out the Yamaha Ecuador website tonight and found it listed, I thought you guys might enjoy this link http://www.yamaha.com.ec/motos.php?motname=DT175D
I have owned a few two stroke Yamaha's over the years so was thrilled to see a new one. I'm wondering where it is built, I'll be back in Quito in a few weeks, will go to a dealer and check it out. All I can say is wow!

Nice! It would be great to get ahold of a new DT175 engine to repower a vintage bike.
