They still make them...

Maaaan! You're so much of help with that parts' catalogue! I've been looking for the brake pads (front/rear on taobao) and couldn't find the matching ones.
Thank you!!!

Right, it's just that I haven't seen one. I guess JinLun is a somehow rebranded Regal Raptor...

In the states that bike was sold as tank 250, baja phoenix, and the other names mentioned, in other countries it sells under 100 other names like mondial and Zanella like these customized examples below:

If it were me I would find a similar blown engine motorcycle for cheap and swap the frame so it can be legal for the road again, then you can take a little time [and very little money] to make something nice from it.

Check this out, this is not a lot of money or work to make it look nice:

That's just a nice paint and polish, drop the rear a few inches and tarted up with cheap add ons which are less than $200-300 US.

Even though you painted it, it would shine right back up if you stripped and polished it.

They're not that bad, and they can look awesome if you take the time to do it up right.

Alright, so I found this in the same parking lot, where I parked my ratted ChunLan:

Apparently, some smart dude saw my bike, did pictures and asked someone to copy-copy. With a typical Chinese twist on Harley stickers and Akrapovich pipes.
I needed to differentiate immediately. Just so, the bike shop I did my ChunLan in, had a basket with an inbuilt light, handmade for some scooter and never installed.
I absolutely needed to have it. The basketlight was installed with zip-ties and a piece of a coat hanger.

You should mount a big rubber dildo on your saddle. In just the right position. See if he copies THAT!

Of course that would pose challenges for you to ride your own bike...
