While the agreement to produce the Galepet under contract to Mitsubishi was a failure, it seems that at least a small number of these bikes, which were almost identical to the Lilac AS-71 prototype, were produced. Three of the Register's contacts own such bikes. The Lilac version, in addition to being badged as a Lilac, had a cantilevered front suspension, while the Mitsubishi engineers insisted on support at both sides of the front wheel. To date the Register has not located any owners of surviving examples of the AS-71, though we know they exist because we have photos.
