Are there any gear driven motorcycle engines outside of the Italian breeds? (I ask as I'm not aware of any)

I was considering the newer Ninja 250-J, as I had decent results with the older 250-F, but they forgot to bring the FI to NA, so it got knocked off my short list. I'm too young to feel the cold in my bones come winter, and too old to fiddle with a bike that needs to idle before it can be ridden.
