Half of it also looked like this, which I'm personally a big fan of:

Didn't Kickstart have one? Incredibly rare these days, moreso then the Comet I'd have thought.

Now I'm not so against that one. It's not for me but it's for someone. There has been some thought and effort put into it. I think the rearsets are quite cleverly done, they've at least braced the forks having removed the mudguard and have taken steps to stop shite being flung into the bellmouth.
It is an actual cafe racer. Albeit a sluggish one.

Some nice touches agreed (the paint and rearsets as you mention) but nothjng hangs together, the seat hump and the angled hoop don't fit, lower part of faiting is unsupported and ready to flap (if you can get that fast) and the Gulf sticker doesn't line up.. also no good for riding in flairs ,,

I often wondered "if I had a junk 125 I might take all the cheapest shite from eBay and see what it'll look like" (just for the craic)
Now I don't have to wonder

TBF that's one of the better things you can do with a 250 ShiteHawk..
Lose the startling blue wheels and add a rear mudguard I wouldn't be too offended. I'd only want to pay 750 quid for it though- max.

That BM is truly ugly. I thought the trend was to 'chop' BMs so they have less weight and are better suited to travelling 0.8 miles from one top-knot hangout to another, not make them unrideable....

I think FortNine did a bit on these bikes recently. tl;dr car engine, shaft drive, great tourer, easy a 100,000 mile bike. Totally unsuited to off-road work ofc. Oh wait... urban scrambler, silly me
