Really? The line under the tank/seat/tailpeice is all wrong, which is surely the point?Like the front fairing and I'm sure the owner likes it, which is the main thing.
I love the Gulf colour scheme.
Each to their owwn
Ooooooooh.... The only thing I don't like about that is the fact that it's not mine!

A modern day Triton anyone?
Hinckley Bonnie engine in a 961 Commando frame. Looks tasty.

Looks good apart from tiny engine and brakes. I get that you think it is cafe racer due to looks but the racer part is sadly lacking.
Y'see I really enjoy riding one. They weigh hardly anything and handle brilliantly. They're also very good brakes, being the full width hub.
Didn't you get on with the one you rode then?
(ps Bantam racing is a huge sport and highly contested by very talented riders/engineers and has been since they started, donkies years ago).
Never had a bantam, had a cubbie and a terrier. Good fun for what they were but I wouldn't even consider a tiger cub a cafe racer.
For me a cafe racer is about going fast and loud.
Each to their own mate. You like that old 1920s and earlier stuff while it leaves me cold. Just the way of the world. I also don't think unit construction looks as good as pre unit. Late 50s and very early 60s are best looking to me.... And no tin chain cases either.
