Nope,not for me.
What baffles me is how much time & money has gone into something that ends up looking like that

It doesn't even look much like a bultaco. Not that you would want a bike that looks like a bultaco.

LOL. It has a similar tank and headlight.
Bultaco - chain drive, pillion seat/pegs, working front/back mudguards, no stupid bar end mirrors, different suspension, no hole in the frame. Where to start on the engine/exhaust differences?
Fail.

Awful.

My thoughts too - why attempt to recreate a light, low, nimble two stroke single from a long, heavy, ponderous four stroke twin?
To get the bike's ergonomics even vaguely fitting the rider, the seat has to sit miles behind the tank, leaving that visually horrid gap. But pity the rider who has to brake hard and slides forward and ends up sitting on the frame rails - no wonder there's a sheepskin patch on the seat "to provide extra grip"... you'll need it.

Horrible.
Not helped by the photography as it looks like it's available in 75 weekly editions with the first only costing 99p.
