Enfield also used the same setup with the unit 250 Crusader motor for a one off US only model called the Hornet. I'm in the process of rebuilding one. Noticer the old style forks they used. Very similar to the ones dating way back to the G model rigids.

That bike is really nicely restored.I think I'd be afraid to ride it. Put that baby in the living room and watch TV on it.  ERC

More likely, sit on the TV and watch Enfield!
