It's a matter of perspective and personal preference Dan.
I doesn't bother me what other people do with their money or time...
Ive thrown on open wallet at the cg250, My experiments didn't pay off but I did learn from my mistakes.

No, it's not a matter of personal preference in this case. This entire thread is about a person that already has a Hawk and now is considering bumping the performance of it. They already bought a bike.
This is about you moving the goal posts when an argument is defeated. Perspective and preference has nothing to do with my points being factual and completely valid.
This is a case of a $500 motocult kit is the cheapest way to get the power they are after.
It's cheaper than swapping the engine to something that gains them nothing more than an OHC engine with less power than the motocult kit would provide them on their CG engine.
Cheaper aside, it's also WAY less work to simply install the motocult package than it would be to swap the engine.
All the same arguments that I made previously, all of them still entirely relevant and true.
I don't know, maybe I missed where the OP asked about Swapping in an engine? Here is the first post for a refresher.

I did a search and found no mention of them here on the forums. Does anybody have any experience with this company?
I have a Hawk 250 and am thinking about doing the basic kit... mostly for fun.

This thread had nothing to do with engine swaps. No matter how great the 172 engine is, it had to do with Motocult and if they were the real deal, which that question was answered.
Anyway, argue amongst yourselves at this point. I'm beyond this silliness.
