That second ad says 350cc, 17 horsepower. I've never seen a Hurricane come up anywhere in classic scooter/motorcycling circles, but by searching Google for Japanese sites, I've found a couple of pics -- one resto project:

Roughly 6700 of the 250 were produced.
Roughly 5000 of the 125 were produced.

Here's an ad for the 250:

Cool motorbikes. Look just like old Brit machines. I'll keep my eyes open for them.
  Thanks for posting this, Shane!
