Norton Commando description

Original Paint, 13k orig miles, very nice. Genuine Dunstall mufflers. Clear title can be purchased and shipped world wide.

 

1975 Norton mk3 electric start roadster.  Original Paint and Original 13k miles.  In beautiful untouched shape original tool kit, mirror air box Union keys etc..  Clear title can be shipped Global.

This is a Minnesota motorcycle sold by Wheels Unlimited, it is in very nice original condition.  This is a 1 owner bike (changed hands between family members).  Paint is original, estart works, even has the Union keys for the seat lock and ignition.  Switch gear and dash board all original.

Highlights:

- 1975 mk3 roadster stored properly most of it's life.  It was last registered in 1981.

- MATCHING NUMBERS Frame, Engine, Transmission

- Starts easily and runs strong, no smoke, shifts through the gears

- Original tool kit

- Original plastic tool tray under seat

- Original frame tag mostly unfaded

- Original Union keys

- Electrics Work (Dash lights, blinkers, horn, brake lights)

- Original Paint

- Original side stand and center stand

- Original USA bars

- Original airbox

- Original auto advance and points plate (boyer installed 2 months back)

- Original Grab rail and frame decals

- No broken engine fins or issues

- 2 new tires - Dunlop k81's installed last week.  Prior tires were original made in England tires and dry rotted unsafe

Recent service included 2 new tires, boyer ignition installed, front master cylinder rebuilt, fresh fluids, including fork oil, valves adjusted, head torqued, Carb clean and rebuild, clutch clean and adjust.  Bike starts and sounds mean and pulls hard through the gears.  It has not been leaking at all since tune, not saying it will not drip here and there but it is not currently.

The Bad:

- Speedo works and mileage accrues both trip and miles but the needle gets wonky for speed.  It didn't bother me and I didn't want to mess with an original bike. 

- Bike condition is different for different people you be the judge look at the photos etc., you will find chrome pits and chips and rust and dirt expected with a 40 year old unrestored bike.

This bike is rare, original and has a special MN history being here still, and from a local dealership.  This bike is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time for any reason.  This bike runs and goes down the road as it should, it is 40 years old so there is no warranty expressed or implied.  The bike can be inspected in person for serious buyers in the Minneapolis area.  I will work on my end to meet and prep the bike for shipping but all shipping charges are the buyers responsibility.  The title is clear and this bike can leave the country without any issues.

Not sure if I've ever seen an XJR given the Cafe Racer treatment? Well, until now that is. Created by Italian motorcycle builders, Emporio Elaborazioni, 'The Hound' is based on an XJR1200.

Bonneville from a parallel universe

Fri, 20 Sep 2013

This is the Triumph Speed Twin Concept, a bike commissioned by Triumph to show what the Bonneville might have evolved into, in a parallel universe. I love the concept. Designed by Roy Norton and Tom Kasher who were on a placement at a design studio, I get the impression the pair are into motorcycle and not just designers.

Moto Electra Equips Electric Norton Race Bike with iPad Console

Fri, 14 Sep 2012

Moto Electra has found a new, innovative way to combine old and new technologies in its electric race bike. The Virginia-based Moto Electra has been an active participant in electric motorcycle racing for the last few years, competing against much larger, better funded teams with a race bike using an electric motor and 1950s Norton Featherbed frame. That melding of old and new has produced surprising results, including podium finishes in the TTXGP and victory in a race featuring both electric and gas-powered motorcycles.
