Norton All description

Matching numbers, steel slimline interstate tank, steel side covers. I have owned this bike and babied it since 1981. Over the years I maintained it to the nth degree. It has a Boyer (recently installed), fresh battery (less than 6 months old), full service, new plugs, valve adjust, fresh fluids, chains checked and adjusted. Charging system good to go. Clutch plates cleaned and inspected, ATF used for primary oil. Too many stainless, polished and plated parts to list, but if you look closely at the photos you will see what I mean. Tires have a lot of tread left, brakes have been checked. Top end rebuild including standard bore new pistons., carefully broken in, with less than 1k miles use. Not a leaker, maybe a small drip from primary after riding. Highly detailed and clean. The speedo tends to indicate a slightly higher speed than actual, odometer is fine, as well as the tach. ,All in all a stunning looking Norton and a great ride as well. Clear title in my name Mileage listed is probably somewhat less than actual.

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.
