Norton Commando description

First off, if you have zero feedback, a low number of feedback, or no recent activity on ebay you must contact me prior to bidding. Failure to do so will result in your bid being cancelled. I am sorry to require this, but there are a lot of fake bidders and time wasters out there. It takes time and money to list an item and I want all bidders to be legitimate. Payment is due within 7 days of the auctions end, no exceptions. No Paypal for full purchase. Bike must be picked up within 3 weeks of auctions end or storage fees will apply.

For sale is a fully restored, numbers matching 1972 Norton Commando 750. This bike underwent a very thorough 5 year restoration by one of the nation's top Norton restorers, CMI of Nashville TN. No expenses were spared. Only NOS Norton parts were used. The last picture shows the bill for the restoration totaling over $10,000.00, not including the price of the bike itself. Absolutely nothing went untouched on this bike from frame, to engine, to wiring, to chrome and paint. The main things that aren't original on the bike are the SS tank (very rare), bar end mirrors, single Mikuni carb, and electronic ignition. The combination of the single modern Mikuni carb and the Boyer electronic ignition makes this bike very reliable. I would be comfortable riding this bike anywhere. It starts very easy and on the first kick as shown in the video. Everything on this bike works, including all switches and lights/signals. This bike is the total package. You could use it to ride or show. It's only a new set of header pipes away from being museum quality (because of some blueing), and it rides better than any other Norton you will find out there. This is your chance to buy one of the nicest Nortons out there. THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION. THE LAST BIDDER WILL WIN! 

I have tried to take plenty of pictures to show all aspects of the bike. I don't want there to be any surprises. Although it's been restored, it's a 42 year old British bike, so don't expect a new one when it arrives. Please ask any and all questions before bidding. The bike does have a clear TN title. The bike is being sold as is, where is with no warranty. 

Shipping is the buyers responsibility, but I will work with the shipper of your choice in any way possible. Payment due by bank wire, cash in person, or cashiers check. Full payment is due within 7 days and a $500 non refundable deposit is due via PayPal within 24 hours of auctions end. Please contact me within 24 hours of auction close to make arrangements for payment. All funds must clear my bank prior to bike or title being released. The bike must be picked up within 3 weeks of auctions end or a storage fee will apply. Please have an idea of the shipping cost and who you're going to use before you bid if you plan on having the bike shipped.

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.
