Norton 650SS description

Gorgeous 650SS (Sports Special) Vintage Cafe Racer. Exceptionally rare, especially in the states. Original Slimline Featherbed frame. Older restoration with premium Brit parts. Alloy tank, Manxman solo seat, rearsets, Goldie Pipes, Concave headlamp, Hagon rear shocks, Amal concentrics with chokeless velocity stacks (stock monoblics tend to flood in the downward angle to the head). Wassell bars. Lucas Magneto. Matching numbers engine to frame.  Matching aluminum front fender included (I prefer off). Purchased several years ago from an older enthusiasts estate. Had not been driven in a while so I gave it all new fluids, new K70 tires (150 miles on them), fuel hoses, Brit petcocks, both carbs rebuilt with Amal kits, throttle cables. Plugs & wires, adjusted valves, NOS brake switch, Speedo cable, Many consider the 650 Nortons the most desirable due to the smoother operation before going to 750-850cc, which brought more vibration. This bike is an absolute runner. The handling of this old beauty makes you swear it can't be 52 years old. Is it perfect? Don't be silly, it's a 60's British classic. Normal oil leaks. Lights are reliable. Beautiful Smiths dials work great. On occasion the horn takes a holiday. The small stuff doesn't bother me. I would rather keep as much as intact & original as possible. Does not smoke. Plugs show a healthy engine. It has had a conversion to use a Mity Max electronic control which works great, eliminating the battery etc, but at idle the lamps go dim as no battery to pick up the slack. NY inspection had no issues, check your state laws to be sure. Easy conversion back if you want to add weight & get a tick slower. :) NY State does not issue titles in pre 74 bikes, so you get a transferable registration that you can bring to your DMV. Odometer shows about 1000 miles, so that I assume is after the restoration many years ago. True mileage unknown. Several manuals & a few small spares. If you look up Cafe Racer, you will see a picture of this bike. Hurry up before I come to my senses. $12500.  $500 deposit on PayPal, balance within 7 days. Cash or transfer, cashiers checks ok but may have to wait a few days to clear

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

The Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, visited Britain’s largest motorcycle show, Motorcycle Live, at the National Exhibition Center in Birmingham. The visit saw the Duke astride numerous motorcycle models including UK icons Norton and Triumph as well as a Ducati 1199 Superleggera (one of the few men able to afford the $70,000 rarity). During his visit Prince William enjoyed a display of off-road riding – one of nine opportunities for visitors to ride at Motorcycle Live, eight of which are inside the halls of the NEC. He also met Dean Linehan, exhibitions director of MCI Exhibitions, the company that organizes the annual motorcycle exhibition.
