Norton 850 Commando description
|
1973 Norton 850 Commando Roadster. Older restoration. Kick start only! Usually starts on the first or second kick. Recent tires and battery. Runs well and rides fine. The "numbers" do not match so this will never be a museum showpiece or blue chip collectible, just an honest rider. Sharp eyed viewers will note that the front brake rotor is on the left which was not something that happened to Nortons until '74 or was it '75? Anyway, the point is that this is not a purely original machine. The original Amal carbs have been replaced with a single Mikuni, I do not have the originals... I have replaced the leaky fuel petcocks with some Italian made units, forget the name, but they work brilliantly. You should be able to see all the little wear items in the photos supplied. Everything works but the high beam indicator and neutral indicator on top of the headlight. The only issues it has that I am aware of are a parasitic electrical drain that will kill the battery if left unattended. It was this way when I got it and I have never found the time to chase down the gremlin causing this. I pull the main fuse after riding. It is British and it leaks oil. It looks like it has new gaskets but none the less still leaks. I snugged everything down once and it stopped leaking for about a week but went right back to leaking again. It has Boyer electronic ignition too. It is essentially a fair weather toy for me so no doubt someone more knowledgeable than I will find that some things may need adjusting for peak performance. I have a Haynes shop manual for it, it has a cover and a box full of small bits and pieces that may come in handy some day. I don't know that I would recommend riding it across the country, I never tried that so could not offer any guarantee you would make it without incident. Not even sure you could do that when it was new...anyway the point it probably better to ship it. Interested parties are encouraged to inspect and test drive in person or hire someone to inspect for you. Feel free to ask questions and I will do my best to answer.
Shipping would be up to the purchaser but I will assist where possible and within reason. Payment will need to be certified funds or cash if picking up in person. Payment should be made within 10 days of the end of the auction. If it is to be shipped, payment will need to be received and cleared by my financial insititution before it will be allowed to leave. NO PayPal accepted for this auction |

Bonneville from a parallel universe
Fri, 20 Sep 2013This 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.
Bonhams Auctions 1966 Norton Manx For $100K
Tue, 22 Oct 2013The top selling model of Bonhams annual sale of collectors’ motorcycles, a 1966 Norton 350cc Manx prepared by legendary tuner Francis Beart and raced by Joe Dunphy and Keith Heckles, fetched a whopping $100,481 last Sunday. The auction price more than doubled the top selling estimate and set a new world record for a Manx sold at auction. Eighty percent of the 436 lots offered sold at the auction totaling $2,168,314 Hot on its heels came the technological marvel from an earlier era that produced the sale’s best result when the 250cc Moto Morini Grand Prix racer from the 1960s fetched $145,081. The Molnar Norton Manx, prepared and entered by Fred Walmsley for the late World Champion Barry Sheene, sold for $89,490.
The question is: is this Stacey?
Fri, 13 Jan 2012Sex sells, right? So when you're trying to sell your bike, a picture of a pretty girl will fool anyone into buying anything. Or maybe not.
