1970 Norton Commando 750 , This is a super rare one of a kind custom race bike and you have the opportunity to own it! Ed Labelle was the owner, builder, and rider of this beautiful record holding Norton. He applied his trade from the 1940's until his recent passing. He is well known for his expertise with English machinery, and his former shop in West Philadelphia was like a Mecca to those fascinated by British style motorcycles. Ed's Norton reigned as Eastern National Champion in all four years that he entered with this bike. Ed began the Norton's construction with a lightweight duplex frame that he designed and built out of Titanium 81 or (T81). It has a 750cc Norton motor that retains its original displacement class and boasts a now impossible to find Norris cam.
