1970 Norton 750 Commando
I am finally parting with my 1970 Norton. I have owned the bike
since 1974. It is a pure stock 750 with
matching numbers.
It was professionally repainted with factory
original metal flake from England and
the finish is gorgeous. It has a sweet John Player fiberglass front
fender and the stock original metal
fender. The exhaust is NOS and perfect, and the old style (curved
shape) rare chainguard was rechromed.
This bike has the rare ring-type headlight mount only found on
1969-70.5 bikes.
The seat is slightly newer than
the 1970 model, I believe it is 1973 and is a much nicer profile than
the original "pancake" seat.
The whole engine
was gone through less than 10,000 miles ago, and runs great. I
drained the fuel for repainting and have kept the
bike in my house since, so I have not run it.
This is a very
original very clean bike. It is NOT a frame off resto
of some project bike found in a barn- it is my personal bike for 38
years! (PS: air cleaner, original style tank decals,
original fuel lines, etc. are now on the bike).
Tires and battery
are not new.
$7500
