Norton Commaando description
If you have ever wanted to own and restore a classic Norton Commando, this could be a great opportunity. I bought this "barn find" example two years ago with that intention. It was, in my opinion, the best of the breed with many of the improvements of the later models but retaining the right foot shift and classic style of the earlier bikes.
It is an original, un-molested, low mileage, numbers matching bike, with a manufacture date of 6/74 on the frame head stock. It is finished in its original metallic flake blue paint finish which is rarely seen these days. Speedo shows 6978. The motor turns over with good compression, carbs are free, clutch works as does the transmission. I have not tried to start this bike and do not know its mechanical history. It has a K&N air filter and period aftermarket cocktail shaker mufflers. The front fender has 3 dings from were something fell on it during storage but I have a good used fender to go with the bike. Seat is in very good shape, chrome on the 19" wheel rims is decent, the tires are dry rotted from storage and may be the originals. No main stand, the gas tank is steel, some surface rust underneath but no rust inside, but it will need old gas deposits cleaned out. Clear Kansas title, correct Lucas head light, and a new Lucas rear lens will be included to replace the broken one currently on the bike.
Please check out the pictures, ask questions, the bike is to be sold as is where is and inspection is welcome. I am located in Wichita KS. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, U-Ship is often the cheapest domestically. Bidders with zero feedback or from overseas, please email me before bidding. This is a NO RESERVE auction, bid to win, I will not end the listing early and I do not have a buy-it-now price.
A deposit of $500.00 through paypal will be required at the auctions close, the remainder to be paid before pickup of the bike.
