Are they actually gonna turn up though?

You've heard the stories....:innocent:

Its unlikely I'd spring for one, but I'd want to touch it before handing over the cash.



The new Norton Commando SF is almost here and we are taking orders now.

[James Deuce]

They're not stories, it's true. About 4 years from paying until getting.

Lol. Likewise. Sexy bike though Mr!

Can't see 7K worth of "extras" on the blinged one over the budget jobby IMO.
No chance of me laying down coin for another pom-bomb...unless it was another Velocette....oh hang on...just did that.

[Paul in NZ]

I saw an awesome bike some place on the net that was a Norton 961 with a hot new bonnie engine in it... I think it looks fantastic...

They took out the Norton engine and put in a Bonneville one, good to see fag packet engineering is alive and well :laugh:

Why did they make Tritons? one overstressed 650/750 made from a 500 must be much the same whoever made it.:rolleyes:

...I should slide a Loncin cbd250 motor in my Velo...save stressing the MOV motor...nobody would notice, I'm sure...

Don't do it, I'd hate to see you make Swarfie cry

Spare frames, they used the Manx engine in those little racey cars. I remember Len Perry trying to sell me a Featherbed frame - ''Never used'' he said. I though $75 was a bit steep, he always overpriced everything.

I sat on one today at the auto sparky in Hamilton, evidently someone has imported three and they are for sale, really nice bikes but at $40,000 I think I will be riding my ole 71 bonnie for a while yet.

[skippa1]

I really like the whole concept up to the price tag. It loses me there......

[AllanB]

Should be in the Pic that make you jizz thread.


Having said than I went limp at the price.

So take one Bonnie, Kit the shit out of the engine, suspension and you will still have $10k left to bribe the wife with.

Fixed that for ya.

[nodrog]

its been so long, you can probably find second hand ones for sale on eBay.

[AllanB]

Fixed that for ya.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Crasherfromwayback again.


Made me laugh! Hmmmm Russian bride?

[Crasherfromwayback]

Made me laugh! Hmmmm Russian bride?

Certainly better than their fucking motorcycles.

[mossy1200]

I like the stock one.
The extras one with usd forks and radial brakes plus black exhaust doesn't do it for me.

$25k would be a price idd think was worth spending.

For sale. BMW K100CR $8,000. That's inflation of real value. Anyone keen PM me.

[rocketman1]

How do they get to that price, for a bike that will not be fully sorted, they havent made one yet that is, so why should they start now.
geez an R9T is $25k and thats dear.
