    You've heard the stories....

    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.

    They're not stories, it's true. About 4 years from paying until getting.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    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.

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

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

    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.

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

    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.
