    The Norton twin has a 3 piece bolt up crank,it's easy to make a 270deg crank.....so who knows,it could be a V twin in disguise.

    Personaly I'd prefer a plain Roadster or Interstate,I'm not too keen on the Cafe racer look,been there,done that.

    I was meaning visually speaking

    if you have a close look at it, it's a JPN replica, just like Norman White & Rex Butcher rode to victory in the 1973 Thruxton 500 mile race

    It should be White with a Red frame & have a disc front brake (norvil disc/ lockheed caliper). It would be worth more if it was original.

    A Laverda 750 SFC is completely orange bodywork & has a twinleading shoe drum front brake.
