The "John Player Norton" meets the "Brumos Porsche Norton", all in one bike, nice.

Very nice. I sent it to a friend who deals in old Nortons and Triumphs. Thanks. I would want it but I already have too many toys.

See the other Norton in there? Looks like the tail fairing of a Fastback. I had one just like it.

I thought it was kind of cool... until I saw it from the front.

I'd rather have this:
1968 NORTON COMMANDO fastback original

A friend of mine had a JPS in the late 70's....He talked me into being his "co-rider" for a six hour road race....Change riders ever hour......He went down at about 120.

I had to drive him to the hosp so the ambulance could stay at the track.....Emergency room was so crowded with riders, I had to sit on the floor.

Fun bike, but just a dressed up Commando.
