Seen in person but haven't ridden. It is even better looking in person. Looks well built also.

Compared to the Norton 961, Triumph Thruxton, BMW R9T, this is the best bang for the buck in the retro cafe racer market. And having the reliability of the japanese bikes is a huge plus. My first bike was a Kawasaki KE100 dual sport, might have to make my next one a z900RS. I would love to see Honda bring back the naked goldwing. I had a 1978 GL1000 which was one of my favorite bikes.

Definitely a nice looking bike. So many nice bikes to get not enough garage space or time to ride them.

The high pipes definitely set it off.

Just added #14 to the stable. This will be fun in retirement two years from now. 1979 GL1000, ~48,000 miles. Moline Ultra Sidecar; cir: mid-1980’s, period-correct Wixom fairing. My second ever non-aircooled motorcycle.

Peteremsley, yes, with bigger springs on rear, a little boost of oil in front shocks. Has been a hacker for decades; proven. We are very excited to have this.

Oh yeah! Road trips with the wife of 30+ years, ice-cream trips with grandkids one day...

I just finished build an 1/8th scale R/C bike from Kyosho. It's an early '90's Suzuki S.R.T. RGV-G that competed in the 500cc World Championship. The rider is articulated on all of his arm and leg joints, plus his head swivels, so he hangs off when cornering. He is hooked up to the steering servo. Fun stuff.

Sold a pair of identical Nortons a few years ago. The other was was more of a project bike:



1/2 hour ride and your Nutz were numb.....then they would start to Tingle......I hated that......

I thought their "Iso-lastic" suspension and rubber engine mounting was supposed to take care of all of that.

If the isolasstics are not adjusted properly they vibrate otherwise they are quite smooth.

Not a Commando

Actually a '65 Norton N15. Basically a Matchless frame with a Norton Atlas 750 motor. The long dark winter nights here in SoCal will be spent wrenching on this one. Here is a finished N15

Beautiful N15 you have there! I own on too (35 years):<) The tool box covers did not sell me on the N15 call, not sure what's up them?? Maybe a P11?
