1972 Norton 750 Commando Combat Roadster
Details - Matching Engine and Chassis 203587- 11,650 Miles- 745cc Parallel Twin - Combat Motor- Four-Speed Transmission- Black Paint w/ Gold Graphics- Mikuni Single barrel carburetor- Two-Up seat- Center & Side Stands- Boyer Electronic Ignition- Dunlap Roadmaster Tires (new 2017)- Norton Lockheed front disc brake, rear drum- Folding Bar End Mirrors The bike has been under current ownership since 2003. It is currently registered in Rhode Island but has a clean Massachusetts title. Recent service includes relining the steel fuel tank and new tires fitted. The bike has been maintained in running condition since owned but has developed a patina over the years. It is undergoing a carb service, new battery, fluids change, and complete check over in preparation of the sale. You will see surface rust on most of the chrome and polished metals but most of these will polish out. Very few miles have been put on it in the past 10 years. I have two young kids now and would like to see the bike go to a good home and receive the proper attention and maintenance that it deserves. It is the perfect bike for someone looking to own a complete, correct and in good mechanical condition Norton Commando in running order that could be enjoyed this summer with some minor TLC and then do a winter project or a rolling restoration. For those not knowing where to look for specialized, knowledgeable, and passionate mechanics or where to find parts in the New England area I can highly recommend Jack Manning and his team at The Classic Bike Experience in Essex, VT. They are among a select few individuals that focus solely on British motorcycles and Norton's in particular and even have a Guild program where you can connect with like-minded Norton enthusiasts and learn to work on your own bike under their instruction and I would be happy to connect anyone looking for a place to start. Other areas to research in this area would be the Northern New England Norton Owners (NENO) group or accessnorton.com.
