In 1970, my first Norton was a red '69 Commando 'S', that color looks so close, what a joy that bike was back in that day. Frankly it was the fastest thing on the road and the first stock motorcycle to do the quarter mile in the 12s in the motorcycle magazine road tests, of course things changed rapidly during those great '70s...Very nice bike.
Hello Mr Hughes my name Stephen Pugh I'm the new owner of the bike it's exactly the same has seen in the video the only problem it has is Clutch in the starter motor warning gauge do you have any advice please
Get yourself a good manual, read it, then decide if it’s something you can do. If it’s beyond your capabilities then take it to someone who can repair it
Essentially perfect... Give it to love. You treat her good she'll treat you better! Hugh Adams the man, the myth, the legend you are. You can adore that bike because nothing... No Harley, no BMW, no Triumph Thruxton... Not sure about in Norton... You got it over all of all the others for what it is, pure and delicious motorcycle experience. Find a Countrysides! Get it tuned the way you love it and a little jar of silver paint!
Oil in frame of necessity raised the saddle height which many didn't like. I didn't, or when the shifter was placed on the left side of the bike. Still love Triumphs, have a T-100 today. Must be something wrong with it though,,, it hasn't leaked a drop of oil!
OH MY Isn't she a beauty! Not so sure about the red side panel and oil tank but beautiful non the less. and that exhaust note! right out of my youth!!!!
