SELLER SAYS: 1975 Norton Commando 850 Mk 3 Roadster for sale. Matching numbers. Presents superbly, good paint, good chrome, fast, handles well, but I prefer my Moto Guzzi’s. Single Mikuni 36mm carb (but comes with old twin Amals too for purists), shorty megaphone mufflers (impressive sound). Circa 50,000km with only 500km since the following work: re-bore, new pistons, rings, valves, painted barrel, filters, speedo cable, RGM front master cylinder 13mm re-sleeve, brake pads, Dunlop tyres at 100% tread, chain, battery – all work except chain and battery done through Wayne Kenman at Queensland Norton Restoration. Bike really only just run in since. New Consentino and NYC Norton (US) front suspension kit (adjustable, over $2k), new YSS shocks (circa $850) adjustable and far superior to standard Hagon (suspension fitted and tuned by Suspension Improvements, Slack’s Creek). I have just changed the oil (Penrite) and spark plugs. Standard Roadster bars, comes with new Semi-Western bars with new cabling to fit. Has centre and side stands. Comes with new Norton tool kit, several spares, manual and parts catalogue. Has original electric start, not working, but starts first kick, hot or cold. Prefer to sell to someone in SE Queensland who can properly ride and inspect. 6 months rego. Contact Craig on 0408 158 879 (The Gap, Queensland)
