- NORTON Commando 850 with Rob North frame
This bike was originally built in 1974. Lot's of these bikes have been built at the time with a 3-cilinder Triumph engine. There are not that much bikes which have a Norton engine. Many of these bikes have been used for racing.
My father found this bike in a town nearby. It's owner has passed away 15 years ago. After his passing, this bike has been stored in a shed at his parents and has not been used since.
In 2014 my father became the proud owner. I took him half a year to get it running again and to patch it up. It has been running flaweless eversince!
What an exceptional machine. I would never have thought of marrying up Norton mechanical parts with a famous RN frame. But why not?! It really does you and your father proud.
Nice job much better than the new ones
A bike to die for.
Lovely. What a great project.
Lovely built bike quality work well done that man, from Northern Ireland greatly appreciated ☘️☘️☘️👍👍👍mag wheels be my preferred choice for the wheels 😁😁😁
Spoilt by stupid music.. beautiful machine.. makes me proud to be a brit.. no one could build machines like we did
Extrem good looking Bike!!! Wish you a Lot fun with it.
wonderful superbike
Very nice!
Lovely jubbly!
Wonderful
Quality!
When I think 'Cafe Racer' this is what I envisage, not some of the factory built, or Americanised examples. Cafe' Racers are built by ''Blokes in Sheds''..originally by Brits......there is no denying this is a fine example.
Handsome machine and far better than the flexible, weak stock Commando frames.! Perhaps I should do that with my Miles frame instead of hassling with my Trident engine. Your father did a fine job.
Cut the music!!!!
Do they still make these rolling frames?
Hi Gerald what an interesting machine. Does it have the Isolastic System in place in the Rob North frame? What a privilege to own such a bike. I am a Norton nut too. I have a 1972 750 Commando that in France. Click on my avatar if you would like to see what she is like. Cheers Nick
You know when a Brit biker is devoted to his Norton Triumph etc when they turn off the fuel tap at every stop! So many bikes out there getting around with diluted engine oil after the old Amal carb float valve didn't seal properly.
Every cycle with a manual fuel valve should have it turned off when not running. Trust no needle and seat! :)
SOP back in the day.
Hallo aus Deutschland. Was für ein tolles Motorrad. Ein absoluter Traum!
Wäre es möglich mir einige Bilder davon zu mailen?
