Any info on the towing capacity? They began neutering this thing around 2016 so I’m curious what they can squeeze out of that I4.

Didn’t see this article sooner. Submitted for approval, the Norton Commando in “Yellow Peril”.

I love this. More bikes in this range please. Bikes like this are a blast to ride on, without adding additional risk of higher HPs.

That’s the best looking Buick I’ve seen since the Regal TourX, which isn’t really a Buick anyway. It’s not great styling, but infinitely better than what they’ve been doing.

So the question is, how long will the ADV wave last? It seems to be moving at a faster trajectory than other style crazes. Wil it burn out as fast and leave us with a glut of them on the market?

That JPN would be a deal as long as there is actual documentation. Get the engine code and check with the original listings from Norton. It will tell you whether it left the factory as a JPN or not. There are TONS of replicas out there. It does look the part but I wouldn’t drop that much on a bike in that state…

Core memories right there. I was about 23 when I got mine. Spent many wonderful hours in the garage with my dad tearing it down to fix problems from sitting too long.

I picked up Snowrunner after watching Andrew Collins play for Jalopnik. It’s a great game to unwind with, but can be frustrating sometimes.

I look forward to your progress and end result. I also have a 1969 CB350 but is primarily unmolested. Had to take the head off at one point but i try not to mess with it too much since it has less than 5k total miles on it.

Ford Taurus SHO. Boring enough to blend in but has the grunt when (and if) needed.

Mine are more motorcycle focused:

Now I get it for track racing, but as I’ve said before, a small displacement at WOT is way more fun than a 200hp bike that barely gets to 1/4 throttle before exceeding the local speed limit. No thanks. Bring on the sub 500cc fun bikes!

I’m right there with you but I’m partial to the Buick Roadmaster version. My dad had one and I learned to drive and dock in that thing.

From what I’ve seen, he keeps his stuff in top working condition so I’m sure all of the safety features were working as best as they could. There’s just a limit to the maximum efficacy of antique technology.

Which bike was it?

Twinsies. I also have a 1969 CB350 (in my image). But my favorite specialty tool would be one of the several for my Norton. Either the clutch lock tool, or the gearbox lockrick assembly tool

They have yet to bring the new CB350 to the US either. This one is a bit surprising, but the fact that Americans consider a 750 as “too small” does give this some understanding.

Austin Healey please. And then complete the garage with a Brough, Bonneville, and Norton.
