BUT, some ex Norton race bikes.

... and ....

NEW, old stock, Nortons <<--- These will attract some SERIOUS bids from UK enthusiasts. Mate restores Commandos and makes a healthy imcome :)

That's a pretty sweet find. Classic British bikes are mad sexy. Think you can let us know what kind of money they end up going for?

Wow. A brand-new Norton Commando still in-box? :eek: If that were to land on my doorstep, I'd be torn as to open, build, and ride it or keep it new in-box! :D

Matra do you have any idea how much will the Commando go for?

I recently saw a vid on hell for leather of an RC30 and NR750 being opened fresh form boxes from 20 years ago to be displayed in a dealership. I wonder how much those would be worth.

Not a clue on the value of a N.O.S Commando.
Me and a few mates are wondering just that. One is thinking of going, but he hasn't asked his wife yet, so we dont' see him getting ANOTHER bike to his collection ( about 30 now )

If it was the Honda factory museum ones , then ... in their words "priceless" :)
We saw the collection on the IoM 5 years ago at big Honda event.
Most bikes ever taken out of the Tokyo storage.
AND they ran the engines ... glorious, but as they know the engines only have a few hours left of running at 26,000 revs then they were limited to revving them to 22,000 :)
