Key Details

About This Bike

This matching-numbers 1971 Norton Commando 750 Roadster was manufactured in December 1971 and imported from the USA by Angloclassics in 2020. It became a regular-use bike for several years and was developed into a practical, reliable rider rather than restored back to standard specification.

The bike used a single Mikuni carburettor and included a number of sensible Commando upgrades, including an oil-pressure gauge, ignition-interlocked anti-wet-sump valve, Podtronics regulator/rectifier, Boyer electronic ignition and an Andover Norton front brake stiffening kit.

It was regularly serviced and proved to be an easy-starting, dependable bike over the time it was used by Angloclassics.
