This is the link to the online auction site for the Nortons and a pile of other interesting stuff. Bidding opens tomorrow (19th) Title: Re: 11 New 1975 Nortons found in Belgium Post by: LA on April 16, 2010, 03:03:22 PM I own a 75 MKIII Norton. They are wonderful bikes. Wonderful!
They handle VERY well and are MUCH faster than one would think 55 or 60 HP would go. Not only do I wonder what they will "go" for, I wonder what I'd be willing to give for one.
