Thread: Want a brand new 1975 Norton?

Nice machines, I would like to have a The Vincent Black Shadow but they can cost over $ 60000 for one in original condition

lots of money I should imagine.

Nice.

I had a CD250 Honda once which was modelled after the looks of that bike. Very nice clean look.

Genuine Shadows are very few and far between and an A+ (fresh authentic restoration) example will fetch more than $60,000. Most Vinnies offered as Black Shadows are Rapides tarted up into the more valuable version.

If offered in Oz at a fair dinkum auction to genuine historic motor cycle enthusuasts, I doubt if the Nortons would fetch $20,000. A good restored one fetches $7,000-$8,000.

Motor-cycle restoration has reached the stupid point of being able to assemble a desirable make/model of bike entirely from reproduction parts. Norton Manx are a classic example. I am not sure if Vincent v-twins have reached this point, but entire new engines are being made.

Yes but NEW old stock and restored are a different thing.

I reckon they;d sell for more than that !

lets start a book, I bags $25k +/- 500

Are they gonna sell them individually or as a jab lot ?


If individually, but at the same auction then.... $27,500 (+/- 500) each - average sale price

If individually, and at seoarate auctions (eg different countries) then.... $31,500 (+/- 500) each - average sale price

If a job lot... $240,000 ish

oh god!!
