The Rare Norton MM 961 FLAT TRACKER.
Being old school :lol: I like the look of cooling fins on a motorcycle engine.
Only five of theses Norton's were ever built:

Did they actually make five or rob the parts off of the first three to make the last two!!! Not unprecedented under Mr Garner’s stewardship, just saying!!!! :lol:

That bike has a brutal stance! Looks like it would bulldoze through walls :lol:

The petrol tank is my favourite bit, love the colour and the big lettering.

They should scrap the hipster seat though

:lol: According to the write-up it says there were meant to be 12 bikes, so you may be onto something there Kev :shh: :)

I like your way of thinking Al, a good description that 8)

As for the seat, I'm sure if I got my hands on one of these bikes I could fix that :D

If you ever needed a bike to ram-raid on, this'd be it.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
