Based on a Norton Commando, The engine and transmission have been rebuilt, always a good idea on a 40+ year old classic bike, the tank was pulled off an old Kawasaki and dare I say it, looks better than the stock Commando tank that these bikes came with in ’68 and ’69. That engine is a 750cc twin, capable of 51hp and the transmission is a chain-fed 4 speed. The Norton Commando originally weighed in at ~186kgs (410lbs) but that this modified example weighs a little less than that.
