VBNR Norton 750 vintage racing motorcycle

Description

This vintage Norton racebike was built by VBNR (Village Bike Norton Racing) in Australia and imported by Giannini Racing into the USA a few years ago to race in the AHRMA top class – 750GP. Prior to that it was a top contender at Phillip Island in Australia.

The motorcycle has been built to the absolute limits to be technically legal in 750GP. It has an un-altered genuine Norton Manx featherbed frame Roadholder forks and Girling shocks. It has period correct wheels and brakes – proper front brake caliper and proper 5 fin Norton Manx rear brake.

The engine is a Commando-based 750cc full race engine – fully prepared and blueprinted. The engine starts with custom billet cranckcases and includes a custom billet crankshaft Cosworth connecting rods high lift cam titanium valves and valve retainers very heavy duty valve springs and hi-compression pistons. The cylinder head is a work of art! It has proper Concentric carburetors w/enormous float bowls (in Australia it ran on alcohol – it has been re-jetted since coming to America to run on race gas.) It had a special 5-speed gearbox Norge belt drive and uses a Boyer ignition.

This is a very rare motorcycle and could be raced or collected as a beautiful piece of history. I have more photos available upon request. This motorcycle is being sold “as-is” with no warranties. Despite eBay requiring a “title” category this vehicle has no title. Shipping can be arranged at the buyer’s expense. A $1000 deposit must be made within 48 hours of the close of the auction or the motorcycle will be re-listed.
