This is a loud. brash. in your face vintage desert sled. If you're caught behind this bike while racing then you'd be in trouble--if the sound from those open megaphones don't kill you then the roost from that rear tire will. It is beyond trick--beyond 'works' even---it truly is a one-of-a-kind bike and would be impossible to duplicate now. I purchased this bike from the original owner/builder (the son of a famous Hollywood western film star of the 1950's) who had informed me that he had lost count of all the $$ he had invested in this bike. His estimate was 'somewhere around $40. 00 or upwards over the years'. He told me that he had always wanted the ultimate MX/desert bike so in 1970 he contacted Trackmaster Racing Frames (who were famous for their short and long track flat-track frames) and specifically requested that they custom build him a motocross / grand prix desert frame for a Norton 750 motor that would have the longer rake steering angle for high speed tracking & stability. He paid them what was a small fortune at the time and waited forever. as Trackmaster was up to their eyeballs making their legendary flat track frames. The wait was worth it though because what you see here is now a one-of-a-kind / 'only one in the world' frame. Bike started out with conventional Betor short travel suspension and eventually evolved into the bike you see here. He spent ridiculous amounts of $$ on every trick part he could find or have custom built. since his budget was unlimited. This bike was raced---improved upon---and raced again until it evolved into the long travel incarnation you see here. I doubt that there is another bike even remotely like this anywhere in the world and I sincerely doubt that anyone could duplicate this bike today. at any cost.  Most of these parts are one off. and the ones that aren't are surely unobtainable now. Take a close look at those wheels & sprockets. the engine & exhaust. the carb & intake. the footpegs and brake arm. etc.  Over 40 years of time and bucket loads full of money have gone into turning a British heavyweight into this lightweight fighting machine. This is the one and only 750 Norton desert frame that was ever built by Trackmaster. Original nickel plate finish still shines like new. THIS IS A ONE OF A KIND BIKE AND SHOULD GO INTO A TOP LEVEL VMX OR OFF ROAD RACING COLLECTION OR MUSEUM.  In all my years of collecting these bikes I've never run across another one even remotely like it.

AZ. All shipping costs are the responsibility of buyer but I can help arrange shipping for you if needed. Pick up is preferred.

HEY GUYS --I've had several emails asking me what $$ I'll actually take for the bike. I just lowered the buy it now down to $12. 00 and I'm not going to lower it any further. The absolute bare minimum offer I'll even look at from a buyer is $11K. but I'm not going to promise that I'll actually accept something that low. If you're really interested in this bike please make your offers and take your chances. Otherwise. hit the buy-it-now and buy the bike for roughly 1/3 what it cost to build. I can't do any better than this otherwise I'll just keep it in my personal collection. I go out to my shop at least once a week and stare at this thing. and every time I do it just makes me smile. Thanks for your interest.
