John Player Norton rare factory custom (1 of 200)

[grandpaul]

On e-bay.

Not perfect, but mighty close.

It is an ORIGINAL JPN, NOT A REPLICA OR COPY!

1 of only 200 built, and perhaps the most extensively documented research and restoration of ANY JPN.

I can't take less than the starting bid, sorry.

If you want it, contact me immediately.

NOOOOO!!! WHY ARE YOU SELLING IT!?

 

[grandpaul]

That was the plan from day 1.

I can't afford to keep it. I'd have to sell 4 of my other bikes, and I'm not ready to do that, especially as rare as it is, and I'd hardly ride it.

It's a collector bike, but out of my league. I have the original New Norton monoshock prototype that cost me more than enough to keep me happy as far as rare Nortons go.

Fair enough

Was this at the Brooklyn invitational last year?

WAY different bike. That's the monocoque racer that the JPN factory special was honoring.

Yeah sorry haven't looked at that photo since I took it a year ago, just vaguely remember seeing a John player

That sucker is worth 2 or 3 times as much as mine.
