Re: [ST] Norton for sale on ebay



If it really has only 79 miles on it, who ever buys it would have to be 
purchasing it with the intent of keeping it that way. So whether it 
actually runs is probably pointless. It would be foolish to pay the 
premium this bike may command (pun intended) only to ruin your 
investment by riding it.

I'd rather buy a runner, than a museum piece to stick in my living room 
though.
