He has a timed standing quarter mile of 12.3 seconds with 99mph at the post using the bike in the under 750cc class. Obviously the gearing has been altered so she is fit for the road, but I have the necessaries to turn her back into a sprinter if I want (which I don’t). She is very quick in any event, with polished cams, twin carb conversion, racing clutch and gear internals, racing twistgrip, beefed up headstock, much improved brakes amongst other improvements. Since purchase I have gone back to magneto ignition and replaced the carbs and Siamese pipes.

Bike Details: This machine was re-imported from the USA and first registered in the UK in 1985. Purchased by the present owner in 2006 as a poor example of a cafe racer. The most difficult modification was removing the tinware primary chain casings and replacing them with a set of early Commando alloy casings. The timing side and oil delivery was a challenge as the top-end cylinder head totally filled with oil after a few miles. A 650cc downdraft head with twin-carbs and a set of swept-back pipes with big-bore silencers have been fitted, together with an aluminium slimline petrol tank and a custom-made oil tank.The rest is down to hours of polishing, to produce a sixties Cafe Racer.The bike is used - ridden up mountains in Italy, thrashed over the mountain in the Isle of Man and completed parade laps at Brands Hatch and Donington.

1961 Norton Dominator 60094 1960-69 Competition / Special

Bike Details: This Norton Dominator has the 600cc engine, with Slimline Featherbed frame.Purchased in 2002 from the second owner, who was moving to France. He had spent a lot of money on new pistons as it kept seizing up, but when my mechanic Mick took the engine apart he found the oil-pump was not pumping so a few hard-earned quid later we now have a new oil pump.
