Summary:
Used 1974
Location:
Aspen Hill, MD
Description:
Take that tax return and put it into something thats only going up in value, like this genuine 1974 John Player Norton 850! This is one of the ~200 factory-built street bikes (120 of which came to the US) meant to evoke the aesthetics, if not the performance, of the factory works race bikes. The one before you is the real deal; every unique JPN bit (and there are a ton of unique bits beyond just the obvious bodywork and black chrome annular discharge silencers) is present, including the factory-modified, steel Roadster fuel tank. Underneath the race-inspired bodywork of all JPN's is a European-spec Mk2a 850 Commando, which is itself widely regarded as the best all-around Commando to own. The Player Norton offers a unique riding experience among Commandos: they are long-legged and take advantage of the aerodynamic fairing, plus with their twin headlamps they look like nothing else from the era. JPNs also have a high speed smoothness, quietness uncommon even to regular Commandos, again thanks to that large fairing and partially enclosed bodywork. Jay Leno has owned his JPN for over 30 years and is a huge fan of the model.
