And did not meet reserve of 240000

Seen quite a few Nortons but no Commando's yet.
Nortons, when they're right, they're righteous!
72 Commando Combat Roadster
Frame 149xxx,
Crankcase 210XXX
Gearbox 235xxx
and they all "match" up perfectly.

1912 Hendersons are rather rare.
And that one is probably the best in the world ?

Anyone see what this Commando went for ?

A few weeks ago a friend of mine bought a real nice 1926 henderson 4 for $26,000. The only real issue was the motor wasn't detailed. Everything else was brand new......

1912 Hendersons were the first year made - later Hendersons were being mass produced.

Try buying a first year HD.
Serious collector territory there.
Funny really, later bikes are always soo much better when you think about it.
