I have seen prices here in Australia for very good looking ones asking $16,000, but also have seen some unkown condition and untoched go for about $6,500, a friend of mine payed $12,000 for a 71 Commando fully rebuilt 2 years ago, so it all depends on the condition but yes they are pulling top $$$ here.
I must say I've been surprised at the current prices that I seen lately. But I think it's good, better than them going to the scrap yard and a testament to the design !
When a company comes back from the dead and starts production again, it boosts the value of their original product. Triumphs did this and we are seeing Nortons following suit. Maybe people think there will be more parts and customer sevice? Ha Ha. A friend of mine who is a writer for a vintage motorcycle magazine told be that In the "snooty" nose in the air collecters and enthusiests of old classic bikes, Nortons were looked down at. Maybe because of the "rebel" roots? But now the sleek lines and nimble handling has won out. Seems now the rage is to make your Japanese bike or your Harley Sportster look like an old Norton...why not own the real deal? I truly think older Nortons will just keep increasing in value and desirability.
