750 cc combat if you want a muscle bike. It was coined the first super bike.
But w/ that said you did not mention if you want a bike already done or were thinking about getting dirty.
With any old brit ride your not on the bike your in the bike. You gotta know how to wrench em.
If you are looking for the cool factor with rideabilty you could go 1973 750 or 1974 850.
Both best of their class.
As for the combat which I ride it needs to be sorted and then it can be enjoyed.
Once the initial factory oops are corrected it is a dynamite ride like Hobot expressed.
0-60 before you can strike a match. Hows that for super bike stuff?
Try to get a rider and enjoy as you improve.
If you get a project it may never get beyond that.
Best of luck and let us all know how you made out.
Ebay ok if you can go and see locally.
Do not buy sight unseen.
Local Norton Clubs sometimes have some for sale as members often own more than one.
