The cover story in the Sep./Oct. edition of Motorcycle Classics is a brand new, road legal, 5 speed Manx Norton. Made by Steve Tonkin. The article states that the engine is a brand new 1961 replica Manx engine built by Andy Molnar from original tooling with a modified crank to carry a Lucas alternator. It uses a 5 speed Norton AMC gear box and has what looks like a Norton Commando primary drive case but it is actually a custom casting that adds two inches to the over all length. It has kick start and a compression release. Total price $54,000 dollars. The engine alone was $16,000. So there ya go. All it takes is money and you can have one.
