I have just looked and found x14 Norton Commando 961s for sale on ebay. For such a limited production motorcycle is does seem out of balance........are there any views on this ? They are all low mileage too :!:

Have a look at how many new (ish) Honda, Kawasaki's, Yamaha's etc are for sale and then look at how many classic ones and Im sure the percentage will look a lot better. As since there have been over a thousand bike produced is the twelve/thirteen or fourteen or whatever it is really a concern. Surely it would only be a concern if all or none were for sale. And as for other brands there will always be people who favour one over another so if you want a Triumph and not a Norton do it. Buy one. And stop complaining if you don't have one. Mine has issues and is with the factory. Im sure it will be sorted. Sorry that those in the States etc have had bad experiences with spares and warranty work but seriously phone there factory or email them. You will get a response.

Fast Eddie said:I realise you probably didn't mean it in this way Britfan, but actually, the opinion of those who do not 'buck up' count a lot... in many ways they are the most important people that manufacturers should listen to!
Those who have already bought are already caught... those who aren't interested probably never will be... but those who nearly bought but got away, they're the real loss.
