John Player Norton Commando
part 2
The John Player Norton was a race bike that competed in the TT races in the Isle of Man with sponsorship by the tobacco company John Player.
I feel a certain connection with this bike as my Dad probably smoked enough Players untipped to keep the race team going single handedly.
If you just happen to have a plain old Commando hanging around and fancy building a café racer / race replica, you could always try this company:-

Whilst it looks quite cool I think the classic looks of an original Roadster (in red!) are too good to cover up
