This Norvin was bought by the vendor in 1979 and has been an ongoing project ever since, going through a few incarnations in its time to enhance the handling and performance. He now feels he has arrived at the ultimate specification which includes Suzuki GSXR1100 forks with K-Tech internals, Bandit 6-pot callipers, Armstrong wavy disc, Brembo rear calliper and tailor-made Ikon shocks. The engine has Alpha crank bearings, Mk3 camshafts, 8:1 Omega pistons in replacement cylinder liners, heads polished and ported with new valve trains, 32mm Amal Concentric carbs and a multi-plate clutch with an Alton alternator and Pazon Smart Fire ignition. The bike abounds with bespoke handmade fittings including the underbraced swinging arm and the stainless steel rear brake, gear change and footrest hangers. The classic Norvin look is completed by a small nose cone fairing, a Dow short circuit alloy fuel tank, a bespoke seat unit combining the oil tank with a recessed filler, one-off exhaust, Gold anodised hubs and wheel centres. On a recent trip to the IOM TT, it recorded 127.3mph on its electronic speedo and always draws a crowd wherever it goes. Nicknamed the 'Devil’s Ride' it has won awards at many shows and has been featured in Back Street Heroes and Cafe Racer magazine. It will be given a fresh 12 months MOT shortly before the sale and comes supplied with current V5C.
