1963 Norton Electra 400cc, Excellent Runner, E-start Working, V5C
This is a 1963 Norton Electra 400cc motorcycle, a rare British bike with an electric start feature that is working well. It has been registered in the UK since 2002 and is a historic vehicle, exempt from road tax and MOT. The engine sounds great and the gears and clutch are in good condition. The charging system has a modern solid state regulator/rectifier. The speedometer is working, and the bike handles well with a good front brake, though the rear brake may need some attention. The bike has survived in original, unrestored condition and comes with a V5C registration document. Cosmetically, the bike has some wear and loss of chrome, but is generally in reasonable original condition with some touch ups. The front down tube has been repainted, and both wheels have lost most of their chrome. The tyres are new, and the seat, side and center stands are in good condition.
