1949 Norton ES2
A 1949 Norton ES2 finished in chrome and black with a 490cc OHV single and four-speed transmission—a classic British single that's been actively campaigned in SoCal AMCA road runs and rallies since 2010. Garden-gate frame aesthetics and proven reliability make this a proper vintage ride that doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't.

No Reserve: 1974 Norton Commando 850 Roadster
The 1974 Norton Commando 850 is a legendarily cantankerous British parallel-twin that refuses to stay dead—this one's got that correct right-side shift and honest air-cooled grunt that modern riders either worship or flee from.

1951 Vincent Comet
A brass Amal carb, a Girdraulic fork, and a 499cc British single—this 1951 Vincent Comet rewards a closer look. An Amelia Island blue-ribbon winner in 1998, it received extensive gearbox, electrical, brake, and suspension work at Big D Cycle in 2024. The black-and-gold paint and polished fenders draw you in, but the mechanical details will keep you standing there. Twenty-eight horsepower has rarely looked this good.

If you want to own the actual hardware that proved a 675 triple could hang with 600cc supersports at the highest level, this is the bike.
