I also had 2 old Nortons, a 750 and an 850. I am having serious memories here tonight. Aside from the Lucas electrics, which could leave you in a blackout at any time, they were sweet rides!

Great looking bike, light and not too big or fast, smaller than an 883. Quick but not fast, over 80 MPH for any stretch it will be struggling. Nice to be able to ride two-up. Looks like all that could be done to the bike has been done unlike the constant "blingability" of an H-D. Sounds like it would be good for your boys when they come to visit. Is there a place near you to get parts and service? I'd compare the price to a used Sporty and decide.
My second bike is a '66 Norton Atlas. Nice for around town or a little day ride but painful after 200 miles.

I still have my old 750 Combat in the shed and my boy thinks its cool. Maybe when he turns 18 and gets of dirt bikes I will give it to him . I would love a Harley 750 XR for a second bike after my 07 FLHT
