Not being a biker, this is my first post on this forum. I confess straight away, I don't know a great deal about bikes. My reason for the post is this; I recently happened to have cause to examine a Norton Monocoque in some detail. Now, although I know little, I appreciate that classic Nortons are worth a bob or two. I was looking at this bike, marvelling at it's incredible construction. Chap told me it was one of only 3 in the world, and probably one of the most collectable bikes there are. Blimey, I thought. "How much is it worth?" I enquire.

Well bikers? Anyone got any clues as to what he told me??

There were more than 3 frames made as a good while ago I tried to buy a F750 and I'm sure it was number twenty odd off the assembly line (bad memory).

Could well have been more than 3 made. Can't remember exactly what he said now. Maybe it was one of 3 in the UK? Anyway, anyone any clues as to the value of one? I'd be curous to know whether he was winding me up as to its value.
