2017 engine paint

[FLYTYM_imp]

For those that questioned the unusual paint on the cylinder and head on the 2017 CB-EX .... in an earlier discussion/thread I mentioned how it first came about on the late 60's Norton Commandos,(and eventually became popular in the late 60's and early 70's with other bikes) MCD just featured some refurbished Nortons which clearly demonstrates this paint scheme

BTW to have a Norton refurbished like this cost $ 34K provided you supply a good donor bike.

How's the $12,100 price of that new CB-EX looking now? lol

Theres a good chance I’ll be restoring a 1970 650 Bonneville here soon and while it will be a complete nut/bolt restoration but there is no way in heck it will cost $34,000.
