Project 11 is a fabulous looker and this unit does not disappoint. This one is an exceptional example. Respect for the rebuilders and a little envy directed towards the owner. Very nice.....
I have had this happen in my shop many times. The worst are those with a shiny paint job sold to an unsuspecting buyer for a rather high price. Well done on this one.
Beautiful, and rare. I worked at a Norton dealership in Los Angeles (Jack Baldwin's) when the P-11s were being superseded by the Commandos. My job was to pick up the crated bikes from the docks, wipe away the cosmoline and assemble them. Always wanted a P-11 though.....
I have never heard or seen one of these P11 s before was it a factory product?. What a good looking bike, the frame looks like a BSA unit. After seeing this, why oh why did the British motor cycle industry die on its feet?
As a life long bike owner, it offends me to see soo many riders stamping on the gear pedal to engage first gear. I have never done it and see no reason for it.
Each gearbox is to be treated with respect and caution. Easing first gear in without stamping or graunching should be the aim. Maybe I am old fashioned, but I don't care.
Wow those top triple clamps are a dead ringer for the triple clamps on my 49 matchless G80 , the Teledraulic , I hope they have something better inside than cone and shuttle dampening , are these the roadholder that norton copied AMC , I hope they have the damper tube/rod assembly. Cheers
Nice machine. However, this example is an early model (1967) and not a 'Ranger'. These were to be called 'Cheetah', but the name never really stuck and are usually simply referred to as 'P11'. The next version was called the P11A (1968) and later some were called P11A Ranger. The final version, which were nearly all titled as 1969 models (although built in late 1968) were called simply 'Ranger 750'. There are significant identifying differences in these three versions.
Piece of art, from the time that motorcycle were motorcycles, with a kickstarter and feeling from the rider.

thank you, a lot of hard work but the final result is totally worth it
I have 69 and love this bike . she now is in cafe trim & is a great street fighter😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Awesome, would love to see it
These British bikes from the 60s are really a reflection of the 30s
Fantastic machines the BSA Firebird Scrambler of about the same year fantastic

Sounds like a great gig
In my umble opinion, The Norton P11 Ranger is one of the most desirable motorcycles I've ever seen.
they are something different and lovely to look at

@@davidclegg3554 I've seen and sat on one that was in ridable condition. I think they were made for the US market as a desert sled-type bike.
Nice looking bike.
Lovely job
thank you, it took a lot of work
Nice bike and one for the lounge at home during the winter months . 🤔

How do you put the first gear? In time?

Well I'm not sure why, but he stamped on the footpeg, NOT the gear lever!!! Then at 3:52 he LIFTED the gear lever to put it into gear.........
@@frankibabi1agreed but this gb is 1 up, 3 down.
He’s a stamper
Never seen this model before! So damn nice!!!
More popular now then then . Internet brought info to millions that didn't know it existed .
We agree
. . . apart from that it was in good nick!!!! What a fantastic job you've done. A beautiful beast of a machine.
Tis but a scratch
My buddy had one in the '80s, but we were riding Commandos and the P-11 was just for kicks.
They are lovely and great fun, this one probably had too much fun

it will be a good bike when you get it running right
Yep. It still could use a little timing/jetting solution. Almost there.
All sorted before going back to it's owner
left side looks way lean
What a beautiful old British bike
It truly is, and safe now too
Looks and sounds amazing.
thank you, it certainly took some doing

Beautiful bike
It really is now it's back to safe and running
So the P11 got a $5000 turneup!
It's quite beautiful
It really is now it's up and running again, and safe
Looks good.
thank you so much
How much money did the guy spend fixing it up?
3 4 times what bike cost now , 10 times what it was new !
Looks like a leg scorcher off road.
Who counts
the wife usually ...............
LOL
@@raymondo162Ha. We're not alone.
Of course there is more work in the future to come it's in Norton.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Imagine using a nice bike like this for OFF ROAD!! It has been mistreated by punks that should only be allowed to use bicycles!! 😣😣
🤯
Looks like brakes suck.
Disc brakes were still half a decade down the road
