Colorado Norton Works is now offering pre-owned cNw machines. Considering I have well over 130 machines delivered since cNw was established in 1997, inevitably there will be some surfacing on the secondary market. Rather than having my customers having to go through the selling process I decided to offer this as a service. This will also make the buying process more streamlined and a buyer can feel confident in that the bikes are accurately represented.
The listing will be updated as inventory changes due to sales and other bikes becoming available
Important notes:
- These bikes are in used condition and sold as such
- The equipment on these bikes may differ from what you can expect from a current cNw rebuild
- The overall finish, paint quality and performance may be different than from what you can expect from a current cNw rebuild
- We will go through these bikes before delivery to ensure that they are in good operating order
- We can in some cases do certain current upgrades on these bikes before delivery. Check with me to make sure what you are wanting can be done
- The bikes are being sold by the owner and the actual sales transaction will ultimately be between them and the buyer
- These bikes will all be located at the cNw shop in Dolores, Colorado (few exceptions based on logistics)
- The bikes will be sold ‘As Is’ with no warranty. However, you will of course get the support that any customer gets when doing business with cNw
- Please contact us for more detailed descriptions and with any questions at all
- Not all bikes will be available for immediate delivery since we may be doing some work to them before they become available
- The bikes will be rated from 1-5 where a 1 is as it left cNw when first completed (2+ is really the highest mark on a pre-owned machine)

- Brief description: A recent build of the now highly sought after cNw Ltd Edition Cafe. There are only 13 of these bikes made. Extreme build all the way down to the frame using a custom made oil in frame design. Unique oval tube swing arm. Frame and swing arm created by legend Jeff Cole of C&J fame. Big custom designed front end using dual 320mm Brembo calipers with 4 pad calipers and a radial master cylinder. Matching radial controls the silky smooth hydraulic clutch. A rear disc to finish of the brakes that will slow this bike down like nothing you ever experienced on a Norton. A highly tuned stage 3 engine with Forged JE pistons, Total Seal rings, a 312a Web cam, Radiused lifters, a high performance Fullauto head, Dual Keihin 35mm pumper carburetors, Primary belt drive, Electronic Autometer gauges, LED turn signals. 17″ rear wheel and an 18″ front. Everywhere you look this machine has unique and extremely high quality components. The alloy bodywork is made by Evan Wilcox. The build and finish quality from cNw is as good as it gets and after 25 years of creating these upgraded Commandos I wanted to see how far I could take these builds and that is how the Ltd Cafe’s concept was spawned. This is one of only 3 Ltd Cafe’ with an e-start. In mid summer of 2017 the C07 machine was brought back to the shop and a cNw electric start conversion was installed. I re-designed the frame trays under the fuel tank and there are two batteries there to ensure trouble free starting. This machine is essentially new and not even broken in yet.

Few highlights would be the dual disc Cafe’ front end with Brembo 320mm rotors, 4 pad calipers and radial master cylinder. Matching radial master for the hydraulic clutch. This front end uses exclusive cNw Cafe’ triple trees that are matched to the 39mm fork tubes with Showa fork lowers.

Electronic Autometer gauges with a Livorsi voltmeter and warning lights housed in a cNw center console.

- Color: Black with Gold logos and stripes
- Miles since rebuild: 1150
- Condition: 2+
- Available: Early March 2023
- Brief description: This late model cNw is a stunning bike. With the large and rare Interstate tank and traditional Black and Gold paint work, it just really makes a statement. Picky collector owned and very low miles. Barely broken in and ready to go. Since it’s a 1975 Mk3, you get an e-start system (cNw upgraded of course), left side shift and a front and rear disc set up. The cNw Brembo’s offer the best brake performance in the business. The custom made Corbin seat gives the bike a very aggressive and sporty look. Shouldered Excel show polished rims add to the vintage look and feel. The bike has optional Electronic instruments by Smiths and the front end has the Landsdowne adjustable internal fork assemblies that greatly improve compression and rebound. Small but bright cNw LED turn signals was another option used on the build. Dual, Chrome, Bar end mirrors. Single Mikuni carburetor for great performance and extremely user friendly operation.
The tank had some paint imperfections and was taken down to bare metal and re-painted spring, 2023. The header pipes do show some discoloration - Images: Current

- Miles since rebuild: 1,695
- Condition: 2
- Available: Immediately
- Brief description: Bring back the 1970’s…..This bike will definitely take you back to those days. An awesome looking bike and the color really pops. Heavy blue metallic just like what Norton offered back in the day. That said, the Norton paint jobs were not great but this ‘House of Color’ special blend is perfect. Used a black base to tone it down just a bit but when out in the sun, it comes alive. The bike is in overall great shape, virtually as new. The owner actually kept it inside his house. Not loaded with options but it has electronic Smiths instruments and a 1″ lowering kit. In 2018 a cNw electric start kit was installed. Makes it extremely friendly to use. With all the standard equipment used on a cNw build, like the Brembo front brake, the hydraulic clutch, the user friendly controls, upgraded suspension, powerful engine and smooth shifting gear box and with the finish and detail that cNw has become known for, this machine is sure to bring a lot of smiles to both those lucky enough to ride it and those just getting a look. This bike was located in Florida and does have some pitting on the chrome head light shell and sever pitting on the chrome front disc carrier (see pics below). The front disc carrier can be replaced but it would be with a black one as chrome is no longer available. Headlight bucket could also be replaced and would take some time due to essentially needing a complete disconnect and then re-connect of all headlight wiring. If you like the bike but not the color, a fresh set of body panels could be painted and installed. Contact me for pricing if interested.

- Brief description: This is a cNw build that has had more on line exposure than any other. The owner made a You Tube video when he first got it and it has been viewed 300K to date (search You Tube for ‘cNw Norton Commando’ and you will find it there). Options as delivered includes, cNw electronic instruments (Autometer), cNw Dual Keihin carburetor kit, Black primary and a Fullauto performance head.It has some miles on it and has had a very active life. Initially it was set up with a 1″ cNw lowering kit but the owners decided to have me raise it up to stock height, feeling he would get some more performance out of it. The bike spent its time on the west coat, close to the beach. Due to this, there is a fair amount of oxidation and some chrome and stainless has been compromised as far as finish. Functionality is still 100%. The bike was involved in a minor accident requiring some body parts to be replaced, including the speedo that now shows 7,488 miles (old speedo had 2,979 on it when it was replaced). The work was all done at cNw to ensure it was brought back to spec. In August of 21 the bike was brought back to the shop so that a cNw e-start could be installed. This in an upgraded black paint finish. Rather than spending the time and money to replace and refinish all of the part affected by the coastal climate, we are pricing the bike accordingly to allow the new owner to decide how much of that should be done. The bike runs very strong and is a pleasure to ride. Note: The pictures were taken right after I rinsed it off. What you see under bike are not oil drips….just water.

- Miles since rebuild: 510

- Available: Late May, early June 2019. I just have to look the bike over and make sure its ready to go
- Brief description: This bike is essentially new. Engine is not even broken in yet. The color scheme is stunning. The silver insets with the red stripes just sets it off. Most of the late model up grades on this machine. No options but of course, every nut and bolt was considered when building the bike. The engine is a Combat that in itself had some issues as it was designed at the factory. All those short comings were changed when it was re-built here at cNw, so it’s a very strong engine and not fragile like the originals. The condition is really nice and just shows very little wear as you would expect from having been around for 7 1/2 years.

- Brief description: Beautiful bike that has been very well taken care of. Barley even broken in and ready for a new owner to enjoy. The bike looks like basic black until you get close and notice the subtle ghost flames at the leading edge of the tank, front fender and side covers. Not only is this bike a stunner, it has some really great options as well. cNw electronic instrument package, cNw 1″ lowering kit, cNw rear sets, cne Dual Keihin carb kit bolted to a Fullauto performance head. The options alone were 7K when the bike was build. With all of the outstanding standard equipment parts used for the build, this makes this a machine that will perform as good as it looks. Note#1: The turn signal stems are a bit ‘saggy’. These are no longer available so I can not replace with the same but can certainly do a different style or remove altogether. Note #2: The bike is currently registered in Canada and the title works has to be re issued in the US. This will not be a problem considering the bike came from the US initially but may take a little time to process once sold.

- Brief description: The first owner put very few miles on this machine and the second owner bought it about 2 years ago (with 1350 miles on it). Since the 2nd owner got the machine, it came back to cNw in the summer of 2016 for a major upgrade. Installed were: cNw electric start system with a billet outer cover, Dual Keihin carb kit, Electronic instrument kit (Smiths), Fullauto head, cNw billet triple trees, cNw billet headlight ears, cNw billet console, Comstock headsteady, cNw hydraulic clutch, High output alternator, LED tail light, Lithium battery and more. It also had fresh tires and tubes installed at that time. So while it’s an older build, it has had a large portion of late-model parts installed plus many of those being optional (on a current build). This is truly a great value
- Note: This machine is located in British Columbia, Canada. Since the bike was originally built for a customer in the US, it will be straight forward to re-register the bike in the US again. The machine will not be brought back to cNw before the sale. Since it was updated last summer, I have seen the bike recently enough to know that the condition is as stated and I know the seller to have taken care of this bike with the greatest care
- Update: This machine just got 1st place in it’s class at the Norton Nationals in Washington, July 2018

There is a paint chip in the front of the tank, the leather on the Corbin seat has lifted a bit on the back side and also some finish damage on rear of the frame loop. See images.

- Brief description: This bike is essentially as delivered in 2008 with extremely few miles, well short of fully broken in. Kept in a private collection with many bikes and cars. Options includes Chrome cNw front fender (stainless original version on the rear) and LED taillight conversion. Of course, many items were standard when built like the cNw Brembo brake, front and rear, 4 Brush starter motor, Alloy rims (SUN brand) with stainless steel spokes and nipples and much more. The bike is extremely nice and very well taken care of. Paint looks prefect, no oxidation on alloy and chrome. Corbin seat is as new. Like a time capsule of an older cNw build. This bike can be enjoyed right away but needs to still go through the break in phase (up to 1K miles). Some later cNw upgrades that are beneficial to the operation of the Mk3 can of course be installed as well if the new owner chooses too. As pictured in the last image below, there is a tear in the fork boot on the right side leg.

- Miles since rebuild: 1562
- Condition: 3
- Available: Immediately
- Brief description: This is an earlier model but has pretty low miles and condition is average considering its age. Two years ago the current owner added the new cNw e-start (2,695.00) to the bike for easy, push button start. The kick start is still fully functional. At the time it was built in 2005/06, the only option on the bike was a Stage 2 Engine kit that uses a ported and flowed head, dual Keihin carburetors and a Web 12a cam. Strong running machine. There are 2 options for paint work that comes with the bike. Neither one was painted by cNw. The original paint work from 2006 is no longer on the bike or available. One of the current paint jobs is a custom, 2 tone green (BRG)/silver with airbrushed logos. The tank also has an airbrushed model (She is naked, so there is that). Painted fenders, green with silvers stripes. The 2nd paint option is a original style Black/Gold in condition 3-4 (1 being new/perfect). This would be installed with new stainless front and rear fenders. At additional cost, both body sets could be included with the bike. Of course, if you wanted a fresh cNw paint job, we could talk about that options as well. During its life some other things were added to the bike not installed at cNw. This includes dual rear view mirrors, rear sets (Dunstall style), after market seat (no brand, steel pan) and after market shocks (YSS brand). I can not tell you about the quality, functionality or performance of these installed parts as I have not used them in the past on any builds

The color combo is unique using a Ducati Gold frame with Red body panels. Paint is in good condition except for a small chip at the taillight fairing and a small chip on the tail of the front fender.

That would have included chrome rear shocks but the black ones were supplied by customer for the build. Also supplied were all the body panels and they were painted already. In other words, this is not a cNw paint job. It’s a British Racing Green color, so no metallic effects in it. The last image is a better representation of the actual color as the first two are a bit dark. The fuel tank is steel and the side covers and front fender are fiber glass. Tires have good tread but are older. The polish have lost some luster but bike was Idaho and then Colorado so not corrosion or surface rust anywhere. Some nicks and dings as to be expected on an 18 year old build. Wear spots on the Corbin seat but nothing through the fabric. Header pipes are discolored and some cover or fabric may have been in contact with the right side when hot as there is a bit of an imprint. The mufflers are still high luster and no dings or scratches. Handlebars and Skyking bar end mirrors were installed in 2021. Will need some TLC but overall a pretty well kept bike ready for a new owner.

- Brief description: Yes….this is it. The original cNw Cafe’ built back in 2004. The bike is a mile stone in the cNw evolution and has been featured in dozens of magazines world-wide. The bike was built both considering performance and design. Its suspension, rear sets and seat is intended for a person 5’7″ – 5’8″, around 160 lbs and may feel cramped when used by someone a lot taller. This is the machine that later on influenced the 13 Ltd Edition Cafe’s to be built

- Brief description: I built this machine for myself in early 2000. It wasn’t really my intention to offer it up for sale but after a few years, someone approached me about wanting to buy the bike and I did in fact sell it. When I built it, I wasn’t to concerned about certain equipment as I wanted a bare bones, stripped down bike. So the bike doesn’t have turn signals. It has no instruments and uses toggle switches instead of a key switch. It is lowered about 2″, so it fit a 5’5″-5’7″ (150-160 lbs) person perfectly. Much more than that and the suspension wont support it. It has a custom Corbin seat that was fitted to the frame by laying fiber glass directly on the frame rails and then pouring the resin over that. In other words, the seat fits really snug and is as low as it goes. Not a lot of padding but it is a gel foam so it does offer some support. The alloy triple trees were chromed. This was built back when Buchanan’s offered their rims chromed as well so it does have chrome SUN rims (19″/18″ combo). It uses a unique steel front fender. The mono tone paint work is bright orange but the powder coated frame has faded differently than the bodywork over time so it doesn’t have the same hue when you see it in person. It was built with a performance cam and a built head and runs very strong. Over the years it has been upgraded and now has the dual Keihin carburetor kit which is a great match for the built head. It also got the hydraulic clutch conversion installed a few years back. The bike is a ton of fun to ride and turns a lot of heads. Comfortable for a longer ride its not but it was never intended for that type of riding. If you are looking for a unique one off custom Commando, this machine definitely fits into that category

- Displacement: 850 cc
- Color: Black frame. Black and Blue (Viper GTS blue) two tone bodywork
- Miles since rebuild: 3100
- Condition: 3
- Available: Immediately
- Brief description: Finished in a tow tone Black and GTS Viper Blue, this is a sharp looking machine. Owner has had a serious collection of bikes over the years and while they were all ridden at times, it never racked up the miles. That said, it was always very well taken care of and its is a strong #3 condition. These early bikes did have different equipment when built and this machine came back a few times to the shop for upgrades. Upgrades since built includes a late model electronic ignition, high output alternator, a primary belt drive, and a hydraulic clutch. It has a brand new Shorai Lithium battery that has not even been installed yet. Bike was also lower a few years back to suit a shorter rider. It has a 1.5″ lowering kit. It can be raised back up to full ride height with a new front and and shocks. The cost to do that suspension change is about 1,600.00 for parts and labor.

- Brief description: One of the 1st customer ordered cNw bikes and built for a woman 5’2″. She maintained and serviced this diligently and it looks extremely fresh considering the age and miles. Nicer than most bikes that are just a few years old. This is an e-start Mk3 at the core but using a drum brake rear wheel. It is still a left side shift. 19″ front wheel and a 17″ rear wheel. The bike was lowered 2.5″ so it needs someone short and light weight in order to be used as is. The suspension can be changed to std ride height and you can contact me if you want to know what’s involved. It has got some nice upgrades since it was built. The cNw Brembo brake system was installed several years ago as well as recently changed over to the cNw hydraulic clutch in 2018. The rear sprocket/front sprocket and chain was replaced with new parts (cNw x-ring conversion) late 2018. Clutch pack in late 2018, Tri Spark ignition plus cNw single coil in 2017 and LED taillight board in 2014. It has fresh tires and tubes
