1971 Dunstall Norton 810

The 810 is a versatile machine that is equally at home in town, on the highway or on a track. Its about town performance is staggering, with under 12 seconds standing quarter acceleration that will drag you clear away from other cycles. Choice of gearing is important. For good all round performance the 4.38 is best, giving 125 mph maximum with 11.9 quarter. The acceleration can be improved still further by specifying the 4.56 or the 4.84, but this will limit the top speed accordingly.
