1974 John Player Norton Endurance Replica - Backroad Smoker!

Cover: In the 1970's, the financially strapped Norton company went outside for the money to go racing. The John Player Tobacco Company became the major sponsor of the team, which led to a couple of models hitting the market with the "JPN" identity. Such a model was this month's cover bike, a 1974 John Player Norton Endurance replica.
