Yes and no, I had too many bikes and still kept my fovourite two, one old and one new, that's enough.

Now,

Make?
cc?
Model name?

Close, I asked for ...
Make? Norton, is correct
cc? 650cc, incorrect, the black breather pipe at front of crankcase is a clue to cc's
Model name? incorrect, not an SS
Your additional information of 1962 is very close actually 1963 with 1967 seat fitted.

I'm passing to give someone else a turn.

So you have it figured?

I suspect this game may fold again because only a few are interested and becomes time consuming for the person posting the photo and checking the answers on a regular basis.

No, bigger than 500cc and bigger than 650cc.
Not a Dominator but the Dominator was a forerunner to this bike.

Bingo (1963 actually)

Take it away Dave.

 

[DaveM]

When I first saw the photo I thought 750 but then it did not match up with the Commander and I cannot recall seeing this one before.

Ok here we go then

PM'd answer to Dave, I think I got it, but I did work in a dealership in those days that sold that brand. Lets see how well the old cells work.
Come on people enter up.

 

[DaveM]

Ok before I actually forget what this bike is here we go Yamaha XZ 550

If anyone wants to take it away

I told you so Dave oh I forgot people don't like a smart a***

Sorry to say, but it looks like this has died again.

Also looks like the "treasure hunt" is looking for CPR.

 

[DaveM]

It does look that way on both

 

[otherwise]

I don't think they will actually die, just have a rest for a while then some (new ?) member will be sifting through old posts and BINGO "what a good idea, lets do this again".

 

[DaveM]

Yes this is what happened this time around so lets see what it does then

 

[Ksquared]

OK - I'll try it again

 

[DaveM]

I have seen this pic someplace now to try and remember
