That's a 1968 Norton Commando Fastback 750cc, at the time just about the fastest and coolest thing on the road. I doubt that Cass owned the bike though. Too fast for her!
I have to withdraw my comment on Cass not owning the bike. Maybe she did. Found a listing on some guy talking about going for a ride with Cass on her Sporster. My sexist bad.
Singer "Mama" Cass Elliot of the Mamas and the Papas sits her motorcycle with her daughter Owen.
What make of bike is this?
ReplyDeleteWith the forward tilted engine, round tank badges and tailpiece, I would say it's a Norton Commando 750 Fastback.
