I am currently restoring a James ML, much thanks to many threads on this forum.
While researching the ML I have found several articles claiming that the Norton 16H (WD16H) is an 'affordable' war bike, that can be had on the used market for $5000-$7,000 (U.S).
I assume this is true only in Europe, and I would have to find someone willing to ship and incur shipping expenses.
So my novice questions are:
1. Is this a true accurate representation of the going price for these bikes?
2. Are there any other similar war bikes in this price range?
3. Any advice or gotcha's on locating and buying a WD16H?
4. Is the process of getting a bike shipped to the U.S a complete nightmare?
I don't have $5-7k on hand just yet, but I hope to in a few months after my ML has been finished. The thought of having a war bike has me very intrigued, as what I have been used to here in the U.S., are Harleys and Indian war bikes that cost more than my house is worth.
Thank you for your input.
