A rather unfortunate choice of words I would have though. Even for the naive 60's :P. Notwithstanding I wouldn't mind one to cruise the country back roads on 8).
Interesting to note they claim a Chrome-Moly steel frame.

Quote from Classic Bike Guide Feb2010 page 78 Barber Vintage Festival
Nortons big P11 desert racer was advertised in the USA as "Dynamite on Wheels" in 1967 and came with an Atlas 750cc engine in a Matchless G85CS frame.
The one pictured has a front end and aluminum petrol tank from something more modern along with a BSA/Triumph conical rear wheel.
cheers

actually G85CS is matchless speak for machined front drum(no fins),forks are either roadholders,or matchless compy forks,the rear hub is a magnesium conical off their G50 roadracer,the tanks just a basic compy tank,(made by Lyta in lightweight aluminium for matchless),& i wouldn't be surprised if the frame is indeed crome moly!,(everyone had a good giggle at beezer for using titanium??) :P
