A Norton Commando? Think Keanu might have owned this at one point. Recently a yellow Commando popped up on ebay with an old title signed by Keanu, maybe same bike? Who knows. Seller didn't say it was from a movie however. 750 Norton Commando I found the bike. Not owned by Keanu, rather it's currently owned by the director. Here it is as of 5/12/2012. http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff192/swooshdave/NortonMisc/56ae64a4.jpg It's a 1971 Commando.

I'm not sure, but could it be a Norton Commando 750?
I had a better view in this picture http://pics.imcdb.org/8212/656121.jpg and I'm pretty sure it's a 1970/71 Norton Commando 750 Roadster

Norton Commando with aftermarket tank and seat - probably made by Dunstall. Difficult to dat exactly but I think the Commando got a disc front brake from about 1972. NZ, Judging from the extra capacity tank design and the seat/tail section this is a Gus Kuhn Commando. The Kuhn tail section sloped down where the Dunstall had a slight kick up. This one slopes down. I never saw Dunstall market a 5 Imperial gallon (6 gallon U.S.) tank whereas Gus Kuhn did. I can't recall the name of it but it was named after one of the race tracks in the UK. One they had the endurance type races at.
On closer examination this is his 1974 model an absolutely beautiful Commando. If you go to: http://www.guskuhn.net/GKMLtd/GKCommandos.htm Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page you will see the fairing models but you can make out the large tanks and sloping tail. Cheers Mate
