NORTON COMMANDO

Norton Comando 1974 mk2 a nice clean example runs well, as this is a classic bike we do not offer any warranty, you are more than welcome to come and inspect the bike prior to purchase. The Commando's vibration-beating Isolastic frame enabled Norton Villiers successfully to prolong the life of their ageing parallel twin. Launched in 1967, the Commando used the preceding Atlas model's 750cc engine and AMC gearbox, and was an instant hit, being voted Motor Cycle News 'Machine of the Year' for five consecutive years. A little down on top speed compared to rivals such as BSA-Triumph's 750cc triples and Honda's CB750 four, the Commando more than made up for this minor deficiency with superior mid-range torque and steadier handling. Introduced in 1973, the '850' (actually 829cc) featured a larger bore, through-bolted cylinder block, stronger gearbox casting and an all-metal clutch among a host of other, more minor improvements. In 1974, a mildly revised MkII version was introduced featuring new colour schemes, while the MkIIA came with a quieter exhaust and larger airbox enabling it to meet European noise regulations.
