Norton Commando description

This rare Commando is one(1) of four(4) bikes for sale from my collection, and is currently part of a two(2) month exhibit ending on 9/5/16 at The Stony Brook Museum Educational and Cultural Center in Stony Brook, New York. It was purchased by me in 1995 as a basket case and  underwent a 100% total restoration entailing every nut and bolt in the machine. The engine has been totally rebuilt (cases split) and rebuilt with all new internals, super-blend bearings, pistons, rings, valves, guides, springs, etc..   Internals were balanced, Boyer electronic ignition, new clutches, Transmission rebuilt, sprockets renewed, forks rebuilt with new seals and progressive springs. Newer version vernier adjustable isolastic suspension, new rims with S/S spokes, new exhaust pipes and mufflers, much re-chroming---a total rebuild/restoration that took many hours.

 All parts were purchased from Walridge Motors, Canada--the 'source' for OEM parts for British bikes. First registered in 1999 by me it has been ridden every year ( for a few hundred miles ) and continuously maintained. The original fuel tank is fiberglass and on the shelf with a correct alloy tank currently installed (shown in pictures) due to alcohol additives in gasoline. New Amal 930 Concentrics installed in June of 2016. This bike is quick, light, and handles wonderfully and has a great sound---it is worthy of the 'Snortin Norton' nickname.

A Norton Villiers 750 Commando Shop Manual and indoor full cover are included in this sale.

Production of 650cc Norton models will start at the end of next year

Tue, 17 Nov 2020

In addition to the release of V4 and Commando models, the British plan to expand their lineup. The Norton V4 and Commando motorcycles, presented to the public in 2018, will not start rolling off the assembly line until the end of 2021. This is primarily due to the fact that Norton, owned by the Indian company TVS, is currently busy transferring production from Donnington Hall to Solihull.
