The Commando was first seen in 1967 at the Earls Court Show with the first bikes available in March 1968, initially as 750cc but in 1973 it grew to 850cc. During its ten years of production the Commando was popular all over the world and won the Motor Cycle News 'Machine of the Year' award for 5 years from 1968-1972, with around 60,000 being made in total. Many were converted into production racers back in the day with firms like Norvil producing engine tuning parts and bodywork.
This Commando started life in 1971 as a standard 750 but over the years a fortune has been spent to convert it into a Norvil style production race replica with a 920cc big bore top end. The bike comes fitted with a race style fuel tank and seat unit together with a top half fairing, Norvil rearsets, alloy rims and Norvil twin disc front brakes with floatingdisc and Lockheed callipers. It is accompanied by many receipts from the likes of Fair Spares and Norvil adding up to over £13,000 that has been spent on the bike. Not used for a while and in need of some finishing work, it will make a great 'Cafe Racer' or Norvil production racer replica and is offered with some old MOTs, lots of history told through receipts for work done and a current V5C.
