The Norton Commando is a British Norton-Villiers motorcycle with an OHV pre-unit parallel-twin engine, produced from 1967 until 1977. Initially with 750cc (745cc), in 1973 it became 850cc (828cc). The larger 850 engine was introduced initially as an alternative to the 750, but as the sole option from late 1973. All 850 models were fitted with a front disc brake. During its ten years of production, the Commando was popular all over the world. In the UK it won the Motor Cycle News "Machine of the Year" award for five successive years from 1968-1972. Around 60,000 Commandos were made in total.

On offer is a hot version of the famous Norton Commando. It has been bored out to 920cc with a new electric start conversion and belt drive, a new Dual Keihin Flat Slide Carburettor Kit, a new seat, a new front master cylinder and many new custom parts supplied and fitted from NYC Norton. There has been no-expense-spared during its restoration which was carried out by a Norton enthusiast. It starts 'on the button' as it should and settles to a good idle. We have been advised it is very quick and will not disappoint its new owner. It comes with its rear sets and some other parts shown in the pictures and a current V5C.
