The Norton Commando the first British super bike. The model for sale here is the Mk 2a variant. Some say the best model to go for with all the niggles of the previous models sorted out but by way of main bearings etc without the complexity of the Mk 3 Electric start model.This is a standard looking prestige British bike.
Take this out for a run and wherever you go people will talk to you about it and comment on it. The sound of the big twin with the reverse megaphone exhaust is sublime to say the least. The torque and pull of the 850cc engine and the smooth changing gearbox are a joy to ride. This re built classic machine looks as though it was manufactured last week. The only addition being up rated ignition system and the Mk3 Isolastics to the engine.
