Description
1974 Norton Commando 850
Launched in 1967, the Commando featured an ingenious, vibration-beating 'Isolastic' frame that enabled Norton Villiers to prolong the life of their ageing parallel twin. The Commando used the preceding Featherbed-framed Atlas model's 750cc engine and AMC gearbox, and was an instant hit with the motorcycling public, being voted Motor Cycle News 'Machine of the Year' for five consecutive years. 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.
This particular Motorcycle has been in collection for the past twenty years with only 3 former keepers, starts, stops and steers as you'd expect. Could benefit with some light recommissioning for touring use.
Viewing by prior appointment only.
