The Norton Commando is a British Norton-Villiers motorcycle with an OHV pre-unit parallel-twin engine, produced by the Norton Motorcycle company from 1967 to 1977. It was introduced in 1967 at the Earls Court Show and the first production bikes were available in March 1968. Initially having a nominal 750cc displacement, actually 745cc, in 1973 it became an 850cc, actually 828cc. During its ten years of production, the Commando was popular all over the world. In the United Kingdom 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.
This rare and desirable Commando 750 S, impressively finished in vibrant yellow with twin high level exhausts, is reported to be in good running order, although vendor advises the usual checks be carried out prior to use. The history file includes a registration document, assorted old MOTs and a number of receipts including a crank overhaul and rebore.
