2011 Sport Norton Commando 961 Sport

2011 Sport Norton Commando 961 Sport catches the eye like a Commando should. It retains many of the Commando’s signature styling cues, including the air-cooled engine which leans forward at an urgent angle. It even utilises a ‘timing case’ with three bulges in all the right places. At the back, the twin shocks and kicked-up mufflers ring big Commando bells – but that might not have been the case if events of the past decade had turned out a little differently.
