Best Of Luck! Front Wheel Size Matters. Launching 3 New Commando Versions. Wish Dan much success and I sure would love to be puttin around on one of those. Finally stateside. Good looking machine. What is the cost gonna be? Indian, Excelsior-Henderson, Crocker, Norton died.
Indian died? Have the folks at Kings Mountain been told? In , Norton unveiled a special edition of the Commando made in partnership with watch maker, Breitling. Each one carried a number plaque on its top yoke and came with an option of exhaust styles.
We looked at what was right for the brand from an image position, and from an engineering position. Norton built 50 limited-edition Commando Street models. The beautiful tail unit was hand-crafted in aluminium, while the seat was a bespoke item made of Alcantara and stitched with a diamond pattern. The bars were black Renthal Fatbars, which were nicely accentuated by the polished top yoke and bar clamps, while the official factory carbon headlamp cowl, fender, chain guard and numberplate hangar all added a bit of classy bling, too.
These bikes went off sale when Norton went into administration. There's no word whether new owners TVS will bring back the Commando badge at this point. The Norton roadster has had many rivals come and go over the decades but the main protagonist has been Triumph. The British rivalry has stood the test of the time and even now the cc Triumph Thruxton is probably its closest rival. The Triumph is more refined and powerful, but the Norton still wins on exclusivity and character.
BMW's R nineT range is also a more modern take on the retro theme. The boxer twin produces a lot more power bhp versus the Commando's 79bhp. And there are five versions of the Beemer to choose from to suit every taste and pocket.
