Awesome video! Beautiful bikes for sure. Norton is back. If these were available here in the States I would buy one tomorrow. I had Norton posters in my room as a teenager and just dreamed. One day! Best!
Started riding Motorcycles when I just turned 16 , in 1967 , a bit long in the Tooth , but I still do , and unless I win the Lottery a New Motorcycle is just a Dream , but , If I had the cash , this Norton 916 is the only Motorcycle I would choose . The Norton V4 , I do not know if it is the same V4 Engine , but , I watched , and listened to the Norton V4 come down the start finish line at the Isle of Man flat out , what a sound .
Thought it was great too! Liked the Peter Williams inspired that's very stylish. The guy on the bike when you focused on the F1 really 😂and the terrain vehicle🤣. Still well done and tops to you. Looked like a hell of a hall, looks on here margin in comparison too.
FYI the Commando goes all the way back to the 1960s mines from 1968 being one of the first 70 ever made :) simple details but it’s important to us Norton enthusiasts. I’d also say the 16h was one of the most important models considering they made nearly 100k of them for WW2 lest we forget. For me the original commando is super smooth a motorcycle you can tour on and was revolutionary for its smoothness with the isolastics a true all day comfort machine. Having ridden a 1967 Norton 650SS for 4 years n 4 winters as a daily it makes you realise how revolutionary the isolastics system was on the Commando although the 650ss has the better handling. Was really hoping for some new bikes from Norton bit disappointing there’s nothing new again. Let’s hope they get some out, that’s more wallet friendly for everyone as back in the 1920s Norton although for the expert had a bike in the form of the big 4 for the every day rider. The person who would ride to work, cover distance and take the family out in a sidecar at the weekend. I think this is an important part of Nortons history that shouldn’t be overlooked especially when Pa Norton did such an amazing trip on one. Then the sporting side valve in the form of a 1920s Norton 16H an I can confirm riding my 1927 last week again even in cold conditions the sure do make you realise how little modern motorcycles have moved On.
Guv'nor! Those who know Norton have pointed out that a fundamental mistake was made in the design of the Commando: the featherbed frame was sacrificed and the antiquated motor was kept: Norton got it backwards. While the Commando was a splendid bike, that motor was still trying to destroy itself even though the rider was spared, given the isolastic system.
I havnt ridden a bike since 1982, but it was a Norton Commando 850 mk2 Cafe racer with a Dunstall fairing, alphabet Header exhaust, and Mikuni 32 mmm carbs, lumention ignition, and went like stink, would be no good now owning one, as my bloody hips would not work with the kick starter!!
£17,000 quid? Are you serious? The only time you see a Norton is at a bike show! Ask him about the location of your nearest dealer, warranty, product support, etc, etc. All they want is your deposit. Great name, like Triumph. But Triumph have delivered. Norton hasn’t.
I have just purchased a SP, OMG what a bike nothing like it out there just awesome!!!
@@mazer1971 Congratulations !! May I know how much it cost ?? And what all accessories did you add ??
@@user-nm8nh3kq8y Same question on my side. I live in Texas, but I would be interested if it ever was imported in the US.

Great overview! When do we get a red Commando in California?!
But will it keep a beer cold? I do own a Norton - '67 P11.
Almost an Ogri bike✌🏻

that cafe racer is just beautiful.... make a 650 version will you!!!!🥵
I think that you are describing hand 'assembled' not hand 'made' !.
V4SV Hang the number plate and lights from below the seat fairing- that current hugger is a monstrosity.
Is that a v4 aprilla engine

Just my opinion but the gear linkage looks naff just a bent piece of bar
