I just got an email about the Norton 961. If you want an information pack sent from the new company in England then go to this link:

Great. Now I'm pining for my 73 Commando.





That 961 is one bad-*ss lookin beast. It looks to be the same model that the U.S. owner tried to bring to market.

Is it still pre-unit construction?

It would be cool if they put the shifter and rear brake levers back on their proper sides of the bike and stuck with 1up/4down shift pattern (my 73 had a 5-speed Quaife).

Lots of nice parts and pieces to it.

Who's going to be the first to order?

A buddy of mine had an 850 Commando back in the day and it was pretty cool. One night we were coming back from somewhere or other at 1 am in the morning and cresting this hill when a raccoon ran out in the road an the Norton's center stand scooped the gray matter right out of that coons brain bucket and flipped him right into the ditch ( the coon that is). Kinda made me feel sad for the poor little bugger. Never felt a thing I'm certain.

Sorry, Tootal. I was being facetious yesterday. I promise to retire all those photos.

At $60,000 I'm not sure I'd be interested. . . . at $8,000 maybe.

I always smell "vaporware" when they shroud the bike in hyperbole absent price.

Found this posting after being away for the holidays. There was a similar posting on ADVRider recently, as well.
I had a deposit for one of the Signature Series 961s back when Kenny Dreer was still running the show.

Cut it out will you ?
