This 1975 Norton 850 Commando is a striking example of how
thoughtful craftsmanship can elevate a legendary British motorcycle
while keeping its soul intact. This bike was fully restored and
carefully improved by Colorado Norton Works, a name closely tied to
the Norton Motorcycle Company and respected throughout the vintage
performance world. With just 52 miles since its 2023 completion,
this Norton Commando bike presents as essentially new.
Power comes from the 850 parallel twin bored .020 and fed by dual
35mm Keihin carburetors. The engine is paired with a 4-speed
transmission, a 42-tooth final drive, and a 520 rear sprocket,
delivering the mechanical feel that defines a true Norton
motorcycle. Billet aluminum valve covers, chrome Rabers headers,
and stainless mufflers add visual presence while staying true to
the Commando character.
Finished in deep PPG Midnight Sapphire, the look is completed with
a TriBar headlight, cafe-style LED signals, and a black leather
Corbin Gunfighter seat. Smiths gauges, modified Honda switch
clusters, and an electric start bring modern usability to this
classic Norton Commando motorbike. Braking is handled by Brembo
disc brakes with 4-piston front and 2-piston rear calipers, while
Sun alloy rims sized 19-inch front and 18-inch rear are supported
by Hagon stainless shocks.
For collectors seeking a Norton motorcycle that blends originality
with thoughtful execution, this Norton Commando for sale stands at
the top of the field among serious Norton bikes.
