Vehicle Description
This vehicle is being sold as Lot No. F232.
- With support from cigarette mogul John Player, Norton built about two hundred road race styled 850cc Commandos in 1974. Factory sponsored racers and privateers enjoyed success on them. Kits were made available to the public through Norton dealers. This is one of those. Partial list of kit package includes, body and fairing glass and mounting hardware, clip on bars, rear sets, black chrome exhaust, two headlights and tail storage for hundreds of smokes.
In 1975 the owner of this 1974 Commando decided, I gotta have one of those. A purchase was made, but years passed during the transition from street to racer. Now in 2017 this machine still has traveled only 3,652 miles since new.
Yes, this is a kit bike, but about the time you engage 2nd gear you realize that you?re on something very special
