I just had to photograph this at my local bike meeting recently. It's a Norton Commando 961 cafe racer

They're a good looking machine but well out of most peoples price range.

I'd prefer the Jota further along.

Back in the day I had the Jota and Guzzi Le Mans at the top of my wants list but ended up with a Honda Phil Read Replica.

I was thinking of one for track days LOL!

apparently they're stateside too, hadn't noticed anything about the Commando since an article in a magazine a year or so ago. Price around 15k-18k...while expensive, it's not out of the range for those who really want one around here. Many folks spend the same amount if not more on their Harley Davidson here in the US...I'd be curious how she runs, with a "performance" design, it has to be an difficult balance between street riding poise and composure, along with comfort...since you can buy faster bikes, and more comfy bikes for the same price...it's a bit of a niche market...and considerably more expensive than classic styled triumphs.

WOW that is beautiful. Not much more to say really.

(:-})

I read a review in mcn about these and they were very impressed. much higher spec parts than the thruxton and handled better too.
bit of a dream garage bike, just to say you got one. I have never seen one in the flesh

[Flatline]

That really is a great looking bike

If you check out the latest MCN you will see the new Domiracer.............makes that one look ordinary

[aces-high]

That Domiracer looks like someone cobbled it together it the garden shed. Just doesn't do for me. Maybe better in the flesh?
some photos don't show the bike in the best light.

[sirch345]

Yes a cool £15,250 OTR price. I prefer the look of this Cafe Racer to the SF (Street Fighter I presume) or the Sport version. I've not seen the Domiracer in MCNs.

Here's a bit more on Nortons:-
