These are not things to be taken lightly, but to those willing to put in the effort and work though some obstacles there should be a very rewarding experience waiting.Monday - Friday 9am - 5:30pm. It is safe to assume that many overlook the Norton due to lack of dealer support and concerns over small batch British manufacturing. Arguably a better spec then all but the super expensive Paul Smart versions, and a much more rare motorcycle. Buyers of the Ducati are probably cross shopping with some of the brand new Triumph offerings, but a case can be made to include these Norton 961s on the shopping list as well. Currently the Ducati Sport Classic range is super desirable, and for good reason. When new these were rather expensive motorcycles, and entered the market as many were unable to continue indulging themselves with machines like this. Good Luck and thanks for viewing this ad!

Recently serviced with fluid changes and heads re-torqued to spec as recommended. So, if you’re the first bidder, you’re guaranteed a great bike to add to your collection unless someone outbids you. Opening bid is $13k and there is no reserve. Bike is used and I still occasionally ride it so it does have signs of use and miles may increase. This is not a bike that comes on the market very often, and certainly with the extras included here, this is a rare opportunity. If you are someone who treats motorcycles like museum art, and you appreciate the finest things in life, and don’t mind being the center of attention at the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, and find yourself taking pics of your motorcycle all the time from every angle…… this is the bike for you. I’m proud to offer for sale an iconic British motorcycle that has all the modern technologies but retains the look, feel, vibration, and thundering sound of the old English cafe racers. This was designed to give the owner all of the positives of a vintage bike, the look, the feel, the fun with none of the downsides like leaking oil, carbs that need to be “tickled” before starting or poor braking. Ohlins front and rear, Brembo calipers, modern rubber and fuel injection mean this is not your fathers Norton. Not going to set any local lap records, but more then enough performance for its intended use. 80hp is tasked with moving just over 400 pounds. The 961 is instantly recognizable as a Norton Commando as the engine side covers could be nothing else. Bikes started to be delivered about two years latter. In 2008 they purchased a Donington Park facility to manufacture the Commando once again. Right as the world economy was in dire straights, Norton Motorcycles was attempting to make a comeback. One example of these types of bikes that is not as widely known as it should is the modern Norton Commando 961. The market for such bikes is extremely hot right now. At this point many of the main stream manufactures have entire lines of retro bikes to appeal to those looking for a vintage aesthetics, but demand modern build quality and performance. Be that vintage bike that eluded them in period, or a retro styled bike that harkens back to the legends of the past. As time marches on many find themselves enjoying experiences from the past. They are not just for point A to B transportation, they are for enjoyment. Often motorcycles are an overly emotional object.
