NORTON 750 COMMANDO PR
In 1967, in order to relaunch the sales on
a rapidly changed two wheelers market, the Norton Motorcycle Company introduced
its new motorcycle: the Norton Commando. The Commando adopted a parallel twin cylinder
750cc engine with two valves per cylinder. Compared to the previous British
engines it was characterized by the higher displacement and the tilted forward
cylinders. The use of the Isolastic antivibration system provided an impressive
improvement in riding comfort. The Norton Commando, replaced the outdated
Atlas, and obtained immediately good commercial success. It became very popular
and well-known all over the World. In the United Kingdom it won the Motor Cycle
News “Machine of the Year” award for five successive years from 1968 to 1972.
Particularly appreciated was the modern and innovative shape, for its time, including
the design of the fuel tank, handlebar and back cover.
