Early Fastback – Norton Commando

In England, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

The seller calls this bike a ’67, though the only bikes produced that year were pre-production models for show. I’m going to assume that this is actually a ’68, which is still quite early in the Commando run. In fact, it’s early enough that this is probably one of the bikes that suffered from a weak frame and could suffer a headstock failure. Owners typically retrofitted the bracing that Norton went with on bikes from ’69 and on, but it doesn’t seem like the frame has been upgraded on this specific bike for sale.

Norton-Villiers Commando - Tank

As an early bike (in Emerald Green), this features the “Norton-Villiers” badges. The handlebars and front fender aren’t stock, and it seems that the gauge cluster has been replaced. It has spent the last 27 years in dry storage and will need a little love to bring it back on the road, though it has compression and the motor kicks over.
