135 Miles in England – 1989 Norton Commander

In England, Touring by AbhiLeave a Comment

Just 253 examples of the Norton Commander were ever built, and this one stands out as it only has 135 miles. The Commander was offered in two variants: P52 was for police, and P53 was for civilians. You’d probably expect the police version to be the rarer of the two, but in this case you’d be wrong.

THe police bikes had a single seat but civvie versions got two seats and 50 liters of luggage capacity. Norton introduced the Wankel engine to their stable with the ’87 Classic, but the Commander gained liquid-cooling to help bump up output to 85 horsepower and 55 pound-feet of torque. There’s also a Japanese influence, as the forks, front wheel, and brakes were all sourced from Yamaha.
