Description
"Norton 850 Commando Motorcycle" by Daniel Peirce
The Norton Commando is a British Norton-Villiers motorcycle with an OHV pre-unit parallel-twin engine, produced by the Norton Motorcycle company from 1967 until 1977. Initially having a nominal 750 cc displacement, actually 745 cc (45.5 cu in), in 1973 it became an 850 cc, actually 828 cc (50.5 cu in).
Engine: 745 and 828 cc (45.5 and 50.5 cu in) air-cooled OHV parallel-twin
Top speed: 115 mph (185 km/h) (750)
Weight: 420 lb (190 kg)
During its ten years of production, the Commando was popular all over the world. In the United Kingdom it won the Motor Cycle News "Machine of the Year" award for five successive years from 1968-1972. Given that its engine was an old pre-unit design, even Norton's chairman, Dennis Poore, expressed surprise at the Commando's remarkable success.
