1974 Norton Commando 850

The vintage motorcycle is a robust 1974 Norton Commando 850, showcasing its iconic British engineering and distinctive twin-cylinder design. Manufactured in the last year of production for this model, it stands out with its classic lines, featuring a traditional double cradle frame, telescopic front fork suspension, and a rear monoshock suspended on an isolated swingarm. The 850cc air-cooled, parallel-twin engine, a hallmark of Norton's design during that era, powers the bike. It boasts a unique 'Isolastic' system which uses rubber mounts to isolate the engine from the frame, contributing to its smooth and powerful ride known for both on-road and off-road capabilities. This model is equipped with an electric start system along with the traditional kick-start, adding convenience while retaining a classic feature. The Norton Commando 850 has also gained recognition among enthusiasts for its distinctive, deep-purring exhaust note produced by its dual exhaust pipes exiting beneath the swinging arm.
