1974 Norton Commando 850
The vintage motorcycle, a 1974 Norton Commando 850, stands out with its distinctive British classic styling, manufactured four decades ago in the industrial heartland of England. This iconic model, often referred to as the 'World's Fastest Standard' during its heyday, is powered by an air-cooled parallel twin engine, delivering a robust 65 horsepower and a top speed touching 120 mph. Its unique 'Isolastic' system, introduced by Norton in 1968, suspends the engine and gearbox within a rubber cradle to absorb road vibrations, ensuring a comfortable riding experience even on rough terrain. The motorcycle's sleek design features classic styling elements like the teardrop tank, dual seat setup, and an iconic 'Norton' badge proudly displayed at the center of its steel backbone frame. Finished in a deep metallic blue, it exudes a timeless charm that makes it both an excellent performer on the roads and a sought-after collector's item among vintage bike enthusiasts.
