Norton Back in Britain
Norton back in Britain
The intention is to mass produce a current Norton prototype, known as the 961 Commando SS. The 961 will be the first new Norton model to be launched from the all-new Commando Platform. This model, as well as those intended to follow, will draw inspiration from the past while also building on the Norton legacy for the future.
Garner received a shipment of parts, tooling and a prototype 961 as well as two 852 Commandos after the deal
The production 961 will receive fuel injection to improve performance and emissions, Carbon wheels and body parts to save weight, a new kick stand, and an updated suspension from the Ohlins system currently fitted on the bike.
