Motorcycle specifications Norton 961 Commando SF 2015 Sport the gentlemen
presentation of the 961 Commando SF 2015
in literature and cinema, SF stands for Science-Fiction. Did this edition of the Norton 961 Commando escape from an episode of X-Files? Hell, no! It belongs in "Chariots of Fire" or "The Legend of Bagger Vance". A superb vintage roadster with a name as classic as it is legendary, the Commando is presented here in a Sport Factoryversion. It retains the essentials of the Sport, but replaces its classic Öhlins fork with an inverted model from the same manufacturer. It also adopts radial mounting for its gold-series Brembo brake calipers.
a sportier front end, certainly, but without overshadowing the Café Racer. There are no bracelets or racing jars for brake fluid, just handlebars and a DOT box. The soul of this Norton, its 961 cm3 twin-cylinder engine, blows here through black-painted exhausts, from the cylinder head to the end of the mufflers. An extra touch: the carbon windscreen.
Desirable in every way, the Norton 961 Commando Sport Factory vacillates between cult object and whim. With a starting price of over 25,000 euros, there's nothing reasonable about this machine. Just as well, it's what keeps us dreaming.
