Motorcycle specifications Norton961 Commando Café Racer MK II Mick Grant Special 2016 The other pillars of English history

with this special edition of the 961 Commando Café Racer, Norton pays tribute to one of its most iconic riders: Mick Grant. A development rider for the brand, he wrote one of the finest pages in the history of the 750 Commando. In 1972, he teamed up with Dave Croxford to win the famous Thruxton 500 race.
Much later, he collaborated with Honda to develop the surprising NR500 with oval pistons.

decked out in blue and white, this replica proudly bears the n°7. However, Mick Grant mainly raced with n°10. Why the different numbering? Because the English driver won the Tourist Trophy 7 times, and this Norton will be produced in only 7 examples. Rarity will have little impact on the factory price. In addition to the dress, the model also features carbon parts such as the mudguard, windscreen and chain guard, a black finish for the exhaust system, and to round things off, the rider's signature. In fact, every purchaser will have the opportunity to meet Mick Grant at the factory when they collect their model.

like the standard Café Racer, this very limited 961 commando is equipped with Öhlins suspension, Brembo all-radial braking, superb spoked wheels fitted with sport tires, an exciting engine and a very attractive silhouette.
