The 850 Commando was introduced in 1973. Still with the refined Isolastic suspension that damped out engine vibrations, the 850 version had more power and torque in a generally more refined engine. In 1975 Norton introduced an electric start version to match US and Japanese offerings.
The 1976 Commando offered here is a long term owner bike with Queensland previous registration. Although sold without Registration it can easily be registered with the previous Registration paperwork included in the Sale. Comes with some receipts and workshop manual and a box of parts replaced. The bike is an excellent runner fitted with all the desirable improvements available from Norton specialists. The starter motor has been replaced with the more powerful 4 brush alternative and the brakes upgraded. A Mikuni carb conversion has been fitted. The original carbs and airbox are included in the sale. Wheel rims have been replaced with alloy flanged rims. Engine and gearbox have recently been rebuilt and the clutch has been upgraded to the Andover Norton spec to alter the take up point.
