Norton Commando 961 for sale
SELLER SAYS: Second series Norton Commando 961SF for sale. 3100km. Comes with books and service manual. Bike has been kept inside house! Priced to sell. The 961 SF Mk II is all about refinement. The original 961, though characterful and desirable, was also fairly crude. Five years have improved that tremendously, particularly with the transmission. In the flesh, although the basic elements of the bike are the same, it is noticeably updated (particularly the brakes and seat), the new titanium grey colour scheme is mature and classy and it is also conspicuously more refined in terms of build quality and finish over the early ‘MkI’ bikes. From the saddle, though respectably light and lithe, the 961 is a fairly big, roomy roadster with a pleasing view ahead over classic twin dials. Stability, steering (bar a slightly restricted steering lock) and manageability are all intuitive and natural; the posh suspension and brakes, classy and effective. All of which leaves you to focus on the heart of the matter: the drive and delivery of that big Norton twin. Wind it above four thousand rpm and it’s truly invigorating and a joy. It doesn’t take long to realise how good it is through the turns. The steering is accurate and reassuring. Contact Gary at Albany Motorcycles on 0898 422 914 (Albany, Western Australia)
