125 LIMITED EDITION MOTORCYCLE
Since 1898, at Norton we have strived to be the best we can be. We have taken risks – some we’ve won, others we haven’t – but we would not be where we are if we had not tried. After all, you don’t win eight World Championships, 94 TTs and countless Bike of the Year accolades without pushing the boundaries. To celebrate our 125th anniversary, we are creating a range of Limited Editions that take inspiration from iconic models throughout the years: the Energette, Manx, the Formula 750 Works Racer and the NRS588.
There are six Limited Editions based on the Commando 961 SP, Commando 961 CR, V4SV and V4CR, with a production run of just 125 models across the entire collection.
One of the most successful British racing motorcycles in history, the Norton Manx was developed in 1937, and produced until 1962, making it one of the longest-running production racing motorcycles. A key participant in both international Grand Prix and privateer racing, the Manx claimed victory in 13 Isle of Man TT races and continued to compete every year until the 1970s.
Based on the Commando 961, the Commando 961 LE ‘Manx’ references the iconic silver tank with black bodywork and frame. The ‘Manx’ adds an even sportier dimension with a black engine, black footrests, black yokes, black Öhlins suspension, carbon fibre chainguard and carbon fibre flyscreen. The colour matched seat cowl also wears a commemorative 125-year anniversary crest, bearing the Limited Edition logo.
