This 2019 Norton Commando 961 Street is a lightly used mileage example of the rare limited-run motorcycle. The culmination of a 40-year dream by motorcycling legend Henry Cole to build his ultimate Norton, the 961 Street evokes the golden era of ‘70s muscle bikes. Given its limited-edition status, this example would make a fine addition to any two-wheeled collection, as well as an exciting and head-turning companion for weekend rides on its new owner’s favourite roads.
One of just 50 Norton Commando's 916 Henry Cole and Guy Willison-designed machines, this 916 Commando has formed part of a private collection of various motorcycles and limited edition models. Purchased by the vendor in 2024, in its current condition, it has been used on a private road to keep it up and running. The Norton has stood since last autumn and will need the usual checks before putting it back on the road. The Norton is offered complete with its Norton wallets and books, and a green new-keepers slip.
