The Norton Commando is a British Norton-Villiers motorcycle with an OHV pre-unit parallel-twin engine, produced from 1967 until 1977. The larger 850 engine was introduced initially as an alternative to the 750, but as the sole option from late 1973. During its ten years of production, the Commando was popular all over the world. In the UK it won the Motor Cycle News 'Machine of the Year' award for five successive years from 1968-1972. Some 60, 000 Commandos were made in total.
This 1978 Norton Commando MkIII has had just four owners from new and has been well-maintained in that time. The paintwork presents in very good order as does the chrome work. The Norton has recently been serviced, starts with ease and rides very well. It is accompanied by a current V5C and sundry paperwork.
