Norton Motorsports Taking Orders for 2007 Commando 961
December 21, 2005 - Norton Press Release



What could say Merry Christmas better than a new Commando 961?

Norton Motorsports is taking deposits for the 2007 production Commando.

For over two years, Norton Motorcycles has been focused on the design and development of a great new Commando. We have struggled as we continue to fight the battle between financial pressures and building new Nortons that stay true to the brand.

Our current focus is execution of our test plan and the initiation of production processes.

In parallel, we are building a great business that can manufacture, sell and support at a level equal to the motorcycles themselves. One crucial component to our business planning is an accurate forecast of demand. To facilitate this, we are taking reservations for all 2007 production models including the Commando Signature Series, the Commando 961S and 961.

This is a great opportunity to become a partner in the rebirth of the Commando, as your reservation will help us take the next steps into the future of Norton Motorcycles.

That's cheaper than I thought they were going to sell for.

I am assuming that's U.S. money, but still.....

I'm diggin' it. Not as a daily rider mind you, but I like the concept. I think that a journo named David Edwards from one of the American rags has a red one if I remember correctly, and it looks a lot better.

Couldn't be 'NOT FUN' could it!

I'd like to ride one & find out!

I suppose Jay Lenno has one already!
