Norton Commando 850
What is your favourite motorcycle of all time?
The 850 Commando was launched in 1973 and this was to be the final incarnation of Norton's classic vertical twin. The 828cc engine was a solid design although by now was approaching thirty years of age and consequently competing with more sophisticated Japanese four-cylinder power, was a difficult taks. Power output had risen to 60bhp @ 6000rpm but there was no significant improvement in performance over the 750, with a top speed of 115mph (185kph). Nevertheless, the 850 Commando found a loyal following for those motorcyclists looking for torque and generally unfussed cruising.
