Description from the seller
Vehicle description
Norton, founded in 1898 by James Lansdowne Norton in Birmingham, is a legendary British motorcycle brand with a rich history. The brand gained worldwide fame through its successes at the Isle of Man TT. It became known for the Dominator, Commando, and Manx models. The sprung-seat frame was an epochal development for pure motorcycling feeling and exclusivity.
The Norton Commando 961 Sport, manufactured in Donington Park, is a modern interpretation of the legendary Commando from the 1960s. This motorcycle combines timeless, classic lines with high-quality, modern technology, and offers a unique riding experience and appearance.
Under the tank lies a powerful 961 cm³ parallel-twin engine with dry-sump lubrication, delivering around 80 PS and 80 Nm of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheel via a 5-speed gearbox. The chassis is finely equipped with fully adjustable Öhlins suspension: a 43-mm front fork and two rear shock absorbers with adjustable ride height, spring preload, and compression and rebound damping.
The braking system also reflects the high quality. The front features two floating 320-mm discs with radially mounted Brembo 4-piston calipers, and the rear has a 220-mm disc with a Brembo 2-piston caliper. This ensures strong and well-dosed braking performance.
With a curb weight of about 205 kg and a top speed of around 210 km/h (130 mph), this Norton offers not only character but also impressive performance.
The Commando 961 Sport is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful motorcycles of recent years. A true head-turner with a timeless character — a motorcycle you don’t just ride, but a diva that deserves care and maintenance.
Even though this is not an entry-level price, you are purchasing an exclusive motorcycle with history, character, and lasting value. A machine you will enjoy for years and eventually pass on to the next generation.
After production was discontinued, you can acquire here an exclusive classic motorcycle icon.
The vehicle has 2 owners and was first registered in Liechtenstein.
At EGLI-Motors, the exhaust system and ignition were optimized.
TÜV is valid until June.
The vehicle must be collected.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
