This 1975 Norton 850 Commando is a striking example of how thoughtful craftsmanship can elevate a legendary British motorcycle while keeping its soul intact. This bike was fully restored and carefully improved by Colorado Norton Works, a name closely tied to the Norton Motorcycle Company and respected throughout the vintage performance world. With just 52 miles since its 2023 completion, this Norton Commando bike presents as essentially new.
Power comes from the 850 parallel twin bored .020 and fed by dual 35mm Keihin carburetors. The engine is paired with a 4-speed transmission, a 42-tooth final drive, and a 520 rear sprocket, delivering the mechanical feel that defines a true Norton motorcycle. Billet aluminum valve covers, chrome Rabers headers, and stainless mufflers add visual presence while staying true to the Commando character.
Finished in deep PPG Midnight Sapphire, the look is completed with a TriBar headlight, caf©-style LED signals, and a black leather Corbin Gunfighter seat. Smiths gauges, modified Honda switch clusters, and an electric start bring modern usability to this classic Norton Commando motorbike. Braking is handled by Brembo disc brakes with 4-piston front and 2-piston rear calipers, while Sun alloy rims sized 19-inch front and 18-inch rear are supported by Hagon stainless shocks.
For collectors seeking a Norton motorcycle that blends originality with thoughtful execution, this Norton Commando for sale stands at the top of the field among serious Norton bikes.
