Did You Know The Norton Commando Was Voted Motorcycle Of The Year Five Years Running
Motorcycle magazines have tested thousands of motorcycles over the decades.
Very few have dominated the competition the way the Norton Commando did.
Between 1968 and 1972, the Norton Commando won Motorcycle News "Machine of the Year" five years in a row, an achievement that remains one of the most impressive records in motorcycling history.
Riders loved the Commando for its combination of strong performance, good handling and distinctive British character. Its innovative Isolastic frame system also helped reduce vibration while keeping the famous parallel twin engine.
The Commando arrived during a period when the British motorcycle industry was facing increasing competition from overseas manufacturers, making its success even more remarkable.
Today, it remains one of the most desirable British classics and a favourite among collectors worldwide.
If you could choose one British classic for your garage, would it be a Norton Commando, Triumph Bonneville, BSA Rocket 3 or something else?
