It’s been a few years since the new Norton Commando was made available in the US. Known as the 961, it was offered in 4 variants – the Sport, Cafe Racer, a limited production Special Edition, and the SF (Sport Factory).

All 961s get goodies like USD Ohlins suspension and Brembo brakes

The Sport Factory model was released three years after the rest of the lineup, and it was top-of-the-line at the time (£2,000 more than the standard Sport model). Per the Norton Owners Club, differentiators included USD Ohlins forks, radial Brembo brake calipers, conventional handlebars, carbon fiber chain guard/rear hugger/license plate bracket and black chrome headers and exhausts.

Manufactured in July of 2012, this example is VIN: SAYCMF018DY005020. The seller acquired it in 2019 from a private party in Texas.

During his ownership, the seller covered approximately 1,500 miles. The odometer shows 5,435 miles.

Maintenance:
The seller has performed an oil/filter change, brake fluid flush, and installed new tires by himself. He states that there are no known mechanical issues.
