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.
