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 SF, Sport, Cafe Racer, and a limited production Special Edition.

All 961s get goodies like USD Ohlins suspension and Brembo brakes and the differences between variants was primarily cosmetic.

The Cafe Racer was granted its name due to clip on handlebars and a carbon fiber flyscreen.

The seller of this example (VIN: SAYCMC016EY005114) is the original owner. He purchased it from Munroe Motors in San Francisco, California.

The odometer shows 1,222 miles.

Tail tidy. The sale includes the original license plate bracket.
