Here are my thoughts on the Norton Commando 961SP. Thanks to P&H Motorcycles in Crawley for letting me out on their bike and the motorcycle team at Brooklands Museum in Weybridge for letting me onto their historic banking.

SKIP TO 6 MINUTES IF YOU DON’T WANT THE BACK STORY!
Need to up your game. Crap visuals, bad sound and the pictures cropped down. 2 out of 10.
Should be at least 50 kilos lighter. Gez the last Squarial (the Healy 1000/4) was just 161 kilos, while the last traditional Bonnies in in the mid 80’s were way under the weight of modern ones too. With all the modern lightweight materials like carbon fibre, maraging Inox, 6-4 Ti & modern forged alloys (all available today at much lower prices in a relative sense) there’s no reason for modern bikes weighing so much more than there traditional equilivents.
The more people that review the bike the better. Whether it’s for you or me is another thing. Good effort 👍
Ohlins and Brembo components can't hide the fact that its driven by a push-rod 77-bph 5-speed air-cooled engine. Looks purty though
