Not an 81, ATE brakes a dead giveaway,....80 perhaps. still nice...

Glorious!

Beautiful machine.

I had a bright red twin carb Norton 99, 600cc, it looked good, but it was like throwing your leg over a road drill, the vibration made more than my teeth chatter. Was glad to get rid of that bone shaking piece of crap. I eventually got a Triumph TR6, less teeth chattering and a much smoother ride.

That’s a cracker, mate. I’m nearing the completion of the rebuild of my ‘72 Interplod. Megas came with it but I’ve had to ditch the standard tank for a roadster one. I really hope I like it after all the work I’ve put in. If I do like it I’m going to buy roadster pipes and peashooters.

the bike looks and sounds amazing, credit to you

Good for 90mph

She's beauty

My word that sounds good ticking over. Still the most beautiful bike there is.

does the button ever kick back against your finger? I guess not :)

I bought 72 Norton in London in spring 73, drove 2.5k mikes Europe shipped to Chicago, Later blowup trans, at 2nd gear shift, three cases destroyed because of Barnett clutches w/ 21 tooth sprocket, later back to stock clutch which lasted rest of 40 years that I owned it.

I’m a sport bike kind of guy, but there’s something special about these Norton commanders!!

that's my old bike it sounds better with no baffles but love what you did with it

Hey mate would you be open to selling?

Das hat etwas.... Würde ich gerne kaufen?

So, nice, that Sound.

Absolutely awesome! Great job.

That was the first year America mandated standardized controls (left shift one down then up) and also headlight always on.

Nice

Da, ist dat, coole Moped.

Eine Guzzi ist immer ROT

Das wäre mein Moped! 👍

Da, isse, tolles Motorrad. Isle of Man....Ich erinnere mich. Einfach, schön.

A '72 with electric start? What's the world coming to !!!!

This guy living the dream.

The nice thing about Norton Motorcycles is how upgraded they can be and still look fantastic. They are truly a usable modern classic.

Bsa engines always sounded tighter and sweeter than Triumph twins

So, etwas, von super

what a great collection!

Tardis Cottage! I like it!

A nice rumble

Eine Norton, super. Ich bin damit, gross geworden. Isle of Man. Ich würde gerne das 2. MOPED, KAUFEN.

I miss my 71. Combat Commando

Just beautiful!

👍

Sounds good

Fantastic mister. He started it more in a minute than I could get mine going in 6 weeks.

Nice bike I had a couple of fastback s I remember having a 750 commando plate on the front guard and I remember running Siamese pipes on one of those supposed to be worth 10 horse power more

recently came into possesion of an engine for one of these!

Love how you whipped the primary cover off like that. I had a second hand norton 750 as a teenager in the 70s which always had a slipping clutch. I imagine you could sort that sort of problem quite easily though my Kiwi bike mechanic back in the day was never able to. I can relate to Gerry below as I traded that norton for the bling of a cb750/4 and now wish I never had. Great video cheers!

That RT looks an awful lot like an RS. I also note that the side covers that say RT are not original, and the fairing is missing many of the RT pieces. Are you sure it is not an RS that had some RT parts added?

My friend used to race a Norton in the early 70s

Why is it that my 73 850 doesn't have blinkers?

Very nice

Lovely machine ! Nicely done upgrades too. I have a 1972 commando . It does not have electric start. Was that an option in 1972 ? T hat looks like the biger tank. Mine has the bigger petrol tank . Shes a garage queen now. Had to quit riding. Too many close calls with stupid people on smart ass phones. I would still be riding if I had a street like yours. Love my Norton and my Norton and my Triumph ! Thanks for that wonderful sound !

Nice video. Beautiful bike. Real human being. I could type about the bikes I've owned and never owned but it's not about me so why would I bother. Thanks for sharing

Sounds great 👍 I’ve just bought a Royal Enfield Interceptor and my first mod has been a set of silencers that look and sound just like the Commando ones. Next step is to liberate a few more horsepower to give it the performance to match the Norton legend 😊👍

Nice bike, I also have a 72, Alton e start etc

Doesn't matter how old we get there is still a big kid inside of us that wants to fang a sweet old bike down the road. Nice work mate.

Magnificent
