3rd verse of the new Commando, the 961 Cafe Racer smells like arson. This model lives up to its name beautifully, with the look of a 70s motorcycle always ready for a good wad. Like its predecessor (750 and 850 Commando), it delivers all it can through a big, air-cooled twin. The same mechanics as on the SE and Sport versions – something completely out of step with the concept of modern sport. Consider: 2 valves per cylinder, 80 nags, a symbolic output per liter, fins to cool it … But who cares! And that’s good. This machine is pure passion, a sportswoman for the streets of London in the heyday, a revival that takes your guts. In short, an essential motorcycle, which thinks of character before thinking of performance.

But that doesn’t mean she lets go. To keep the price down, it doesn’t qualify for the SE’s carbon wrap. However, in terms of equipment, there is still something to salivate: a superb inverted Ohlins fork with fully Brembo braking and radial calipers, a pair of handlebars-bracelets (a cafe-racer cannot be conceived otherwise), a sport nose screen. , and a striking selection of colors – black & gold, red & gold, yellow & black, and silver, red & black. Close enough to exclusivity, the Norton 961 Commando Cafe Racer will fetch 16,790 euros, the price of …. “Hey oh! I can get a 180 horsepower R1 for that price!”
AH …..! Wait, that’s not how it works. It doesn’t compare and it doesn’t want to compare. The Norton is one of that race of motorcycles that lives differently, beyond time and space. If you are passionate about Norton & vintage, the Cafe Racer is for you; if it’s just for the look, the Triumph Thruxton will offer you the same attitude … for half the price
