Sort By Fits your 2015 Norton Commando 961 Sport. So it entertains the rider, rather than alarming the general public.We press on into the hills and the Commando 961 tingles my fingers, my feet and the antennae-like wing mirrors — if I could afford one, the first thing I would do is ditch those mirrors for bar-end units.Handling duties are managed by Ohlins forks and shocks, so it’s predictable, sharp, precise and firm, but with a compliant ride over the harsh bumps.A perfect, neutral handling bike with light steering and a joy to throw around S-bends.However, I feel a strange disconnect with the bike.Not emotionally, but physically … in the seat of my pants!I soon realise it’s due to the shape and design of the narrow-fronted seat and scalloped tank.The seat is comfortable and fits me well, but my knees are too far forward and underneath the indents on the tank.Consequently my knees are hanging out in the breeze rather than gripping the tank.I move my rear rearward and it feels better, but still a little strange.As we slice through the corners, I tap-dance on the gearshift and find the gears as slick as many Japanese motorcycles.In fact, unless you watch the green neutral light flick off, you wouldn’t know you had selected first gear it is that smooth and quiet.There are only five gears but with hefty midrange torque, you don’t really need to mess around with a lot of cog swapping.In fact, I use only three gears up and down Mt Glorious.Yet you can also short shift and cruise around in top gear even on city roads.The Commando 961 is a bike that will accommodate any style of riding and reward in a responsive and entertaining way.I was a little surprised to find the instruments only included an odometer, one trip, a clock and a volt meter with the toggle button between the two analogue dials, not on a switchblock on the bars.But then, this is supposed to be a neo-classic.Some of the current neo-classics are a little too hi-tech, defeating the whole purpose of getting back into the retro feel.After a delightful romp through the hills we are back at Brisbane Motorcycles and I am still pondering why anyone would pay so much for a fairly basic motorcycle.Yet I’m still wanting one and wondering how I can finance it.There’s no lavish paint, hi-tech wizardry, spec sheet bragging rights or acres of chrome to admire.In fact, the casings are a lightly polished alloy that is already developing an oxidised patina.Then it hits me.
They have not unfortunately produced a new Interstate which was in the day one of if not their best selling model. A cheaper version could easily be made.

To leave it there misses the point. Brembo rear brake master cylinder,Brembo radial hydraulic clutch master cylinder with remote reservoir and Brembo slave cylinder,Norton electronic analogue speedo and tachometer. Air-cooling, fuel-injection and a 270-degree firing order is consistent across the board, but its the displacement that sets them apart.
