Norton Commander

Spotted in the car park in Builth early last week, a beautiful, 35 year old, Norton Commander. Looked good, sounded amazing. They don't make them like that any more.

Molly, I think you mean the Norton Commando. The Commander was made a bit later than this 1988-92 and had a 588 cc Wankel rotary engine. :scooter

And according to Wikipedia only 253 were ever made, but the Commando is alive and kicking , I gotta get myself one.

Thank you for that, that answers several questions! It was a very handsome bike, if only I was longer legged!
