A new era has begun for Norton Motorcycles. The 961/SS Commando is the first new Norton model to be launched from the all new Commando Platform. This platform is the basis for multiple models in the coming years, including the Commando, Commando ‘S', Dominator, and Atlas. Each new model will draw inspiration from the past and build on the Norton legacy for the future.

Future development will also lead to the introduction of the all new, state-of-the-art, Manx Platform. These completely modern motorcycles, including Manx and Interstate, will represent the ultimate expression of the Norton brand.

...just a shame its made stateside

[Scrapyard]

Is it actually in production yet? Last I heard they were still looking for financial backing to build up to production. That was about 2 years ago if I remember.

Beautiful bike though. Saw it at a couple shows. Quality looks tops.
