1975 Norton 850 Commando Motorcycle - Gas it.

High speed cornering is a critical test of a motorcycle's handling. The Norton 850 Commando corners better than any other production superbike. Why? Norton is the lightest weight superbike built anywhere: 460 pounds, dry. Norton's race-bred frame combines lightness and strength without sacrificing maximum torsional rigidity. Norton's narrow, vertical twin-cylinder engine design lets it sit low in the frame. Result: a super-low center of gravity. All these guided by Norton's dead-accurate steering geometry, add up to "on tracks" cornering that must be felt to be believed. New for 1975 - effortless electric starting, no-fade rear disc brake, conveniently positioned handlebar switches, short-throw left foot shift, hinged, lockable, extra-padded seat.

1975 Norton 850 Commando - lowest lean weight of any production superbike

Lean Weight is what makes a motorcycle want to fall sideways. High lean weight makes the bike heavy in corners, so you have to go slow. Low lean weight lets it be light, responsive, and swift. The Norton 850 Commando has the lowest lean weight of any production superbike.

Lean weight is easy to measure - you can feel it standing still. Straddle any bike, then lean it slowly to the right. You'll find most superbikes start feeling dangerously heavy just after they come off vertical. But you can lean a Norton way over on its side without any fear of dropping it. That's low lean weight, one reason why Norton is the best handling superbike.
