1972 Norton Commando 750 - Rideability





...What do we really mean by Commando rideability? Ask a skilled Norton rider and he will speak of electrifying acceleration, big power right from the start, a turbine smooth ride and ultra powerful disc braking. All great features, but not unique among superbikes. It is the rest of what he says that gives the Commando that certain charisma and puts it in a class apart.

That slim feel between the legs, that low weight, that racebred steering and road-holding possessed only by the Norton. In short, rideability gives him the confidence to experience his skills to their full potential. No real rider should accept less.

1984 Norton Mystique Article: Among The Believers

...you will see Norton fellows gathered at the fringe of a Sunday biker's crowd, exchanging conjecture and divinations into the heart of the Norton mystique. This mystique is powerful enough to make these connoisseurs organize with something like 3000 paid up members...

1984 Among the Believers - Norton Mystique 8-Page Article available at www.DadsVintageAds.com










Captions:

There was a time when my garage held a Norton Commando 750. When the economy said "Sell," it was with a heavy heart that I sold it off to Bob the Plumber. Then I turned to the future with Satchel Paige's dictum on my sleeve: "Don't look back. something may be gaining on you."

A Seeley-framed Special is about as modern as Nortons get. But do they get any more handsome than the 1946 Garden Gate plunger-frame Manx? The Dunstall name was a Norton speed image for more than a decade.

Norton appearances are unconfused. Twins, like the Commando, are unmistakably so. The 1946 Model 18 declares "single." Rally fun-and-games include the beverage-can toss and egg-carry.

Take your pick of hardware for the slow race. You could try an ES2 with chair or a solo ES2. Select interlopers can be tolerated on Norton rides.
