Norton Motorcycles has finally despatched an initial shipment of Commando 961 products to the USA. This batch of bikes — the first US presence for the brand in more than 30 years — left Norton’s Donington factory on 23 October.
The machines are destined for the nine US dealers who have signed up for the reborn British franchise to date. Three of them are located in California. The rest are single representatives in Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey, New York State, Texas and Washington.
