The UK’s revived Norton Motorcycles brand celebrated delivery of its first batch of bikes to Canada in the last week of September. The occasion was marked with a black-tie event hosted by British Consul General Jonathan Dart at his official residence in Toronto.

Specifications for Commando 961 machines destined for the USA were finalised and Garner said production was scheduled to start in October. These will be some of the first units to roll out of Norton’s new Hastings House plant at Donington Park.
