Overview

The 2018 Norton Commando 961 cafe racer has been launched in India at a price of Rs. 23 lakhs (ex-showroom, Pune). The iconic British brand enters India via the CBU route for now and plans to commence local operations by 2018-end. Currently, there is only one unit of the Commando 961 available in the country and it is finished in silver paint. However, more units will be imported if orders are placed.

Design and Features

The Commando 961 Cafe Racer is inspired by classic British motorcycles featuring a round headlamp upfront, a tiny flyscreen, curved rear section and sculpted fuel tank with comforting leg recesses. For a sporty riding position, the bike gets aluminium clip-on handlebars. The flyscreen and the mudguard get carbon fibre treatment which adds to its looks.
