Norton 850 Commando

This British creation was equipped with an overhead valve engine and was distributed from 1967 until 1977. Throughout its 10-year production, it was well and widely received around the globe. The Norton 85o Commando won the Motor Cycle News “Machine of the Year” for 5 consecutive years. The inspiration dates back to the 1940s when a twin model was manufactured.

This model was only distributed for one year. It was often compared to the Honda CB200 and was equipped with an exhaust system that was mounted above the gearbox, with its pipes aligned to the left of the bike. It was released when smaller bikes were not necessarily going down well amongst the public and thus, sales did not do well-causing production to halt in the first year.
