NYC Norton specializes in, and loves to do, “stock” restorations. These rebuilds are a significant part of our daily business, with many beautiful bikes heading back to their owners looking spiffy and sporty, yet never getting the full portfolio treatment on our site. A stock Norton Commando is a beautiful bike, and that’s no accident – Norton knew what they were doing. Sometimes we need a bit of ginger to cleanse our palate and get back to basics.

This ’71 Commando came to us needing lots of love inside and out. Its owner set few parameters for its rebuild other than a simple request; return the bike aesthetically close to how it looked on the AMC factory floor, but make it run better than new. Yes indeed! Our kind of job.

What rolled off our lift is a very usable, rideable, comfortable, reliable British Classic Norton Commando Roadster 750cc, just as the Queen intended.
It is refreshing to see such a tidy, clean example of Norton’s classic Commando in its factory trim.
