The Norton Motorcycle Company, which has played a central role in motorcycle history since its foundation in 1898 and in particular since the introduction of its first motorcycle, the Energette, in 1902, is now celebrating its 125th anniversary. This special event is being celebrated with a spectacular new paint scheme collection for a limited edition of 125 motorcycles.

COMMANDO 961 LE ‘ENERGETTE’ – A tribute to the classic

The Energette, once advertised as the ideal means of transportation for doctors, combined a 142cc single-cylinder Clément engine with a bicycle frame.  The successor to this historic model, the Commando 961 LE ‘Energette’, is presented in a deep shade of yellow with a brown leather saddle, alloy triple clamps, natural aluminum engine, silver headlight and polished Öhlins suspension.  This model is a real collector’s item and combines historic charm with modern technology.

 

COMMANDO 961 LE ‘MANX’ – A tribute to the racing legend

The Manx, successor to the International from the 1950s, was an extremely fast motorcycle and popular due to its low center of gravity and short wheelbase.  The Commando 961 LE ‘Manx’ takes up this tradition with a mixture of silver tank and blackened components, including the engine, footrests and Öhlins suspension.  The addition of carbon fiber elements such as the chain guard and windshield make the bike a modern classic.

 

COMMANDO 961 LE ‘TRANSATLANTIC’ – A tribute to racing successes

Inspired by the success of Norton monocoque racing bikes in the Formula 750, the Commando 961 LE ‘Transatlantic’ reflects Norton’s racing past with its red, white and blue color scheme and 125th anniversary plaque on the seat hump.  This model pays tribute to a motorcycle that was successful despite its flaws.

COMMANDO 961 LE ‘588’ – A tribute to the rotating heritage

The Commando 961 LE ‘588’ is a tribute to the RCW588, a racing bike with a unique, liquid-cooled rotary engine.  This model is characterized by black engine elements, footrests, triple clamps, Öhlins suspension and gold rims, thus combining racing tradition with an exclusive design.

 

V4SV & V4CR ‘588’ – The modern interpretation of the rotary engine

The V4SV and V4CR ‘588’ also feature the livery of the original RCW588, complemented by gold anodized OZ Racing wheels.  These models embody Norton’s enduring connection to the world of rotary engines, linking past and future.

 

With only 125 of these special machines being produced, each of these models is an exclusive piece of motorcycling history.  If you’re interested in owning one of these anniversary models, don’t hesitate to get in touch with Norton.  Which model do you like best?
