2023 Norton Commando 961 SP ride and review video 

@@ducatobeing yes I think so about the nose fairing but I had a lot of people disagree with me! It is on the pricey side but you are getting a lot of bike for your money 🤩

ahh thank you, I really appreciate you saying that 😊

Ahh thank you 😊 Yes, I totally get this bike, it's so full of character and so interesting and fun to ride, really sad now that it has gone back 😭

Hi Kaz, I'm new to the channel. I bought the CR version about 2 months ago. Not had it out much as the weather has been pants. Roll on summer I say. You think it's loud ? Try one with the de-cat link pipe ❤

@@bikefever3569 nice to have you check out my channel ☺️ the decat definitely needs checking out, would make it sound even more awesome 🤩

I really like it too Nick, such a lovely bike to both ride and look at 😎

I absolutely love it, sounds and rides beautifully, weirdly the 76bhp is enough though 😜

Thank you, I appreciate you saying that 😁 good to hear you liked the bike too, it is very beautiful 😍

Very nice too Sean, I can see why it’s a keeper 😍

Yep, I have a ST1200 Darren and absolutely love mine but the Commando is a completely different bike, I would have the commando as well as not instead of my ST - oh and a lottery win to be able to do that 🤣

@@BikerKazZ Yes Kaz, as a second bike for high days and holidays a Norton in the garage would be nice. I have paired my bikes down to just one now, as I could not be bothered with the hassle and stress of looking after multiple machines. Unfortunately I do not think the 961 would suit as a single option. Uncertainty over quality/spares etc and not having trust in Norton themselves. It was the thought of buying a white elephant that ultimately put me off.

@@darrenhall6509 I can understand that, people need to get confidence back into the brand

@@darrenhall6509 +1 only time will tell if these bikes are any good and whether Norton will actually still exist.

Ahh thank you Brian, I appreciate you saying that 😊

I really wish I could make that next video 🤩

Hey Gary, I would love to own a 961 too, there’s definitely something about this bike that appeals to me, it has an abundance of character and I prefer riding the 961 to the Z900RS. I don’t think I could go touring on the Norton though but great for ride outs 😎 keep me posted if you do get one, I’d be interested to hear what you think of the Norton too 🏍️

@@BikerKazZ Thanks for getting back to me. I’ll certainly be in touch if I do decide to spend a bit of my retirement money. ☺️

I think so too Giles, such a character of a bike to ride 😎

I think it’s very nice too Ozzy, sounds and looks beautiful 😍

Thank you Rod, I really appreciate you saying that 😊

@@BikerKazZ No problem, we love our bikes don’t we 🙂 funnily enough I put a new video up this morning on my latest restoration

@@mcmechanic864 excellent Rod, I’ll head over to check it out 👍

👍🙂

It does sound good at idle, you can hear it when I start the bike up on the video, very nice 👌

Thank you Annabel, I appreciate you saying that ☺️ I’m 5’6”

I agree, the sounds of these bikes are what endears us to them 😍

Ahh thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to watch my review 🤩

Yes, I kind of agree about the 78 bhp but it does actually suit the bike when you’re riding it if that makes sense! but I wouldn’t turn down more bhp if it was on offer 😜

Hi, it’s £17k

It all adds to the character of the bike 😎

Hi 👋 torque is 65 lb⋅ft (88 N⋅m) @ 5200 rpm and the price is £17k

Fair enough, it's not for everyone 😂
