Italeri: 1:9 Norton 750 Commando Model Kit
In 1967, in order to relaunch the sales on a rapidly changed two wheelers
market, the Norton Motorcycle
Company introduced its new motorcycle: the Norton Commando. The Commando adopted
a parallel twincylinder 750cc engine with two valves per cylinder. Compared to
the previous British engines it was
characterized by the higher displacement and the tilted forward cylinders. The
use of the Isolastic antivibration system provided and impressive increase of
the riding comfort. The Norton Commando, replaced the outdated Atlas, and
obtained immediately a very good commercial success. It became very popular and
well-known all over the World. In the United Kingdom it won the Motor Cycle News
“Machine of the Year” award for five successive years from 1968 to
1972. Particularly appreciated the modern and innovative shape, for those time,
as the design of fuel tank, handlebar and back cover.
