DESCRIPTION:
CokeMN said Good info and a good read. For someone who has to take up reading as well as riding . With snow on the ground now have read it again . Fast service and good price with a lot of information in the book .. Norton Commando: more of a monograph mark bayer Mr. Vales book was filled with good information and had a great deal of information regarding the progressive development of the Commando. I was hoping for more information about Associated Motorcycles corp. but the typical several paragraphs was given. Good book, plenty of information, honest dialogue, what else could an enthusiast expect.
About the AuthorMatthew Vale started his motorcycling career at the tender age of 16 with an NSU moped, and has restored many classic British motorbikes. He now owns a 1970 Triumph Bonneville and a 1965 BSA Lightning, and is restoring a 1969 Lotus Elan Plus 2S, This is his eleventh book; all his previous books have featured classic British motorbikes or cars.
The Commando was the main bike in Norton's range from 1968, and was produced until the demise of Norton Villers Triumph in 1977. The bike featured the unique 'Isolastic' system that rubber-mounted the engine and protected the rider from the twin-cylinder's vibrations. Commandos feature strongly in today's classic scene, and offer excellent performance and spares availability, as well as a vast range of improvements and updated components. The model range provided the rider with a choice of touring and sporting models, as well as offering special police machines and off-the-shelf production racers. In addition there is a blow-by-blow account of the author's restoration of a 1971 750cc model that had been re-imported into the UK from America needing a complete rebuild.. This book looks at the history and development of the Commando, gives the specifications and outlines the model changes, and also offers the riding experiences of past and present owners
