DIVE INTO NORTON'S 125 YEARS OF MOTORCYCLE MAGIC WITH MESMERIZING ANNIVERSARY COLORS

Embark on a thrilling journey through time as Norton, the iconic motorcycle manufacturer, unveils a spectacular collection of anniversary colors to mark its 125th year in the roaring world of motorcycles in 2023.

Picture this: Six brand-new, jaw-dropping anniversary edition bikes ready to hit the road and capture hearts. Meet the distinguished Norton V4SV, V4CR, and Norton Commando 961, each boasting the same powerhouse under the hood but flaunting a unique visual tribute to Norton's rich history.

The inspiration behind these showstoppers comes from four legendary Norton bikes of the past: the Energette, Manx, Formula 750 Works Racer, and NRS588.

Let's take a ride down memory lane. Norton, originally a motorcycle parts company in 1898, took its first bold step into motorcycle manufacturing with the Energette in 1902. A 142cc engine married to a bicycle frame, marketed as the "go-to" for doctors, set the stage for Norton's two-wheeled legacy.

Now, fast forward to the present, where the Commando 961 steals the spotlight in the Energette limited edition color. Imagine a deep yellow masterpiece, adorned with a brown leather saddle, alloy yokes, and a silver headlight. The polished alloy handlebars and Ohlins suspension add a touch of elegance. The seat cowl, color-matched and boasting a 125-year anniversary crest, is a true work of art.

But wait, there's more! The Manx edition, available exclusively for the Commando 961, boasts a sleek black body and frame, complemented by a silver tank. The engine, footrests, yokes, and Ohlins suspension are all dipped in black, with carbon accents on the chainguard and screen. The Limited Edition logo graces the seat cowl, completing the ensemble.

Now, brace yourself for the 'Transatlantic' scheme inspired by the Formula 750 Works Racer. The Commando 961 takes center stage with a patriotic red, white, and blue color palette, paying homage to the 1972 season's triumphs. A blacked-out engine, footrests, and yokes add an extra edge to the vibrant bodywork.

And let's not forget the '588' paint, a nod to the rotary race bikes of the late '80s and early '90s, featured on the Commando 961, V4SV, and V4CR. With blacked-out engines, footrests, yokes, and gold rims, these editions scream sophistication. The Commando 961, once again, gets the royal treatment with a matching seat cowl and the 125th anniversary crest.

Feast your eyes on these masterpieces: The Commando 961 125th anniversary edition variants are priced at £18,999, while the '588' versions of the V4CR and V4SV are priced at £49,999 and £51,999, respectively.
