125 LIMITED EDITION MOTORCYCLE
Since 1898, at Norton we have strived to be the best we can be. We have taken risks – some we’ve won, others we haven’t – but we would not be where we are if we had not tried. After all, you don’t win eight World Championships, 94 TTs and countless Bike of the Year accolades without pushing the boundaries. To celebrate our 125th anniversary, we are creating a range of Limited Editions that take inspiration from iconic models throughout the years: the Energette, Manx, the Formula 750 Works Racer and the NRS588.
There are six Limited Editions based on the Commando 961 SP, Commando 961 CR, V4SV and V4CR, with a production run of just 125 models across the entire collection.
Boasting a 588cc liquid-cooled twin-rotor Wankel engine, the Norton F1 was the road-legal version of the dominating 588cc rotary powered racing motorcycles. Taking countless wins across British road racing, the RC588, RCW588 and NRS588 were victorious across both British Superbikes and the Isle of Man TT in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Based on the Commando 961, the Commando 961 LE ‘588’ takes cues from the livery of the rotary race bikes. The ‘588’ channels this racing attitude with a black engine, black footrests, black yokes, black Öhlins suspension, carbon fibre chainguard, carbon fibre flyscreen and iconic gold rims. The colour matched seat cowl also wears a commemorative 125-year anniversary crest, bearing the Limited Edition logo.
