Norton Commando Mk 1/2 1969-71, 750cc, ohv twin, 400lb, 50mpg, 120mph. Tuned Atlas engine was fitted into a frame with Isolastic mountings. A novel idea to overcome the vibration which had been used by cars for many years.

1969 norton commando s, 750cc
the 's' type was introduced at the same time as the 'r' and made its debut in march 1969. the styling is of a type more to american tastes than traditional british with the fitting of high bars, not a very large petrol tank, ungaitered forks, and a high exhaust system with both pipes on the left hand side of the machine. a shield was a necessary fitment over the pipes for the protection of riders. the exhaust line being a little shorter than that of the fastback, gave the 's' type slightly different power characteristics. other distinguishing features are a quilted finish to the dual seat and a chromed 'crash bar' around a smaller styled headlamp. the 's' type was also the first commando to have the points driven directly from the end of the camshaft and hence the rev counter drive, which used to be in that position on the twins, moved around towards the front of the engine. the 's' type was the basis for the roadster model which was virtually identical except for a low level exhaust. the inoa tech digest states that the 's' types fell within the range of engine nos. from 131257 to 135088. some sources cite a factory release suggesting that dealers replace the 's' type exhausts with the more commonly found atlas ones used on the early commandos.

Norton Commando Hi-Rider
This is an interesting and somewhat different example of the Commando range. Most of these have been converted to more conservative models making this genuine Hi-Rider a particularly rare it is extremely evocative of the Easy Rider period!

1972 norton commando 750 roadster
the roadster was introduced for the 1970 season and followed the 's' type of the previous year and the fastback before that. it took its styling from the 's' type but with a conventional exhaust system and together with the fastback became the mainstay of the range. in 1971, a mk.ll was announced, this having larger section tyres and a cush drive in the rear hub. in 1972, modified crankcase castings were used, and a disc front brake was fitted. this was the same year in which the ill fated combat engine made its appearance. the short working life of this engine, usually resulting in the total destruction of the main bearings, and the solution to the problem are well documented in the literature and the problem was overcome by the time the 1974 machines came along. the 1973 roadsters were fitted with the newly introduced 828cc engine and in 1975, there were major changes including electric start, vernier isolastic adjustment, left side gearchange, and a rear disc brake.
