노턴 코만도 961은 영국에서 새롭게 개조된 노턴 모터사이클이 생산한 상징적인 노턴 코만도 이름을 되살려 2010년에 출시되었습니다.현대적인 961cc 엔진으로 클래식한 패러렐-트윈 레이아웃을 발전시켰고, 레트로 브리티시 스타일과 현대 엔지니어링이 조화를 이루었습니다.Sport 모델은 Cafe Racer 형제에 비해 더 공격적인 자세와 튜닝을 제공했기 때문에 영국 모터사이클 제조업체로서 노턴이 야심차게 거듭났음을 상징하는 모델로도 유명합니다.

구매자가 알아야 할 사항
Watch the Oil Leaks
Early 961 models are notorious for oil leaks around the rocker covers and primary chain case. Always inspect these areas carefully before buying, as repairs can be costly given the limited dealer network.
Strong Resale Value
As a low-volume British hand-built motorcycle, the 961 holds its value exceptionally well and is considered a modern collectible. Limited production numbers keep demand high among enthusiasts and collectors.
Unique Isolastic Frame
The 961 revives Norton's iconic Isolastic rubber-mounted engine system, which reduces vibration from the parallel-twin while preserving the classic riding feel. This makes it unusually smooth for a traditional British twin.

중고 구매자 리뷰
"Buy one with full history or walk away completely."
$9,500-$16,000 usedThe 961 Sport is genuinely one of the most emotionally compelling motorcycles you'll ever throw a leg over. That parallel twin sounds absolutely magnificent at idle and pulls cleanly through the midrange with a character modern bikes simply can't fake. Build quality from the Donington Park era is surprisingly solid when properly maintained, but that's the catch — maintenance history is everything here. Walk away from any 961 with patchy service records or evidence of DIY electrics. Spend serious time checking the fuel injection mapping, cam chain tensioners, and whether the previous owner fitted the updated clutch components. Early examples had some wet clutch gremlins that Norton addressed, but not every bike received the fix. Parts availability has improved since the ownership changes, but you're still not picking these up from your local dealer Tuesday morning. Budget a contingency fund. Ride one back-to-back with a Triumph Thruxton R and you'll understand exactly why people accept the compromises. The Norton feels handbuilt in a way that actually matters.
