Apa yang Harus Diketahui Pembeli
Isolastic Frame System
The 961 uses Norton's signature Isolastic rubber-mounting system to isolate the engine from the frame, dramatically reducing vibration. This unique engineering keeps rider fatigue low on long rides and is a core part of the Commando's identity.
Watch for Early Build Issues
Early production models (2010–2013) had documented quality control problems including oil leaks, electrical gremlins, and inconsistent assembly from the revived Norton factory. Always verify the bike has had issues addressed and request full service history.
Strong Collector Resale Value
As a low-volume, hand-built British motorcycle, the 961 holds its value exceptionally well and is increasingly viewed as a future collectible. Limited production numbers and brand heritage make well-maintained examples appreciate rather than depreciate.

"Cantik, cacat, dan benar-benar sepadan dengan obsesi."
961 menarik dengan keras dari 3.500 rpm dengan benturan kembar paralel klasik yang dapat Anda rasakan di seluruh kerangka Anda — ini benar-benar membuat ketagihan dengan cara yang tidak dilakukan oleh sepeda modern. Tapi saya menghabiskan banyak waktu di telepon dengan tim kecil Norton Donington Park seperti halnya saya mengendarai benda itu; pemetaan injeksi bahan bakar awal sangat kasar, listrik adalah barang-barang industri pondok buatan tangan, dan Sport saya mengembangkan tangisan minyak pada ketinggian 4.000 mil yang membutuhkan waktu enam minggu untuk disortir. Ketika berjalan dengan benar, sasis — tulang punggung baja yang dilas dengan Öhlins di kedua ujungnya — lebih tajam dari tampilan retro, dan varian Cafe Racer khususnya menangani dengan maksud nyata. Anda membeli sepotong kebangkitan industri Inggris, dan romansa itu membuat Anda kehilangan keandalan dan dukungan dealer.

Ulasan Pembeli Bekas
"Magnificent when sorted, but budget for inevitable remedial work upfront."
$12,000-$18,000 usedThe 961 is genuinely special — a hand-built British twin that sounds and feels unlike anything Japanese or European money can buy. That parallel twin burbles and snorts in ways that make you grin at every set of traffic lights. But go in with your eyes wide open: Norton's production quality during the Donington era was inconsistent at best. You'll find bikes with oil leaks, electrical gremlins, and parts that simply weren't finished to the standard the price tag demanded. Always get a full service history and budget another grand for remedial work regardless. That said, when one's sorted and running right, it's an experience. The handling is taut and old-school rewarding, the brakes are decent, and the riding position suits longer legs. Resale values have actually held surprisingly well given the brand drama. Buy from a specialist, not a general dealer — someone who actually knows these bikes. Insist on a pre-purchase inspection from a Norton-familiar mechanic. It'll save you considerable heartache.
