購入者が知っておくべきこと
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.

"美しく、欠陥があり、こだわるだけの価値があります。"
961は、スケルトン全体を通して感じられるクラシックなパラレルツインの衝撃とともに、3,500 rpmから激しく引っ張ります。現代のバイクにはない真の中毒性があります。しかし、ノートンのドニントンパークの小さなチームと電話で話す時間は、乗ったときと同じくらいの時間を費やしました。初期の燃料噴射マッピングは荒く、電気設備は手作りのコテージ業界のもので、私のスポーツは4,000マイルでオイルウィープが発生し、仕分けに6週間かかりました。うまく走ると、シャーシ（両端にオーリンが付いた溶接鋼のバックボーン）は、レトロな外観が示すよりもシャープになり、特にカフェレーサーのバリエーションは意図的にハンドリングします。イギリス産業の復活の一端に賛同することになり、そのロマンスは信頼性とディーラーのサポートを犠牲にします。

中古購入者レビュー
"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.
