Only 125 units of three of Norton’s bikes will be offered, in exclusive colours to celebrate the TVS-owned brand’s
125th anniversary.
What’s New?
Six new 125th anniversary edition bikes are being launched by Norton, all with the same technical specifications as the base models, but with dedicated liveries inspired by past motorcycling successes.
The inspiration for the new anniversary edition models is derived from the 1902 Norton Energette, 1937-62 Norton Manx, 1972 Norton Formula 750 Works Racer, and late 80s to early 90s Norton NRS588
rotary racer.

The Commando 961 will be the only bike available in the Energette limited edition colour, with a deep yellow paint, brown leather saddle, alloy yokes, natural alloy engine, silver headlight, polished alloy handlebars and polished Ohlins suspension.
Energette Limited Edition Colour
The Commando 961 LE ‘Transatlantic’ scheme is based on the Formula 750 Works Racer, with a red, white and blue colour scheme across the petrol tank, airbox, seat unit and seat cowl that pays homage to the 1972 season in which the bike was victorious in the British 750cc Championship, the F750 Isle of Man TT, and the Transatlantic Trophy.

588 Livery
The Commando 961 LE, V4SV and V4CR all get the ‘588’ treatment, taking cues from the livery of the rotary race bikes. The ‘588’ channels this racing attitude with black cycle components, a colour-matched seat cowl also wears a commemorative 125th-anniversary crest bearing the Limited-Edition logo.
