Key Details

About This Bike

This 1974 Norton Commando 850 Interstate was imported from the USA after spending around 30 years off the road. It was a one-owner bike from Louisiana with a recorded 7,900 miles and matching engine, frame and gearbox numbers.

Angloclassics refurbished the motorcycle from a neglected state, replacing or overhauling the parts needed to return it to regular road use. The bike was fully rewired with a cloth-type Lucas harness and ran a single Mikuni carburettor with Pazon electronic ignition.

The original Interstate exhaust pipes were retained, paired with peashooter silencers rather than the standard Interstate type.
