As part of ongoing service training and dealer feedback our German dealer network visited the factory this week. Tommy Wagner Head of Norton Germany brought the German dealer network together for the week long factory trip. It’s been a great way for dealers and the factory to build a strong relationship which focused on ensuring Norton give the very best service to our owners/riders..

Following the successful launch at the British Embassy in Tokyo earlier this year Norton can announce today the first 961 Commando shipment to Japan. After an absence of some 30 years Norton are back in Japan partnering PCI Limited with a multi year exclusive distribution agreement.

We are delighted to announce that Norton Motorcycles are heading down under. We are working closely with a Fraser Motorcycles Group Company to homologate and distribute our Norton 961 Commando range throughout Australia and New Zealand.

The very first batch of bikes are exported today. Peter Howes, President of Norton Canada is here at the factory sending the bikes on their way. Norton are back in Canada after some 30 years… Further new territories opening in coming weeks, fantastic to be getting these hand built British bikes exported around the world.

After the race team had a hectic time at the TT races, the factory kept busy throughout. The whole team were flat out hand building 961 Commando bikes. Pictured is a real eye catcher, a stunning 961 Cafe Racer in Yellow with hand polished engine cases and you can just make out the Carbon fibre Rear Hugger.
