The first Commandos were the superbike of the day and were probably not the best choice for a beginning rider! I have had my personal 74 model 850 commando since nearly new. I have only done about 45,000 miles on it but it has proven impecably reliable. I have ridden it hard, but I never thrash it, think thats the secret - bit like a Luger , use it but don't abuse it.

I really liked the 750 Norton. I was able to get a parts Matchless N15 (rebadged Norton Scrambler) and convert mine to Scrambler...then I sold it & bought a basket case Triumph Bonneville and rode that for 12 years... All my BritBikes had (or were converted to) magneto ignition; that cured any ignition problems... |
