Norton motorcycles are back in Japan after more than 30 years and it looks like they've been working really hard during the last 18 months to make everything right.
Given the well-known passion of Japanese riders and customizers for retro bikes, we can hope the new Norton machines will sell quite well in Japan. All three Commando 961 models are in dealerships across the country: the 961 SF, 961 Cafe Racer and the 961 Sport.
Norton CEO Stuart Garner and head of International Sales Joe Adams were at the British Embassy in Tokyo together with Richard Buttery, the First Secretary Head of Trade at UK Trade and Investment, Matthew Matsumoto-Prouten, MBE Second Secretary, and the local dealer representatives to officially launch the new Commando 961 line.
Great to hear Norton is back with strong attitude!
