Win a 2011 Norton Commando 961 Sport – Hand-Built British Café Racer
Here’s your chance to win a truly special piece of modern British motorcycling – a 2011 Norton Commando 961 Sport, finished in a stunning silver, black and red pinstriped colour scheme and loaded with premium components.
The Commando name is one of the most recognisable in British motorcycling, and the 961 was created as a modern interpretation of the legendary Norton café racer. Rather than simply copying the past, Norton combined classic proportions, an air/oil-cooled parallel-twin engine and traditional spoked wheels with serious modern hardware.
And this particular example looks absolutely spectacular.
From the polished engine cases and beautifully sculpted Norton fuel tank to the Öhlins suspension, Brembo braking system, carbon-fibre front mudguard and polished spoked wheels, there are details everywhere you look. The exposed frame, twin analogue clocks and compact café-racer tail give it the unmistakable appearance of a hand-built British special.
At its heart is Norton's muscular 961cc parallel-twin, an engine designed to deliver the sort of torque, sound and mechanical character that makes a bike like this feel completely different from a modern mass-produced sports bike.
This isn't simply a motorcycle to park in the garage and admire – although you'll probably spend plenty of time doing exactly that. It's a proper modern Norton with an enormous amount of presence.

A Norton you don't see every day
This is exactly the sort of motorcycle that gets attention before you've even started it. The Commando's long tank, short tail, exposed parallel twin and beautifully detailed chassis give it proportions that are instantly recognisable as Norton.
Look closer and it gets even better. Öhlins suspension and Brembo brakes aren't cosmetic additions – they're the sort of premium components normally associated with serious performance machinery. Combine those with the carbon front mudguard, polished rims, exposed stainless exhaust and beautifully finished engine and you have a bike that looks special from virtually every angle.
There's also something refreshingly analogue about it. No huge TFT screen dominating the cockpit and no acres of plastic bodywork – just two clocks, an engine, a frame and some seriously good components.
Could this be sitting in your garage?
Modern motorcycles offering this combination of British heritage, rarity, café-racer styling and premium engineering don't come along very often – and winning one is an entirely different proposition.
Whether you're a Norton enthusiast, a collector of unusual motorcycles or simply want something completely different from the bikes you normally see at your local meet, this Commando 961 Sport deserves a place in the garage.
Imagine getting the winning call and finding out this Norton is yours.
Get your tickets in, choose your numbers and you could soon be looking down at that famous Norton badge from the rider's seat rather than through a screen.
