The Norton 961 Series II line of Commando and Dominator motorcycles are the first in the series of new production Norton Motorcycles. Powered by a fairly conventional (for Norton) looking 961cc parallel twin cylinder motor, cooled by the flow of air and oil and fueled by modern EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) and perhaps most importantly spinning a superbly designed counter balancer shaft, this is the motor taking Norton into the modern world, and smoothly at that. All those stories of vintage Nortons with motor vibration capable of breaking fillings loose from your teeth, those are stories for old timers, anyone trying out the newest 961 series of bikes will be rather impressed by the smoothness, not only the power and torque. To keep the look appropriate for the modern classic class of bikes the EFI is well hidden and it takes more than a cursory glance to even spot the lack of old-school carburetors mixing the fuel and air that will propel your ride! The engine uses 270 degree crank pin offset to further smooth vibrations as well as laying down it's prodigious power in a completely tractable manner despite not using modern computerized traction control.2016 HighlightsDRIVEtRAIN 961cc Air/Oil Push rod, hydraulic roller lifter, 2 valves per cylinder 10.1:1 compression ratio 80PS @ 6500rpm (78.9hp) 90Nm @ 5200rpm (66.38ft-lb) Crank fired electronic fuel injection & 2 way catalytic converters.
