The Norton Commando "S" type was my dream bike in the early 1970's. Charles Deane did a road test in The December '69 edition of Motorcycle Mechanics in the UK.

I bought one out of the crate back in the day. Also out ran a trooper once in my younger days. Miss that machine.

I think the original video stated it wrong and u show both apples are the same I got a re 650 continental. I don’t race my bike it hasn’t even been a year ,6500 miles daily driver to work an my tires are measured 3/32 left manual said replace if less than 2/32 it’s noticeable. Maybe it’s possible they’re shipping some of them with a cheap brand tire to save money. These are not Perrelli . The ceat zoom cruz . Strange, it’s possible the dealership hijacked my original tires and put these on. I’m going to try the perreli demon cruiser hopefully they last longer.

115 or 150 hp ?

Guzzi! ❤ The Italians can do it their way. If you want something everyone has, there are other, basic, brands.

quick question? do you know the size limit of both tyres if i use a Shinko Motorcycle Tires Dual Sport E804 on a gt 650 on the back and front?

I have this exact model . After 6 months and 17000klm and zero problems I am still in love .

4 is plenty

Lovely bike, i love that colour too!

Absolutely beautiful bikes. I'm taken by the classic Special, but then think the matte finish of the Stone is cool and then the Stone Special kinda grabs me with that beautiful paint job.. ahhhh decisions....Yeh... the Special.. ✌

It's a good family bike. Would book one very soon.

I wonder what it sold for?

Nice but still doesn't sound as good as my V7III with its Agostini mufflers.

Qual seria o peneu companheiro?

does this guy ever STFU?

Have to double check all bolts before you ride the vibrator xs650

Nice a job on the touring model. I like the anniversary one. Would love to have a Griso.

After 1972 the Honda CB750's drop in horsepower made it disappointing. Went from 72hp to 55hp. Just like cars became disappointing so motorcycles.

In Australia here. I have one in green. 1973 purchase. 62,000 KM's (38,000 original miles). Only had a new cam chain and tensioner replaced. Only ridden in dry fine conditions and yearly serviced for 51 years. Still has dry compression on all 4 cylinders @ 155PSI (New factory 170PSI) Most of these are lucky to exceed 100PSI.

Sure bring back memories, i had a 1972 Norton Combat and wish i still had it even though it took some work to keep it running smooth over time .

I have a gt250 Clubman, witch I restored from the tyres up. Brilliant wee bike, goes like stink and handles beautifully.

yup! every time I stopped for gas I had to let it cool down or it wouldn't fire up. owned two.

That is a stunning looking bike. I want one!

Thanks for the video. Are the bar risers available from Moto Guzzi? How about saddle bags as well? Thanks Joe. I have a 2020 blacked out Stone that I love.

My 79 750F has 65k on the clock, with more to come once I replace the countershaft seal. Other motorcycles are manufactured...Hondas are engineered!

Such a beautiful bike!

Is it still for sale and how much

kzbin.info/www/bejne/baDIZZuDYsSEqrM got one ;) love it

Beautiful! Love the blue and white combo

this colour 🤌🔥❤️

American cruiser? Do you know BSA, Triumph, Vincent, Norton, Ural, Cezka, DKW, .... ? Nothing "American" about the Meteor.

Nice camera......finally someone shoot drill green properly in daylight

That's a real motorcycle. Great video and channel.

I was a senior in high school when the CB-750 came out, and it was a seismic shift in the motorcycle world. If you were not around when it came out, I can assure you that it was immediately obvious that the motorcycle industry was at major turning point. You were either going to have to come out with a four cylinder bike, or you would be out of business. Triumph thought it could get by with the Trident triple, but as history shown, it was a bad gamble. Even after all of these years, the CB-750 is still a great motorcycle that I would prefer to have over most new over-styled sportbikes.

A bitsa there! The closer you look the worse it gets.

I've got the chromed out 20th anniversary V7 III racer. LOVE IT!

It was awesome meeting you this weekend, thanks for such a friendly welcome and showing me around and the test ride. Ken fired this up, sounds awesome!

There should be a spring tensioned thumb screw under the throttle that is used to put friction on the throttle grip. If you loosen that thumb screw the throttle should return on its own.

I love the classic but they need to design the spoke wheels so you don’t need a tube

Why do people always state their height. Height is irrelevant. It's all about the inseam. You can be 6-1 with short legs.

How long should you idle for the ECU to adapt to the exhaust system?

Vibration? The Commandos predecesor was the Atlas , one of the biggest shakers of all time. The isolastic engine mounts help a lot.

Super helpful, especially before stopping by the shop to get my barings a bit as i find it a lot to take in and overwhelming while standing in a shop.

Problem with US its been driven into people's head that you have to have 100+ hp. I've watched guys in England touring these 350s 1000s of miles

But no emergency flashers.

Loved the looks of my one, shame about the gutless engine, very hard pressed above 60 mph.

Geezus I’m 10+ minutes in and still nothing about how it rides, what its low rpm torque is like,etc.

Buckhorn Bars.

The choke should be on if its cold.

This era Sportster is the best looking of all. The full narrow glide front fender should have never ended.
