After a lot of attempts to resurrect the Norton motorcycle brand, Norton Motorsports is back in business. Even if it was on the road for nearly 100 years, Norton Motorcycles Limited company closed its doors in the late 1980s, but now it has introduced a new Norton Commando motorcycle, in order to evoke the first bike made in 1967.
