Norton’s 961 Commando SE broke a land speed record at the Bonneville Salt Falts, Utah, USA, yesterday (Monday) by recording an average top speed of 129.191mph.
The bike, officially entered by Norton into the annual BUB Motorcycle Speed Trials was ridden by Alan Cathcart and claimed the record for the 1000cc Production Push-rod class. The previous record was set last year on a Buell reaching 126.398mph.
Cathcart said: “It’s nice to put Norton back in the record books for the first time in so many years. The fact we did it on a box stock bike exactly as delivered to any Norton customer makes it all the sweeter”.
