My 1969 Norton 750 Commando S Photo Gallery by Corey Levenson at pbase.com

My 1969 Norton 750 Commando S

The first bike I ever owned was a 1970 metalflake blue Norton 750 Commando S bought when I was still in high school in 1971. I sold that one and bought another 1970 750 Commando S when I was in grad school in San Francisco back in 1977. I kept that one until my house burned down in 1991 (the Norton was in the garage at the time). This is my third Commando S. I guess I have a soft spot for those bikes.

Great pics Corey , I just got a '70 Commando S just like yours . Great condition , 6,000 original miles . Can't wait to ride it as it will probably leave my BSA 650 Lightning in the dust .

I have just purchased a yellow 1969 750 S. I have the history and know it initially went to Berliner in NY. It then went back to the UK and is now in Italy. I wanted to know if anyone knows how many of the S model were actually produced? Thanks

I owned a Norton 750 Commando S model, sparkle blue and it was a fun bike. I would love to get another one someday. Stu Warner

Nice bike, I had one just like it in 1969.

Corey, I just finished a Fireflake Blue 69/70 S restoration late October 2010. I hope to have it on the road in the spring of 11, it's ready. Pretty much in standard configuration with some gasket, crank and seal improvements. You can see it on the Norton forum at accessnorton.com. Search for Phoenix. Dave in Hume VA.

Always my favorite superbike of its era! Never owned one but two of my friends had the downswept-pipe versions in blue metalflake. Great sound and fast! Eastwood should always be on a big Harley; he makes the Norton S look like a minibike!

Raced Nortons, had a nice original red S-Model I raced and won with. Later had a '70 Roadster which was the same as the S except for the pipes - put S pipes on that one, and it became my 'Silver S', won with that one too. Had a '68 Dunstall, '71 Dunstall 810, and a '73 850. All the Commandos gone now, but still have a 1963 Manx Model 30 (500).
