  • WOW! I'm amazed at what a debate this vid has started about how to start a Norton! Okay, I accept that some of this is meant as helpful advice, but there are a fair few nerds out there as well! My Brother doesn't make a habit of starting a bike on a side stand, that was simply to give me a better shot of the bike that day. As for his foot remaining on the kick start, that was more a consequence of him starting it on the side stand for my benefit. So Nerds, you can all sleep easy now! enjoy!

  • I noticede he wasn't wearing a helmet. If he doesn't wear a helmet the kick start lever could fly off and hit him in the head immediatly.

  • I noticede he had the kick start lever still down with his foot when the bike started, !

    If the engine had stalled because of cold start, and It kicked back, He would have felt a Nasty shock up his leg,(Kick back), Better to Imediatly take foot of start lever as quick as possible,, Or Possibly end up with Dead leg..!!

  • @rolesvill no sir , they do

  • no sir, they do not.

  • Good NIGHT mate! Don't you know how to kick a bike? Tickle, choke and KICK!

  • This 750 was the good one, the 850 was a sleeping pill.

    But with the original tires you couldnt drive straight ahead on streets.

    love the hard sound, would like to have one again as old man now.

  • Such a sexy sound.

  • Put your back into it!

    

  • I had four Commandos and despite only being 5 ft 5 inches, I could start them easily. Never on the centre stand or side stand, that would break them. Sold each one to buy the next, and wish I still had them all now.

  • A beautiful sounding bike! Would love to own one of these babies someday.

  • @Zircemerald You HAVE to be angry,when you gonna ride a Norton. :-)) LOL!

  • No problem's with the non combat type engine?

    dont rev it too much and youlll be fine.

    nice bike though.
