The arrival of Norton's new version of its 961 Commando, coinciding with the emergence of the likes of Royal Enfield's Clubman and a raft of specials based on Triumph's Thruxton, has helped create a whole new cult of the Café Racer. We take the Norton Commando 961 Cafe Racer, Ace 904 Thruxton Special, Hyde Harrier Jubilee and Royal Enfield Clubman on a ton-up trip to the coast to find out what they're all about...

  • The Triumph is the one id go for personally, but id want Analog clocks instead of the digital ones.

  • Yeah well I'd go for the Norton because I owned a 650SS back in the '60s and what a bike that was. I guess brand loyalty goes a long way. The new Norton looks very well made as well, except new models always have teething problems.

    Just like in the '60s the Nortons always had that bit more class than the Triumphs in my opinion.

  • i am going to get a hyde harrier for my first big bike it will be a blast

    it reminds me of a classic racing triumph trident for some reason

  • damn this guy he shows no emotion at all fuck him and his attitude...what a fucking loser, who gives a shit,huh :P

  • The analog speedo wrecks the look, apart from that yeh i would have one.

  • my step dad has like 15 nortons in his shed haha.

  • @tribulation138 The majority of Ducatis are air cooled, and they hold up just great.

  • @mantzelrck I feel the same way. I purchased my 1976 T140V Triumph Bonneville on January 10, 1977. Raced her on the streets of Long Island for 10 years and beat every bike she ran and we ran all of them. My Triumph has always been stock. My only mods were to remove the mufflers and seat padding, drag bars with bar end mirrors. She is sitting 10 feet from me now as I type. BTW her excellent handling saved my live many times and I have always said she is going in my coffin with me when I am dead.

  • with these modified bikes. does the engine survive for long term use being only air cooled??

  • hyde harrier all day

  • He says, @1:47, Norton "is all British"... While there's a Brembo/Öhlins picture... :-)

  • I love British bikes, but that was the crappiest review I've ever seen.
