2012 Cafe Race photos

Postby jenny5 » Thu Jan 26, 2012 7:29 am

Where can I see photos of the four colors this bike is supposed to be available in?,-yellow, silver, red, black?
Husband and I saw it at the MCY Show at Jacob Javits Canter. He loved it but was uncomfortable with the low handle bar position (we're old and have creaky parts). He was doubltful there could be any customizing of the bars. Has anyone seen it? Any ideas about this?
Thank you

What about the 961 Sport, that has higher bars? http://www.nortonmotorcycles.com/bikes/

Right...I think he's more into the style of the Cafe Racer. Can you refer me to a link of the SE? Thanks

I have a Commando 961 Sport and it looks just the same as the Cafe Racer(including the flyscreen) but it is a lot more comfortable as it doesn't have the low bars! It is much nicer to ride than my 1975 Mk3 Commando, I would definately recommend the 961 as long as you don't mind the wait! As well as the standard colours they will supply with any colour you specify. I have mine in the Manx Colours Silver Black Red but I have seen them in British Racing Green and they look fantastic.
