Given the initial cost of the new Commando plus the investment need to "get it right" would you buy the 916 again? Just wondering.
You really think so? Aren't there MKII that need some tweaking too?I would again. The new bike will have all of the fixes done already. I would say get one.

The lack of dealer support has been the hurdle for me. Now that I live in Arizona my nearest dealer in in California, 500 miles away. Last year when I still lived in Washington State I went to the Norton dealer there ready to write the check. The one bike that they had in stock didn't run and they had been waiting for almost a year for a new ECU unit. They have since relinquished their franchise. Not a good selling point to me. Maybe someday but at 65 years old I don't have a lot of somedays left.
Too late now. I took the 20K that I had put aside for the 961 and purchased a new touring bike. Maybe next year if the money and the desire are there. I'll watch what the factory does and see if a dealership ends up in the Phoenix area. If Norton isn't interested in supporting the 5th largest metro area in the country I will have a tough time supporting Norton. 500 miles to my nearest dealership is too far. Thanks for the recommendation.Try the guys in California...... they can give you the most up to date info on the Norton brand as they converse with UK on a regular basis.
