Other Bikes » 1976 BMW R90S vs 1974 Norton Commando video

Here is a link to a short video in which Peter Egan compares his 1976 BMW R90S and his 1974 Norton Commando: https://boingboing.net/2018/05/22/peter-...ut-his-r90.html

I absolutely agree with his comment that "everyone went to the Commando" when they stopped. The same thing happens when I ride my '73 Commando. It doesn't matter what other bikes are present, everyone walks over to look at/ask about the Norton.

Ironically, two years ago when we were at the Manx GP at IOM (we're going again this year), it was pretty much the opposite. Nortons were EVERYWHERE! We started laughing about it, remarking each time we saw one, "Oh God, not ANOTHER Norton!"
