"Norton Commando 850 MkIII Interstate" (1976)
The 1976 Norton
Commando 850 MkIII Interstate in silver was the final evolution of the
legendary Commando series representing the culmination of years of
development and refinement. The MkIII model featured several upgrades
over its predecessors including an electric starter, better switchgear and a left-side gear
change making it more user-friendly and
reliable. The grunty 850cc parallel-twin engine was the heart of the motorcycle,
delivering 58bhp and a top speed of around 115mph with plenty
of low-end torque for effortless cruising. The silver colour scheme of
the MkIII Interstate depicted here adds a touch of modernity and elegance, set off
by the chrome and of course the classic 'Norton' logo. The larger fuel tank,
comfy seat and riding position made the Interstate an
excellent touring machine capable of covering long distances with ease.
The user adjustable Isolastic frame system continued to provide a smooth and stable
ride, ensuring that the MkIII maintained the handling characteristics
that the Commando series was famous for. The Norton Commando 850
MkIII Interstate is therefore a standout classic among 1970s motorcycles.
