Pretty bike. The brake and shift on opposite sides will take some getting used to. A friend of mine had a beautiful black Interstate with the bigger gas tank. But red looks really nice. All I need to see now is the "Norton Girl", and I'll buy one.

Sweet bike.

WOW!

Beautiful!

I am looking at an old BSA that I would love to turn into a 'cafe. Old iron is awesome!

Honestly, if you had entered that into the PoTM contest I think I would have voted for it over my own picture!

I'm in love with this bike... if I could easily start it... or easily pull the clutch... shit, it's gloriously difficult

My husband is going to poop his pants!!

Your husband may be the single luckiest guy in the world.

Azoom,

I HATE YOU SO BADLY!!!

THAT'S MY BIKE!!!

I've always wanted a cafe racered red Commando 850. The exhaust growl from those parallel twins are glorious. About close to two years ago, I was on my Aprilia riding in Newport Beach and up came this dude on an 850 red Commando and we both cruised a bit, blipping the throttles like squids, scaring the women, chillun and Hardly-Ableson riders alike.
