Good Morning!

Thanks so much for all the interest and questions about the release of the new Norton 952 Commando. We've been inundated with requests for more information and we appreciate your patience.

Due to the overwhelming demand we have provided this newsletter to give you all the information you need to get one today! (and we mean TODAY!)

Orders Now Being Accepted

Image We are proud to offer the first new Nortons for sale since 1976. The new 952 Commando is the culmination of Kenny Dreer's history of Norton Commando restoration and two years of dedicated design work.

Quite simply, we are now open for business and we couldn’t be more excited. The new 952 Commandos are limited and will be numbered as they come off the production line. These signature edition Kenny Dreer 952 Commandos are a special run and will sell for $19,995. As Kenny says, “They’ll have all the gingerbread we can afford to put on them.” Special options will include Ohlins suspension components, Brembo brakes, custom wheels and special paint treatment.

We’ve made these bikes to be ridden. Sure they’re collectibles, but we believe the reintroduction of the Norton Commando should be on the road. These bikes will be the most rideable and collectable bikes around.

Target MSRP for the production 952 Commando is $14,995. Production bikes are scheduled for release in 2005.

We want to offer everyone an equal opportunity to purchase these inaugural motorcycles. As such, these will be sold on a first come, first serve basis beginning October 20th, 2003 at 9:00 am PDT through our website.

The basics are as follows:
* Retail price: $19,995
* Deposit: $1,995 - put in escrow until delivery. If we don't deliver your bike, you get your money back.
* Bikes will be numbered and signed by Kenny Dreer
