It's no secret that NYC Norton knows how to build successful classic championship-winning racing bikes, and parlaying those skills into the pinnacle of streetfighters was an obvious move. For this Seeley Norton Commando 1007, commissioned by fellow classic racer John Magyar, all the conventions of a Norton Commando streetbike were tossed into the blender by us here at the shop.
The output from that mixture is a master recipe for mayhem. Marrying the light and nimble Seeley racing chassis with the ultimate Norton twin motor, weighing in at a paltry 300 pounds and putting out close to 100 hp at the rear wheel, the 1007 is a wolf in wolf's clothing. This is not your father’s Norton by any stretch of the imagination.
With the 1007 now a dominating Seeley streetbike, NYC Norton has done even more builds inspired by this machine in a myriad of displacement configurations. The proof is in the pudding, and the eating is good.
