Norton 850 Commando

The Norton 850 Commando was a British motorcycle that boasted an overhead valve engine. It was in distribution from 1967 to 1977. During that decade, it received good reception all over the globe. Motor Cycle News even named it the “Machine of the Year” for five consecutive years. It received inspiration from the ‘40s, which was the era of the twin model.

Honda CL200

The Honda CL200 did not stay in distribution for more than a year. It received a lot of comparison with the Honda CB200. Boasting an exhaust system mounted over its gearbox, its pipes were on the left side of the bike. This model came out when the public had not been all that fond of smaller bikes. This explains why it did so poorly in terms of sales, as well as the short period of production.
