Lean Weight is what makes a motorcycle want to fall
sideways. High Lean Weight makes the bike heavy
in corners, so you have to go slow. Low Lean Weight
lets it be light, responsive, and swift. The
Norton 850 Commando has the lowest
Lean Weight of any production superbike.
Lean Weight is easy to measure — you can
feel it standing still. Straddle any bike,
then lean it slowly to the right. You’ll
find most superbikes
start feeling dangerously
heavy just after they
come off vertical. But
you can lean a Norton
way over on its side
without any fear of
dropping it.
That’s low Lean Weight,
one reason why
Norton is the best
handling superbike.
New for 1975 —
effortless electric starting,
no-fade rear disc brake,
conveniently positioned
handlebar switches,
short-throw left foot shift,
hinged, lockable, extra-
padded seat.
