Norton marks V4SV, V4CR and Commando 961 end-of-production, ahead of new product-led resurgence

• Iconic Norton Commando 961 to end production
• Final Norton V4SV and V4CR manufactured
• Norton preparing for bold new product range unveiling at EICMA 25

Solihull, UK, 1 September 2025 - Norton Motorcycles today confirmed the end-of-production of its V4SV, V4CR and Commando 961 models to bring the last of the icons off the line at the Solihull factory. The production lines at the Company’s Solihull manufacturing facility are now active producing the new models being launched in November.

The all-new product line-up spearheads the marque’s resurgence which will see the introduction of an all-new design language for the Norton portfolio with expansion into new market segments and sales regions.

Norton’s range expansion is underpinned by substantial investment and access to the state-of-the-art know-how of one of the world’s largest manufacturers of 2-wheel vehicles, following the Company’s acquisition by TVS Motor Company in April 2020. 

Whilst all remaining Commando 961 production has already been purchased by dealers, there is a waiting list for the final deliveries which will soon be closed. Norton is continuing to offer finance packages to welcome new owners to the Norton family. Dealers are also offering collectible last-of-the-line units produced to a handful of collectors.

Executive Director, Richard Arnold, said: “The Norton V4SV, V4CR and Commando 961 are revered the world over as the latest in a long line of iconic Norton motorcycles. As one chapter ends, another begins and the waiting is now almost over to reveal our exciting future. Norton’s rich and storied history has always been built on a forward-thinking mindset and our resurgence reflects a bold vision for these legendary British motorcycles.”
