The Commander was the successor to the earlier Norton Interpol 2, unlike the air-cooled Interpol the Commander had a liquid-cooled engine which offered more power and better reliability.The production run was separated into two lots, the P52 bikes that had a single seat and were for police use, and the P53 which had two seats and was intended for civilian touring use. The Norton Commander was released in 1988 and built until 1992.At the time of its release the bike was lauded in period reviews for its power and smooth operation, but its high price and lack of dealership support hampered sales. The Commander is powered by a 588cc twin rotor, liquid-cooled Wankel rotary engine that produces 85 bhp at 9,000. They were developed for use by the police, and this one was sent to Dubai where it was evaluated by the Dubai Police Force. This is one of the original Norton Commander P52s from the 1980s, it’s an exceptionally rare motorcycle with just 253 PS2 models made in total.
