3/21/2013 · Norton Commando 750 Fastback: Command and Conquer. 21 March 2013.

Norton called them only Commandos, no Fastback distinction. The tank & tail section is made of fiberglass. The tail, radical-looking for the time is what gave the bike its nickname “fastBack”, which the factory adopted when other variants of the Commando were introduced. The first one was pushed off the assembly line in February 1968.
