The 961 Cafe Racer was the sporty-styled version of the revived Commando, launched in 2010. It has an air-cooled, fuel-injected 961 cc pushrod twin with a balancer shaft, Ohlins suspension, Brembo brakes and BST carbon fibre wheels. A dual seat was optional and a single-seat cowl could convert it to a solo cafe racer.
