A new Norton: 1200cc, v4 ....

[Obo]

... 206hp (@11K rpm) and 130Nm torque @ 9000 rpm.

Supposedly made with more of a focus on real world driving and not just a track bike.

Variants include the base Manx R, Apex and Signature Edition (base to top prices)



Oh, did I mention it comes with a 6 axis "pick-your-height wheelie" control system??

I like....except for the durn tail design that is plaging the new motorcycle world.
And, its V4..

Doesn't look anything like the 1968 Dunstall Norton Commando! Maybe I truly am a Luddite

Yawn…….

Yawn…….

Yeah. Me too. How many times has Norton gone bankrupt and emerged from the ashes years later? It could be the next best thing to sliced bread and I wouldn't touch it. If I'm going to put down a major chunk of money on something, I'd like to believe it'll be around in six months.

Same. Not liking the fenderless look at all.

I had 4 > 2 Dunstall mufflers on my 750-4 and it was the best sounding exhaust note I've ever heard. The chrome wasn't well done but I didn't see it when under way (weigh).

Hard for me to get excited about any new Norton.
I've lost count of how many times they have tried to resurrect this brand.
I would have really liked to see the short-lived, high-end Motus sport tourer succeed... and not simply because it was hand-made in Birmingham.

America’s sport-tourer is made in Alabama. But, what makes the Motus significantly different is its engine. Check out the ride review at CycleWorld.com.

It kinda' reminds me of the a$$less jeans that someone tried to make popular back in the '70's.

You have to try the new and improved version.

No. Just a purist.
