If I’m right, that’s an Australian’s special, I lived down under in the 90’s. Drysdale built one using a pair of FZR400 top ends, but this is a 1000, so I wonder what he’s used this time.

Not sure, I just know I wouldn't want to be the one that built a hand TIGed exhaust for it. ha ha

Nice job Norton ! ...............I think there has been some inspiration taken from the iconic Ducati 916 in the way that the bike looks light and compact and balanced.
Pity that the colourful Union Flag (Jack) doesn't find a place somewhere on the bike to lift the otherwise monochrome aesthetic.......oh well..... i'd still have one of these in my fantasy garage.......Probably not so much as a bike to ride, but more of a work of art.

I’ve seen pictures of all four and in my opinion they need to carry on building the Commando, just to subsidise the loss those others are going to make.
The Manx R don’t look to bad, but the naked ones look abysmal! Well that’s my opinion for what it’s worth.
