New Norton

[steve59]

The new Norton I heard at the dealer sounded like it wouldn't make it out of the parking lot, I get investors wanting to cash in on retro bikes right now with the success of HD and Triumph but the new Norton's seem rushed. Like it was never intended to be ridden.

SCREW NORTON its an overpriced 961 CC motorcycle I think the new TRIUMPH line will put NORTON out of business

Again?

I really think the Thruxton has the Norton beat in everyway and its half the price no contest NORTON looses

Might try and nail myself an Irving Vincent, road version of course.
I just like how it had been re engineered from ground upwards.
The race versions sound awesome at the Broadford track that's for sure.

@steve59
You may well be right. Too rushed, not enough research and development perhaps.

It was the dealers launch, showing off their new demo's

They now have a vin number for mine, 'might' be this week.

Information from Triumph UK is extremely poor, almost non existent
