BITD the law of Nortons was never ride farther than you can push it home.  

Now, I'm not so sure.  Does Britain still have the precision alloys, machine tools and skilled worker passion to put this together right on a mass assembly basis?  10:1 pistons, 270-deg crank and catalytic converters (that already blued the pipe as you can see) are a turn off for me, but still………

This is the way motorcycles ought to be!

dont agree with the high compression = premium gas
give me a lower comp thumper or a varshen boxer (ol vw)

the more I look at the Norton the more I like it.
For the life of me I do not understand why they stayed with a pushrod engine, Dang it they let the Italians overtake them in the Isle of man,with Gilara,MV Agusta,I mean the Manx Norton was a fabulouse bike,but you cant put it up against 500cc fours,and then came the Japanese , The british motorcycle business was doomed, unless they get there sh1t together they will die a slow death ,Ok right now they started with a retro bike for those of us who like the classic look , by this time next year  they had better up the Ante or it's goodby Norton
Again.
