Norton
I like the overall lines of the bike except for the exhaust, it looks like they gave up designing, found an old one in the bin and said: "'ere, this'll do."
Other than that, it's a limited run from an expensive bike manufacturer so I'm guessing it's going to be more expensive than a used SV. If it was mine, every time I saw it I would get a mental picture of Henry Cole in his flat cap which would take the edge off my enthusiasm. https://mcn-images.bauersecure.com/P...=90&scale=down |
Re: Norton
Looks to me like a classic cruiser style tank with a classic sporty style seat and a classic standard style frame. I like the exhaust but it's too modern and doesn't fit the one thing that ties the rest together.
Given all that, I don't dislike it. It's just odd. |
Re: Norton
Would much rathsr have a Thruxton R

Re: Norton
Yeah, I saw the program where Henry Cole and some buddies designed it for Norton but can't remember if the exhaust is the same.

Re: Norton
Thruxton R would be my choice of parallel twin too. Look and sound fab. That Norton looks too much like an old fashioned bitsa to me. I always thought Triumph had a much better eye for style, both the old and the new version of the company. Some of their bikes were, and are, works of art on two wheels.

Re: Norton
If it's parallel twins we are talking about, it's got to be a Nuda 900R for me

Re: Norton
Mmm, that's a bit too pointy supermoto for me I'm afraid!
