Default The new Norton

The new Norton is plastered over all the motorcycle sites today.

Two (slightly) different 650cc twins with a starting price of £9995.


I like the look, it looks modern but not bug-like and angular like so many new models. Would I buy one? They are only making a couple of hundred initially and I imagine they'll sell quickly, what would put me off is the dealer network (or lack thereof), if there was a local dealer, I'd consider it but my nearest dealer is 100 miles away. Stupidly small mudguards but all bikes are like that.



It's light (178kg dry) it has power (84 hp) adjustable (front) suspension - is it worth £4000 more than an SV? Probably not, but who buys a bike for rational reasons?
