Great pics!




Although you've mislabeled one of the photos.
The Proper Bike is the first photo.
(I'd like to test ride one)

Going to be controversial now (what a surprise ). I think that the Norton is a really nice looking bike, but, if they want to be a successful company they need to look at the way Triumph made their money.....Copy the Japanese, then start building replicas.
It sounds as if I'm being negative towards them, but you only need to look at companies like Buell, Bimota & the 1980's Norton to see what happens to "one off" bike manufacturers. Guzzi were in the same boat until Aprillia bought them out.

Must resist, You cannot do that at work.

Now if they could get that GSR 750 to look a little like them, perhaps it would be a nice bike.

However, a bit of bit swapping needed. That hugger with the grill needs replacing by the curvier solid one. and I prefer the chrome fork lower over the black. so whoever did them, got yhem nearly right.
