3.14 minute.
being on the new Norton mailling list, I got their latest press pack in the post today; including a new promo video for the 961 SE / NRV588, it's just 100% bike porn.
couldn't find it online, but for anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about have a look here Cheers Mark.

Re: 3.14 minute.
Sounds like some £500 125 commuter.
Trick forks bolted to an outdated frame and engine don't make a good bike.

Re: 3.14 minute.
I like 1960's bikes and I like modern bikes. But this mix of 60's and 21st century parts really isn't doing it for me.

Re: 3.14 minute.
I'd trade the Tuono for one. It's a great mix of nostalgia and modern performance - naked and bags of character.

Re: 3.14 minute.
I don't see what all the fuss is about. Ok, so it has Ohlins suspenders etc, but after 40 odd years of development I'd bloody well hope they've made a decent fist of making it a damn sight more reliable than the piles of crap that used to wear that badge in the past.
What's the big deal, it's still a big parallel twin that rattles and vibrates... fine if you like that sort of antiquated feel, but of no use to modern motorcyclists whatsoever. |
