Re: Norton in trouble again
I'm not sure they actually made any to sell. A lot of the bikes in production were fictional apparently.

Re: Norton in trouble again
An all too familiar tale of shade and woe I'm afraid. Remember Maxwell, De Lorean, et al.

Re: Norton in trouble again
Triumph dont need to do anything about Norton. They sorted themselves out 30 years ago and showed the way forward. Someone might learn a few lessons from that and do the same with Norton now but it would need a proper business model and a lot of investment. John Bloor put huge resources into Triumph and didnt see a return for decades,if ever.
