An old friend is back,
Norton Motorcycles are back in business, the 2009 range is out.
Will bring pictures from the show in December.
How long before one of you puts a chair on this.
There's a racing street model too in Black & Gold.
Now where's my bank manager

Very nice... but with a 1000cc vertical twin, best ring your dentist as well!
The web site is http://www.nortonmotorcycles.com - it says they're working on a rotary as well. |

1st I think thats an American number plate on the back, which I think is where they tested it.
2nd It's only a 892cc, so not as many dentist visits

This model was developed in the US, and the company went bankrupt a few years back, I think right after the Gilroy CA made Indians went under. I always thought it (the Norton, not the Indian ) was a great looking bike and hated to see them go under.
According to the website they bought all the rights and intellectual property. So there's hope.

Maybe different spec's for different Countries, i.e. bigger for your market.
