Ok, who is going and when? I am there on Monday, looking forward to seeing the new Norton's and a few other bikes, hopefully with a view to buying something new next year, you cant beat a bit of window shopping

Fantastic. They wanted me to put a deposit down there and then. :D

Apparently the engine is the V4 motor with two cylinders left off.

I can’t quite work out why the Scrambler version is £2k more though.

The KTM 790 Adveture is much better and comfier in R trim. Not sure on those side fuel tanks though.

The Yamaha 700 Tenere looked a bit spartan in comparison.

Norton also had this Superlight sportsbike at the show, based on the Atlas. Bet its a dream to ride.

I hope this is a trend of brilliant lightweight sportsbikes with useable power.

Not that i would spend £19k on a Norton...

It's a bit glitzy-looking. Like something you'd see at a show, and ONLY at a show.

McGuiness is the pilot.
