I think that looks beautiful.
It manages to look retro without looking old.

That front mudguard could lose the wire bit, though.

£10k is a bargain. It'll shift at those prices.

I think that looks great, especially if it is only £10k

It looks quiet nice, seems to be the new wave of retro scramblers flooding the market. Cafe racer's and bobbers last year, scramblers next.

Very smart looking bikes.
Like Franky says, they seem to be popular at the moment.

At those prices you'd think it'd at least come with mirrors.

Thats nice for the money. I reckon they will sell all they make. Norton still evokes a lot of memories for many bikers too.
Maybe this is their way of further ramping up numbers at the factory.

I filled out a form on the Norton site to call me and arrange a test ride, I would be interested to see how this rides being a P-Twin, last one I road in the configuration was a 250cc 2 stroke lol

Been to the NEC today. Saved £80 on the Skylift and saw these Nortons.
Have to say they are lovely bikes. Hope they go as well as they look.

That sounds like a big nasty petrol powered pitbull getting angry coz you took his squeaky toy away!
I like it a lot.

Looks incredible.
Is that the standard sound?
