Yesterday I was out on my Mk 3 in North Wales , ended up at a well known Bikers cafe, anyway :-
A silver 961 SF rolls in (first time I'd seen one on the road apart from a factory tester)
Had a good long chat with him about his beautiful bike, he said he'd had the bike since December (bought new) and had very few problems, one a slight oil leak from a rear crankcase bolt that just needed a wipe with sealant, and a tendency for the revs to rise at idle, that he expects will be cured at the next service. The bike had been decatted and had pea shooter type silencers fitted (at the factory)
The guy had no long standing love of Nortons and owns a Ducati Panigale, BSA Road Rocket, and big Harley aswell (so obviously he likes twins!)
He said he really enjoyed the bike, and the service from Norton had been excellent - so a happy owner
His mate has a 961 with over 40,000 miles on with no probs to speak of.
I left with a much better feeling about the bikes , I do hope the factory is successful, the bikes just ooze quality .
