Which would YOU have......?

Literally a wild ride.
The originals could quickly catch the unwary rider out.
Grabbing a bit too much throttle exiting turns, it could lift the front right off the ground.
Extremely high pucker factor.
 
Only one bike, for the rest of yer life :oops:!? No brainer for me!

There’s only one bike type that can pretty much do it all, from scratching with your mates (amazingly well), to riding across continents - and everything in between. If the tarmac runs out, no problem!

Mid size/or big bore adventure bike for me please! With a large dollop of Orange. Swap the nobbies’ for grippy Trail Attack III’s and you’ve got one hell of a road bike! If you never tried one then yer misssing out - a real blast!

That’s not a Norton
It’s not British
It’s not hand made
It’s not boutique
It’s not air cooled

It is mass produced on a assembly line
It’s spare parts are readily available

But has it ever been ridden around the world?
 
Your question was hypothetical Voodooo and you‘re suprised by a hypothetical response? Nothing to do with Norton.

Has an adventure bike ever ridden around the world 🤣?

Thats what these big adventure bikes were built for - the 1290 Adv wouldn’t be my first choice for a RTW trip, I’d go lighter where possible but the 1290 would do it without raising a sweat!

Completed a circumnavigation of Aus on a 990 Adv in 2017 - it didn’t miss a beat. The modern Adventure bikes are without doubt the most versatile motorcycles ever built.

Thank you messrs McGregor and Boorman!

Hi Voodoo , Great story . That seat looks like it would be comfortable with a thick cushion.

Here’s my 2023 desert sled, the seat is pretty comfortable to me. They offer a few different seat options on ducati accessories catalog.

I was really hoping Norton would have made the Atlas bikes.
The desert sled scrambler is a 803 air cooled. I like it.
