Come see us at “ rykas cafe “ on Sunday April 5th , & we can all have a moan together, we usually do , praise the bikes looks & good things that we’ve experienced & then have a moan bout the bad school boy errors we’ve also experienced ( which were all avoidable)My 961's "British" mirror snapped off at the first sight of a spanner - assumed a UK brand as it had a Western name on the back - wrong, made in Vietnam. Replaced with bar end mirrors of quality - made by Oberon - exactly what should have been fitted in the first place! Oh, by the way, Norton were not the least bit interested when I bought it to their attention at the NEC. Lovely bike but a very strange mix of quality parts alongside crap.
I’m gonna say this. for the most part, my Norton’s have been trouble free minus one poorly installed cam cover gasket resulting in a loss of oil pressure. And the neutral light flicker. Both were very easily fixed by myself.
I’m proud to own my Norton’s and even more so that they are “British” made. If I knew they were made in China or India I would of never bought them.

They didn’t call them Nissan shite boxes for nothing taxi drivers favouritesRemember when Japanese cars started to appear around 1960? Horrible crap.
Ten years later, Japanese motorcycles made the British motorcycle industry obsolete.
Now we see the same evolution in China.
Regarding quality, you can get different quality depending on the price you pay.
As usual, buy cheap, get crap.
Lol. Tony beat me to it.Hi how did you fix the flashing neutral light mine drives me nuts
If Harley bought the name we'd get the Norley
Romaton sounds better
How about Finland - Finton
Brazil = Norzil
If Harley bought Norton we’d have a piece of shit with a ugly ass tank, long rake and 100 pounds heavier. NO THANKS.If Harley bought the name we'd get the Norley
