My Suzuki GS1000 developed engine problems recently. It's down for the rest of the season. That left me with only one commuter, Chugley, my Royal Enfield Bullet. So I thought, why not add the Norton to the commuter fleet?
I rode the Norton to work today for the first time. It started first kick, settled into a nice smooth 800 rpm idle at the first traffic light, and performed flawlessly. It makes a great commuter - light, torquey, and agile. Lots of fun.
I'm only planning to ride it on nice days though. I don't want it sitting out in the rain all afternoon. Chugley will continue to be the rain bike.
