My favorite line in the article........"Norton will reveal their intention to build a new family of 650cc parallel-twins at this weekend’s Motorcycle Live, showing renderings of a new scrambler model to canvass input from potential owners."
Very nice, looks ideal for my commute. Hopefully the Donington outfit have learnt from past mistakes and have an accurate prediction of demand, reliability and parts supply. If they have it will be a big step for them towards being one of the big time manufacturers, they may not want to be, but if you are going to build a product that is in demand, then they should supply it.
Looks like a case of this forum needing a re-title.
I’d want one more if it was a two up. I really like this bike tho. Cheers to another good looking machine.
Why would a scrambler be two-up? Are you really saying you'd like a simple, clean, naked, two up road bike? I miss my old BMW R80GS as well!
Scramblers aren't exactly hardcore, rocky uphill dirt bikes. Not even as rugged as the old Enduros. It is cool for a dirt road or a firm beach, maybe a field to chase your untrained retriever who could give a damn about your geese. You'll need some room to strap the bugger on for the ride home.Why would a scrambler be two-up? Are you really saying you'd like a simple, clean, naked, two up road bike?

Like this. What a nice job they did with the retro looking engine. Only 47bph though. Nice looking ride. I'm in no rush.I’d want one more if it was a two up. I really like this bike tho. Cheers to another good looking machine.

FAMILY. Hoping for something that is comfy two up riding, 100HP. That seat looks a bit short. Exciting news.
This new Norton looks rather odd, the new Enfield twin looks better, but that's my two cents worth of course.
Be frank guys, if this bike had the name Kawasaki or Honda on the tank, would you give it a second glance ?
100HP from a 650cc twin will be a fine trick indeed!
