Introduction (V4 owner)

Good morning to you all,

Having lurked for some time I thought I better join up and introduce myself. I got my Norton V4SV in carbon back on 26th May and it has just had it's running in service after 500 miles, which I fortunately managed to get in mainly before it rained all July! I've had the suspension softened off as I felt it was set up too hard from the factory but other than that I'm delighted with the bike.

So far I am really enjoying the ownership experience and getting positive responses from everyone that sees it and wants to talk about it. I'm looking forward to opening it up properly as the miles rise. There are a couple of quirks with the bike, but I was expecting that to be honest (needs a clutch lever adjuster, sidestand hard to use with boots on both of which I noted when I had a test ride back in November 2022) but nothing to spoil the overall package. The bike goes, and stops brilliantly and makes a fantastic noise. I do have to get a tail tidy soon though as the current number plate mounting solution isn't very visually appealing.

I have to say a massive thank you to the new Norton for honouring my order for a V4SS and providing the bike that they promised, for which I will always be very grateful.

I was going to add a couple of pictures, but I can't figure out how to just yet.
