I like how easily the front end came off the ground. It also had a very generic new bike whir to the motor when the throttle was blipped and I learned why they are so expensive, the economy!

Do NOT assume the sounds was from the Norton. If it was it also makes a huge difference where the mic was placed.

Wonderful to see new Norton name in major media. Don't be fooled by the wheelie appearing as just a roll on front lift, the sound track is not matched to the images, so just like a real Commando he had to rev up some and drop clutch to get er up. Still the prettiest newbie out there.

Yes, I thought the same.

Never thought of that Dave, but it reminded me of a new Triumph Bonneville. I'm sure with aftermarket mufflers it would sound pretty nice. It is a darn shame they have to be so friggin expensive.
