Norton? Yeah, see the sticker?!

That's worse than Mike Seate's "Triton". At least he has stupidity as an excuse.

If you read the blurb, it was race prepped in the workshops at Donnington.
At no cost to the consumer = all funded by race sponsors.

Maybe not what Norton fans had in mind, but they are going racing with a V4.
And the frame is british....

Yep its a Spandon Aprilla V4 with some engine and swingarm adjustabilites to make it a real Norton. Here's another interview of insights

Garner: "...we've got all of our focus on road bikes to make a profitable and sustainable business as opposed to the bottomless pit of racing."

And, yet, here they are spending money racing. I'm sure that money has nothing whatsoever to do with U.S. waiting customers' deposits...
