Old New Norton wins it's first race!!!

New Manx anyone? Nice diversification. I guess they knew the new Commando wouldn't be able to win on the track so they brought the old bikes into to represent on the podium.

Interesting business decision. Molnar, McIntosh (and others?) already have good businesses supplying to and servicing the Manx racing brigade. And Molnar claims to have the rights to the original factory info. Will be interesting to find out if Norton are manufacturing from scratch or sourcing from others.
Of course you can't have too many Nortons

There is a short background story about the engine and the people involved in the current issue of "Race engine technology": http://www.highpowermedia.com/mall/prod ... 2047/86415

According to this Molnar bought the Manx project including the rights to the name "Manx".
