wondering if the 2013-2017 bikes will be more sought after in the future for LACK of euro four? I think so.
 
Good question and only time will tell.

Personally, I would think that the most likely ‘future classics’ will be the various ltd edition models. After that, I personally think that the later the bike the more desirable, right up until they stop making them, basically because the factory do keep (steadily) improving the breed each year.

It will be interesting to see how history judges the very early bikes.
 
Euro 4 bikes will be available in North America very soon as CARB testing is completing as we speak.
 
Yea. The CVO and Screaming Eagle resale price for Harleys has the opposite effect. Better performance from the 107 and 110 Milwaukee engines. These old dudes are freaking out over it.
 
Personally, I think there will be a market for both.. the single seater is nicer looking for sure, the euro4 probably has some technical evolutions (and ABS) that some buyers will be looking for...
 
Yeah but, the single seat issue will be resolved just as soon as Richard gets his Euro 4 single seat conversion kit on the market...

Right Rich ??
 
Yeah but come on, he was displeased that you were selling parts that Norton sell as OEM parts!

That’s quite a different matter, and there remains a clear opportunity for genuine after market parts, meaning, parts that Norton don’t make.

Simon made it crystal clear that he had zero interest in a single seat for Euro 4 bikes.

Nah... not just the CF. There is more to it. Rather not ruin this thread.
 
My 2016 SF dose not have a evap canister.
My 2016 Naked does.
My 2016 Naked also does not have ABS.
 
Some makets (California?) required the EVAP canister before Euro 4. Maybe your naked was intended for such a market?

Simple to remove though...

Did you install the EVAP removal kit? What did it cost? How long did it take? Are there any reliability benefits apart from cosmetic?
 
The kit is a very minor collection of small parts.
I asked Norton to send me one, which they did.
Then I discovered that they had already fitted one to my bike as part of the shortie/ de cat/ re map job.
So, all I had to do was remove the canister and associated detritus.
As far as I know, there is zero impact on performance or reliability at all.

Originally EVAPS were fitted to models destined for california only, and we later altered the homologation so ALL USA spec bikes had them - so yours will be between the change.

I seem to remember that Simon said that the removal kit came as part of the open exhaust/ remap fit?

Feb 2018: "We have a EVAP blanking kit to go with the aftermarket exhausts. Also a TSB to show how its plumbed in. All not for for road use of course."
